Perry como home for the holidays 1959


Season's Greetings from Perry Como, originally released in 1959, was Perry Como's sixth RCA Victor 12" long-play album and the fourth recorded in stereophonic sound, as well as his first major full-length Christmas album which often overshadows his first, Perry Como Sings Merry Christmas Music.

Contents

The album is warm and relaxed, featuring lush renditions of "Winter Wonderland", "The Christmas Song", "O Holy Night" and seven other Christmas tunes (including a re-recording of Como's own 1954 hit, "Home for the Holidays"). Como is accompanied on the tracks by Mitchell Ayres' orchestra and the Ray Charles Singers.
