RIP Edwin

Making it's first appearance back at the blog since it's debut here in 2012, this is a Christmas album from Edwin Hawkins, one that came a few years after his big gospel-pop hit Oh Happy Day.  I see where Hawkins passed away earlier this year, so this is a small tribute to him and the joy he brought so many with his music. Please enjoy this re-encoded version of Edwin Hawkins-The Edwin Hawkins Christmas Album (Birthright LS 5904, Stereo, 1985).  Looks like there's a different Christmas album of his at Amazon that came out later then this one...

1. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
2. Night Medley: Away In A Manger; Silent Night; O Holy Night
3. The First Noel
4. White Christmas
5. O Little Town Of Bethlehem
6. Follow The Star
7. Joy To The World
8. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
9. The Christmas Song
10. O Come All Ye Faithful
11. Emanuel
