“Happy Xmas” is an album of classic rock and blues-infused yuletide favorites.

“Bring Me Love,” “Wrap Me Up In Your Love,” “Purple Snowflakes,” “By Christmas Eve,” “No Place Like Home” and “Merry Merry Christmas.” Legend is joined by Stevie Wonder on the classic “What Christmas Means To Me” and the jazzy Esperanza Spalding for “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.”Įric Clapton also released a first-time collection of Christmas tunes. Of the album’s 14 tracks, Legend contributed six originals. He has taken it upon himself to reinvent standards like “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire),” “Silver Bells” and “Merry Christmas Baby/Give Love On Christmas Day.” 102,423 in CDs & Vinyl (See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl).

R&B crooner John Legend released his first Christmas album, appropriately titled “A Legendary Christmas.” Legend also channels a little yesteryear in a Bing Crosby sort of way. The song is especially important to me this year. It also boasts an original song “Happy, Happy Christmas,” which Michaelson wrote for those grappling with loss during the holiday.
