Ray Conniff And The Singers – We Wish You A Merry Christmas (1962)
A festive favourite from bandleader and arranger Ray Conniff, whose instantly recognisable sound blends light orchestral pop with his distinctive vocal group. Released on Columbia Records, We Wish You A Merry Christmas brings a fresh, cheerful feel to a collection of traditional carols and seasonal standards, with Conniff’s singers often using their voices almost like instruments, adding wordless harmonies and playful vocal arrangements.
Highlights include “Jingle Bells”, “Silent Night”, “Frosty The Snowman”, “The Twelve Days Of Christmas” and the title track. Conniff’s combination of bright brass, strings and close vocal harmonies gives the familiar material a polished, easy-listening charm.
A classic slice of early-1960s Christmas pop, full of warmth, nostalgia and wonderfully arranged seasonal cheer.
