5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas Necessity, December 4, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Merry Christmas (Audio CD)
"Merry Christmas" is by far one of the most compelling Christmas releases ever made. Combining old-fashioned holiday standards ("Silver Bells", ""The Little Drummer Boy", "White Christmas") with fun holiday favorites ("Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Santa Clause Is Coming To Town", "Joy To The World"), this record is a beautiful representation of the holiday spirit. The instrumentation is pure Christmas-esqu and the ladies' vocals evoke the joy of the holiday season. In addition to the nostalgic sounds, the record includes some incredible Motown originals: "My Christmas Tree", a tearful, heartfelt ballad filled with longing; "Little Bright Star", an excellent song in the classic Motown tradition, and the albums sole single "Twinkle Twinkle Little Me", whose 45RPM single is creatively displayed in the CD's inlay. In addition, 4 previously unavailable tracks are featured, including the unreleased "Noel" and Flo Ballard's gospel-esque "Silent Night", featuring her upfront on a rare occassion. This long-overdue re-release is an absolute MUST for anyone who wants a holiday collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, Flo Ballard is showcased!, November 14, 1999
This review is from: Merry Christmas (Audio CD)
This a wonderful, must-have album for Supremes fans. All the songs are wonderful with great harmonizing from Mary and Flo. Little Bright Star is a nice, catchy Motown tune. Diana's lead vocals are great, but FLO BALLARD's performance on Silent Night is absolutely ASTOUNDING. Such vocal force and clarity. This song showcases Flo's gospel background. Great liner notes from Andrew Skurow and superb mastering (etc.) by Harry Weinger. I highly recommend this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Bright Stars, January 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Merry Christmas (Audio CD)
Yes indeed! It just isn't Christmas without hearing this compilation of Supreme gems. "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Me", "Little Bright Star" and "My Christmas Tree" truly make the season bright. This extended version is wonderful - but that has all be covered nicely in previous reviews. I do wonder why Motown chose to omit "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem" from this collection, since they released it on a previous Motown Christmas compilation. The girls do a terrific job on that song (as they do on the rest of the Christmas songs). It certainly would be a gift to have all the Supreme christmas songs on one CD.
