When George Michael came out as gay on live TV and inspired a generation.

The powerful moment George Michael first locked eyes with ‘future soulmate’ in audience.

The incredible night George Michael went undercover to watch his impersonator.

19-year-old George Michael's phenomenal first TV appearance with Wham! - watch video.

Like Santa himself, Mr.Yet one such utterance saw the Wham! star receive a telling-off from none other than Frank Sinatra, when Ol' Blue Eyes wrote an open letter to a Los Angeles newspaper. There's bent-knee R&B balladry ('Merry Christmas Baby' and 'Please Come Home for Christmas'), smokin' groove workouts ('Go Power at Christmas Time,' 'Soulful Christmas') and shots of gritty social consciousness ('Santa Claus Goes to the Ghetto,' 'Let's Unite the Whole World at Christmas'). The Godfather was re-inventing rock & roll in his own funk-revolutionary image throughout the late Sixties, so it's no surprise that he injected some soul-power into the holly, jolly time of year.

The best tracks from each are collected on this fantastic set. Beach Boys, ‘Beach Boys’ Christmas Album’ (1964)īrown, who died on December 25, 2006, recorded three Christmas-themed albums during his creative peak: 1966's James Brown Sings Christmas Songs, 1968's A Soulful Christmas and 1970's Hey America It's Christmas.If you don't like it, you're looking for something else. But, of course, the best tracks are solo Crosby, pouring vocal butter on 'Silver Bells' or 'I'll Be Home for Christmas,' and making them unforgettably his own. Crosby's 1945 album Merry Christmas – expanded over the years with tracks from throughout the Forties and Fifties and reissued on CD as White Christmas in 1986 – has a distinct Irish-Catholic flavor thanks to the hymn 'Faith of Our Fathers' and the jaunty 'Christmas in Killarney.' There's also the Hawaiian-tinged 'Mele Kalikimaka' (one of three songs where he makes hella merry with the Andrews Sisters). Seven decades later, his vocal style remains the template for elegant ease and stately sentimentality. The Irish crooner's 1941 version of Jewish songwriter Irving Berlin's dreamy ballad 'White Christmas' has sold 50 million copies, inspiring covers by everyone from Stiff Little Fingers to New Kids on the Block. What Jesus is to Christmas, Bing Crosby is to Christmas music. hit 'One Christmas Catalogue,' a sublime synth-rock evocation of all the ways we use the holiday to mark time – for better or worse. You can judge the staying power of David Bowie and Bing Crosby's legendarily bizarre 'Peace On Earth/Little Drummer Boy' for yourself, but don't sleep on Captain Sensible's minor 1984 U.K. The album has two sad, snow-covered romantic masterpieces (the Pogues and Kristy MacCall's 'Fairytale of New York' and the Pretenders' '2000 Miles'), some jangly adorability (Matthew Sweet and the Buzz of Delight's 'Christmas' and Chris Stamey Group's 'Christmas Time') and nerdy comedy gold (Kris Kringle is a girlfriend-stealing skeezer on They Might Be Giants' 'Santa's Beard'). Christmas singles and college-radio novelties perfect for that last show you do before winter break.
