Some reviewers weren't fans of the style of these songs, saying that the covers veered too much into pop territory. Some wished that they had been done in a more traditional style. Others didn't like the original songs. Edwards, Gavin (November 30, 2019). "40 Essential Christmas Albums". Rolling Stone . Retrieved December 24, 2021. The album merges classical instruments, like strings and piano, with neo-soul rhythms to create an upbeat and groovy sound. Legend's honeyed vocals bring new life to old classics, aided by punchy horns and funky basslines. Throw this on at a party for a fun and cheerful vibe.In 1941, the trio recorded "That Ain't Right" for Decca, followed the next year by "All for You" for Excelsior. [19] They recorded " I'm Lost", a song written by Otis René, the owner of Excelsior. [22] Booklet Volumes 3 and 4 contain 3 shellac records. Volume 4 is also issued in a box set of three 45-rpm records. Nathaniel Adams Coles was born in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 17, 1919. [5] He had three brothers: Eddie (1910–1970), Ike (1927–2001), and Freddy (1931–2020), [6] and a half-sister, Joyce Coles. [7] Each of the Coles brothers pursued careers in music. [7] When Cole was four years old, the family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where his father, Edward Coles, became a Baptist minister. [8] I grew up exposed to multiple religions. My dad’s side of the family were foot-washing Italian Catholics, while my mom’s side were Jews from New York. In college, my mom was reborn as a Christian, and for me as a kid, Easter with Nonno Giuseppe was as big of a deal as going to seder at temple with my Popi Mel. Now on every Christmas morning, my mom and I listen to A Christmas Album by Barbra Streisand, a collection of spectacular renditions of yule-time classics by not just a Jewish woman, but one of the most notable and beloved Jews in show business. Moments like Babs’ broadway pizzaz on “Jingle Bells?” to her church choir-worthy range on “Sleep In Heavenly Peace (Silent Night)” to her impeccable singing in Latin on “Gounod’s Ave Maria,” have made A Christmas Album one of the top 10 Christmas albums of all time, selling over 5.3 million copies. And for my mom and I, the juxtaposition of faiths across each of the album’s splendid 33 minutes is a constant reminder of accepting and respecting every person’s God-given right to believe and worship whatever and however they’d like. Nothing is more fitting over the holidays than that. —Adrian Spinelli On April 10, 1956, Cole was assaulted on stage during a concert in Birmingham, Alabama, with the Ted Heath Band while singing the song "Little Girl". Having circulated photographs of Cole with white female fans bearing incendiary boldface captions reading "Cole and His White Women" and "Cole and Your Daughter" [50] three men belonging to the North Alabama Citizens Council assaulted Cole, apparently attempting to kidnap him.
