Marry Christmas. Jackie Gleason Vinyl
For all who treasure the memories
and the sentiments and the
romance of Christmas time,
this is a rich, rewarding album in the
gentlest spirit of the season.
Here is warming, fireside holiday music, of a kind
that is meant for those precious hours when evening
reaches toward dawn and thoughts drift into dreams
of holidays gone by, and of those yet to come.
The mood is soft with the glow of Christmas lights
seen through a snowfall, and gay with the stir of a
tree-trimming party.
The melodies are familiar ones, but their settings
most certainly are not, for even Jingle Bells emerges
as a lovely, almost haunting thing in the hands of
Jackie Gleason, the showman who so deftly turns
listening into a constantly fresh and memorable event.
