5.0 out of 5 stars Something for Everyone, January 22, 2008

There is such a variety of musical styles on "That Special Time of Year" by Gladys Knight & the Pips that it jump starts the ol' Holiday spirit with one listen - it's all here.

THE HAPPIEST TIME OF THE YEAR is a lush, dramatic Christmas ballad.

The title track and JINGLE BELLS are so upbeat they almost require a spinning mirrored ball.

Their cover of THIS CHRISTMAS has been my favorite for years...and this song has been covered by over a dozen top artists.

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN is a fun cut for the kids and the kid in us all.

Also covered by other top artists is WHAT ARE YOU DOING NEW YEARS EVE. Gladys Knight gives an outstanding performance and The Pips keep up with her every step of the way.

THE LORD'S PRAYER" and "WHEN A CHILD IS BORN are both duets featuring Johnny Mathis and are both beautiful performances.

For year-round enjoyment, this disc features two amazing recordings that will inspire and lift spirits during any season, I BELIEVE and LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH (And Let It Begin With Me). Soft, sweet and yet powerful.

I have this on an album. It must be over 40 years old.I've been playing it,but this year I decided to enjoy it on a CD.My favorite selection is The Lord's Prayer with Johnny Mathis.

"That Special Time of Year" has touched the hearts of many. I am an elementary teacher and a liturgical dancer. I am always searching for music that gives a message. This tape was has been used over the years at different times of the year to remind us to believe, be in prayer, and peace will be with you. Margaret Fox
