The
Carpenters Legacy Lives On...
Christmas
Portrait
Information/Comments:
Merry
Christmas to all! If you like the classic Christmas songs,
I don't see how you would not enjoy this album. "Merry
Christmas Darling", "Christ is Born" and "Ave
Maria" are among my favorites. I also love the artistic
"Norman Rockwell" look for the album cover - my
complements to whoever made it.
The
Song "Merry Christmas Darling" is one of the "original"
Carpenters Christmas songs, written by Frank Pooler, and was
released as a single back in 1970.
I
don't believe the original "Christmas Portrait"
album was ever released as a "stand-alone" CD. You
can however, get some of the songs from this album on the
Carpenters Christmas Portrait,
"Special Edition" CD, which was released in
1985.
