The Christmas Song, originally titled The Magic of Christmas, is a 1960 album
by Nat King Cole, arranged and conducted by Ralph Carmichael. This was Cole's
only full album of Christmas songs, although he had recorded several holiday
singles earlier in his career. One of these, "The Christmas Song", originally
recorded in 1946, was re-recorded for the 1961 album The Nat King Cole Story. In
1963 The Magic of Christmas was reissued under the title The Christmas Song,
with that recording added to the track list in place of "God Rest Ye Merry
Gentlemen", and with new cover art. It is the best-selling Christmas album
released in the 1960s, the 1963 version reaching number 1 on Billboard's
Christmas Albums chart where it remained for two weeks.
This magical recording is now available on limited edition 180g picture disc!
"Nat King Cole was so smooth that his songs could elegantly slide away from a
listener, like a figure skater heading for the far end of the pond. This album,
originally released as The Magic of Christmas in 1960, provides baritone
reassurance that Christmas is a happy time, not an annual family debacle. But
the secret ingredient is Cole singing hymns in German and Latin: straining to
put across foreign lyrics, you can hear him employing all his professional
skill." - Rolling Stone, 40 Essential Christmas Albums
