Pierino Ronald "Perry"Como (/ˈkoʊmoʊ/; May 18,
1912 – May 12, 2001) was an Italian-American singer, actor and television personality. During a career spanning
more than half a century, he recorded exclusively for RCA Victor for 44 years, after signing with the label in 1943.
He recorded primarily vocal pop and was
renowned for recordings in the intimate, easy-listening genre pioneered by
multi-media star Bing Crosby.
"Mr.
C.", as he was nicknamed, sold millions of records and pioneered a weekly
musical variety television show. His weekly television shows and seasonal
specials were broadcast throughout the world. In the
official RCA Records Billboard
magazine memorial, his life was summed up in
these few words: "50 years of music and a life well lived. An example to
all."
Como received five Emmys from 1955 to 1959, a Christopher
Award (1956) and shared a Peabody Award with good friend Jackie Gleason in 1956. He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame in 1990 and received a Kennedy
Center Honor in 1987. Posthumously, Como received
the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002 and was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2006.
He has the distinction of having three stars on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame for his work in radio, television,
and music.
The Perry Como Christmas Album is Perry Como's
15th RCA Victor 12" long-play album.
Como is accompanied on the album by the Ray Charles Singers and an orchestra arranged and conducted by Nick Perito.
On two songs, "The Little Drummer Boy" and "Have Yourself a
Merry Little Christmas", boy choristers from the Little Church Around the Corner and from Saint Thomas Church (Manhattan) also
participated.
O holy night
the stars are brightly shining
It is the night
of the dear Saviour's birth!
Long lay the world
in sin and error pining
'till He appeared
and the soul felt it's worth!
A thrill of hope
the weary world rejoices,
for yonder breaks
a new an' glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine O
night,
O night divine!
Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night, when Christ was born
O night divine O
night,
O night divine!
O holy night
O night divine.
