Best Solo Voice for Christmas Carols
Not just a one off song and if they're part of a band (Paul McCartney and Wings) don't count.

Who are your favorites?

I have three, Nat King Cole, Burl Ives, and Perry Como

Also, Pandora just played Dean Martin "Baby It's Cold Outside. " wife and I both started laughing.

And before any of you homos start with the negative waves about Christmas Carols a week before Thanksgiving - they make my wife happy which means, I get to drink beer in peace.

I agree but wasn't she a member of The Carpenters for the Christmas songs/ albums?

Francesca Battistelli. She sings real Christmas songs.





You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Sissel Kyrkjebø is one of my favorite soloists, and she has performed most of the traditional Christmas carols.

Here is O Holy Night.

Dean Martin and Bing Crosby are my favorites. There are some songs that I like one particular singer's version better than any other. Nat King Cole's version of "The Christmas Song" can't be topped, IMO--he's the gold standard for that one.

I also love Jim Nabor's version of my favorite Christmas hymn, "O Holy Night" (with no offense to Josh Groban!).

Many good ones mentioned; let me throw Michael Bublé into the mix as well.
