Forty years on, it still has the same impact. Thanks for watching.

Anyone know where the song can be downloaded for an mp3 player? (Prefer legal but will take any other way! lol) I can't find it on any of S & G's alblums. Thanks!

The original is on their 1966 Album "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme."

I first heard this version on Dec 23, 1966 at 3 - 4 a.m. I remember the date & time because I was driving on I-95, going home for Christmas leave. I was stationed at Fort Bragg, & my unit was leaving for Vietnam in January. Our CO granted us leave even though we were close to shipping out. I wanted to hear Silent Night and at first I was upset because I thought the signal from another station was cutting in.  When I realized it was part of the song, it hit me in a very profound way.

The only good thing ever to come out of religion is the music.

Doesn't this say it all about why Jesus Came to us?

I remember listening to this when I was a little girl and finding it really scary. It still is I guess. Incredible song xxx
