 The Vikki Carr Christmas
Album Reviews
We were ecstatic when Ms. Carr selected our Christmas
song, "You've Just Missed Christmas" for her album. We were
truly overwhelmed when we heard it for the first time! There was
such emotional sincerity and power in her beautiful voice and the arrangement
was outstanding! Ms Carr's performance is beyond a songwriter's dream.
Her albums should be in every music lover's collection.
Penny Lea, Buzz Smith and 'in memoriam', Bonnie Miller

The Vikki Carr Christmas Album
is a manifestation of Ms. Carr at her very best. Her voice is literally divine and in conjunction with the music, a passion is created that
places you right into a joyful, peaceful, loving Christmas spirit. Her
genius technique of blending English and Spanish into her music shows that she is definitely in keeping with the
cultural evolution. Rev. Matthew Williams - Chicago, IL
________________________________________________________ Dear
Vito, I just bought the Vikki CD of Xmas music. WOW! it's marvelous and, as the
saying goes, "gives the reason for the season." One of the songs,
"I Still Believe in Christmas," is a repeat for me from a Firestone
Christmas recording from the late 1960's--I believe Vikki sang it? the current
performance is by and far superior! The others are too great to not get a rave
review from me! In the "Reviews' on your homepage, an article says Vikki
wants to do gospel. She is the only person who can sing the telephone book in Swahili and make it sound
good! Her Christmas CD is sitting next to the ones by Nat "King" Cole
and Eileen Farrell as my faves. (Eileen Farrell is also a crossover star, having
recorded a fantastic swing album of pop songs in the fifties and sixties. And,
she sang serious classical and opera to boot! Vikki is in good company in my collection). I will let you know on the article--it's
still in progress but close to completion). See you later. Richard

Hello to all of Vikki's Special People. First I want to thank Vito for this
wonderful Website, I cannot visit it often enough. Now for those of you who may
not have your copy of Vikki's Christmas Album, I would like to share
my thoughts with you. This album is one of Ms. Carr's best. Even though it
is early November, I have played this album over and over again. My
favorite song is " Oh Holy Night" . When I hear it it
brings a tear to my eye. I had the privilege of seeing of
seeing Vikki when she was in Ft. Worth, Texas this last Sept. Vikki told us
about the upcoming album so as soon as I got home that night I
ordered my copy. I've always heard there are angels on earth
and if there are, Vikki Carr is one of them.
Also on the Christmas Album she sings "The Prayer". When
you hear this you know she is singing it from the heart
for everyone. Thank You Vikki for this beautiful album.
A devout Vikki Carr fan, Kathryn Robinson, Fort Worth
Texas

Hi Vito. I was so delighted when I found out about
Vikki’s Christmas album,
and even more delighted when it arrived and hit my deck. The musical
arrangements are superb and very different from the typical Christmas albums one
finds in shops. It’s no surprise to find that Vikki has chosen some great
songs like the Prayer to include in this album. My favorite
song on the album is “You’ve Just Missed Christmas”. It reemphasizes the
true meaning of Christmas. It’s so wonderful for a non Spanish speaking fan to
hear Vikki singing in English again, but Spanish speaking fans need not fear
either as many of the songs are in both English and Spanish. Excellent work as
always Vikki - can’t wait for your next project. Christmas this year will be
that bit more joyous with Vikki’s Christmas Album.

And so my passionate Love affair with perfection
continues. I can hear you now...you’re telling me there is no such thing is
perfection aren’t you? Well then, I am telling you that you have never heard
Vikki...For you see, Vikki Carr is not just a voice...she is THE VOICE OF ALL
VOICES. If all the stars in the sky were singers, Vikki would be the moon...and
in the day, the sun. As I believe I have written in one of my past poems to her,
her voice is a never ending miracle...beautiful, and yes, again perfect. ...And
her brand new Christmas CD only proves one thing...this perfection still exists
and I am still hopelessly in Love...lost, eternally in the luscious sound of her
voice...caught and entranced by her spell...tangled up in her
passion...intoxicated with her deep emotion. Her voice is not just one
instrument, it’s entire orchestra, every piece you could ever imagine. And
once again you can experience this phenomenal sound on her brand new sensational
Christmas CD, where you will find and experience a delightful mix of holiday
music. Although this CD is unlike most of your traditional Christmas CDs,
don’t you worry, because Vikki has thrown in a few classics in between like
"Feliz Navidad" "I’ll Be Home For Christmas" "Oh Holy
Night", and "What Child Is This" and although you may possibly be
unfamiliar with the rest of the songs, perhaps, "I Still Believe In
Christmas" "What Made The Baby Cry" or "Mary Did You
Know" - let me just say this, by the end of this Christmas season, you will
be completely familiar with all of these songs and a whole new tradition will
begin. With Vikki, you have never just heard it all...or seen it all. She will
always be there, with another song, another album...another show. And if for
some reason you believe that you no longer can be touched by this woman...that
you have cried your last tear...well...all I have for you is two words TRACK
TWELVE. ...SIGH. ...Again, THANK YOU VIKKI!!! AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU, AND ALL
OF "VIKKI’S SPECIAL PEOPLE"!!! ...A true fan and friend...FOR
ETERNITY...Steph :)

Once again Vikki Carr doesn't disappoint. This
wonderful lady, who has given me so many hours of listening pleasure, has done
it once again. The part of Vikki that has always touched me is the pure
emotion evident in her voice. Her love is quite evident in this project.
"Feliz Navidad" gets off to a bit of a slow start, but ends up with a
jazzy bang. Who couldn't resist the longing in "I'll Be Home For
Christmas"? (I'll send her a ticket to Denver) "What Child Is
This?" is quite different that the version she recorded some years ago.
I don't know which I prefer. Both have the classic Carr treatment.
"Mary Did You Know?" has the impact of an oncoming train. WOW!!
How could such a simple song be so full of love and care? Vikki, you're
one of a kind. Let's not forget Mark Portman's fantastic arrangements.
"What Made the Baby Cry", "The Prayer" and "Hooray For
Christmas" are sure to become classics. "Hooray For
Vikki Carr".
Tony Worix - Denver, Colorado.

For many, these songs will keep them anxiously
waiting and prepared for that one wonderful night, Christmas. “So much rushing
and shopping to do,” this CD with its diversity of sounds, as well as lyrics,
will keep the true spirit alive within. In
your heart, you come to remember what it was like as a kid to experience
Christmas. Its real true meaning, vision, and loveliness without the commercial.
So, as you “dream of a place you love,” and “it
may seem like a long road back” to how Christmas use to be, this
selection of hymns sung by Vikki helps you find your way. Along with her sincere
voice, you feel the love that one feels when they think of Christmas. The
non-commercial. The way it truly should be. The songs are truly beautiful. With
This CD, whether with friends and/or family, work or alone, she brings you home
with her voice and you come to remember what it is SUPPOSED to be. Not what it
has become. By the end of Christmas, you will truly believe it was an “Oh Holy
Night!” and saying “Hooray For Christmas”
Best wishes to all!

After waiting several years for Vikki to do a Holiday album, it
finally arrived and was definitely worth the wait. Vikki's voice is in true form and her selection of songs is a wonderful array of English and Spanish, upbeat and serious, showing us all how versatile Vikki's music is and how well she performs in any type of song. This album will not
disappoint the most difficult critic. It is a welcome change to hear different and unusual Christmas carols, one's that progress with time, not unlike Vikki herself. She sings with her usual heart and soul and will
definitely make this Christmas a bit more merry.
Thank You Vikki for giving us your gift to us......One beautiful album that will be played for years to
come. As you state in your album cover your feelings toward your fans, well....we all love you too.
Lou Cabibi - Levittown, N.Y.
