jon anderson - oh holy night

[gotarttampa]

It feels Christmas all year.....good one.

[JeffreyWerewindle]

Happy Christmas, all.

[ASeasonedWitch]

"Hear the angel voices . . . " I truly enjoy Jon's arrangement of this old tune.

[90125ify]

I AGREE,YES YES YES!

[MrZeldasmagic]

He did a great job, need to dig out my vinyl and see who the other voice belongs to

[bei1016]

@MrZeldasmagic Sandra Crouch has a wonderful rich deep voice, this balances jon's voice perfectly. I adore this song, and this version.

[3rudurbudura]

sagrado!!!!!

[bourquebuilt]

Jon himself once wrote in a poem I CAN'T find........"Jesus was a Christ, Bhudda was a Christ, Mohammed was a Christ".meaning one annointed by God...........awesome! Also why my other peep francis Dunnery born on CHRISTmas!...so cool man!

[CVC111]

@bourquebuilt I doubt that Mo was a christ. More of a devil if you ask me.

[triarii11]

@CVC111 a personal problem of apparition you can look deeper into as the new year progresses.

[TSDSaBomNim]

Matthew 16:15-16: 15 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" 16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

O Holy Night; a song about the Divinity of Christ. Christ is the savior of the world! And what does the Christ say about Himself? Romans 10:13: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."! Amen, Merry Christmas, for "Jesus" is Christmas! And thank you Jon Anderson for singing a song intended to bring glory to God, not self! Amen!

[martianshoes]

It was posted as Jon Anderson, did not know it was a duet...sorry Anderson was all I wanted to hear, not the gospel singer. Flame me if you want.

[StampingJenny]

@martianshoes I heard it's on iTunes now (finally). Not sure if it's the same rendition or not. You may want to check it out.

[ILoveDamarisLewis]

Pretty amazing that Jon did a duet with Sandra Crouch:)

[AdamsApple1963]

Jon was made to sing this song!

[epvinson]

Jon is Christmas

[MrTilaws]

absolutly brilliant !!

[nicholaslegend]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­

[hoodooh1]

i am a huge yes fan, have been for 25 years and i fell in love with this song when i heard it about 7 years ago. even used it as music in a christmas church program. YES and Jon Anderson have a special place in my heart, somewhere close to neal peart and so many other fine musicians!

[adkpeakboy]

Although not on any other Christmas Album other than 3 Ships, this is the best version of this song out there. For years, I would listen to my cassette of this album to open the Christmas season - always beginning with this one song. A few years ago the CD came out and I bought myself my own Christmas present. Sounds awesome in May as it does in November when I listen to his amazing chords.

Thx for posting!

[artemisadida]

yeeeees :) great song

the 3 ships songs/carols make me always dream at this wonderfull world

[maitreyalux]

Jon has his ways of bringing out the magic in any beautiful song,and this one brings back very fond memories of my past as a young man.

[MeileeAnderson]

Who has time to coordinate that kind of a lighting display?

[baweee64]

I could play this song and all of 3ships cd in middle of JULY and it would still sound divine...What a talent.

[ASeasonedWitch]

@baweee64 - Absolutely!

[warslave27]

@baweee64 too bad i cant repeatedly press thumbs up, so x1million thumbs up. lol i think your post is one of the highest rated now, as it should be. not many ppl apreciate real music, now a days its gotta be made with 14 computers and some gangster off the streets. im 28btw, was raised on yes and all kinds of real music from that era, when ppl had talent.

[littlesthobbo]

You know when Christmas reaches my house when this album comes on! So nostalgic, I've grown up listening to this every year and LOVE IT!

[themanof1000voices]

This is my all time favorite Christmas song, sung by the most heavenly voice I've ever heard. I told Jon the first time I met him that I'll know I've made it to Heaven when I hear this song playing as I stand at the pearly gates. Magnificent!

[ASeasonedWitch]

themanof1000voices - I'm glad you said that to Jon Anderson because it voices the sentiment of many of us as well.

Bless you.

[Wellch]

from 0:40 to 0:44, I thought I saw someone walk outside. :)

But great song!

[johnsposato]

Wasn't this house on TV?

[fjcos]

God dammit good song

[nikedinburgh]

This morning (from Amazon), I took delivery of the 22nd Anniversary Special Edition on CD: the world is wonderful again!!

And the CD has been remastered but the originals are like they were - there's five 'bonus' tracks. The CD last almost 65 minutes.

Buy it, buy it - let's get Jon Nº1 for Christmas..

[nikedinburgh]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes

[dospassos23]

[yesqpr]

[DonCarne]

[xbookfreekx]

[nikedinburgh]

WHY can't they re-release it on CD?

[scott110587]

[nikedinburgh]

Thanks, Quazar

[quazar194]

I believe it is Sandra Crouch.

[nikedinburgh]

Anyone know who the female singer is?

[CapnSlappypants]

my favorite version of this christmas classic... I too heard rumors that 3 ships is out on CD, but I think it's wishful thinking. I have yet to see it.

[nikedinburgh]

How do you spell vynyl and still make it look correct...?

[nikedinburgh]

...vinyl, you idiot!

[nikedinburgh]

Please Lord, can I get a replacement for the vynyl soon: everyone says "Three Ships" is available on CD, but where FFS!

[nikedinburgh]

This rendition has to be the best in the world. Don't think much of the video, though.

[trekie01]

Merry Christmas to all YES fans!!!!!

[rhaibrazil]

Tá parecendo a propaganda do Hiper!

[sorayalis]

A música é um clássico de Natal e ele canta lindamente...
