Lovely haunting voice. There is a short list of singers from this era of that caliber with us. Nicole Grisoni and Rosetta Ardito come to mind. I was surprised to find out Anne Murray is held in very high regard in such places as Bulgaria. I must take a second look at her art. What happens is you take these artists for granted. There are plenty of young singers with stellar talent, even here, such as Jenn Grant, but the corrupt music industry has shut them out. You have to search for them.

I was 3 years and 8 months old when I first heard this song. Seriously ill in hospital in Belfast with peritonitis, and hours from death. They played it over the radio in the childrens ward. I can still remember every word and the beautiful melody as if it were yesterday. That was Christmas 1966. I'm still listening and enjoying not that far from Christmas 2020.
