Otis Redding - White Christmas (Atco-6631)'68


This has been my favorite Christmas song from the first time I heard it. To me it's a totally different song then the original.
Listen to the BIG
O's voice..................... chills down my back, the feeling, the emotions and around 2.12 min into the song he seems to choke in his emotions (listen closely, but turn up the volume, you might miss it). I get goose pimples all over my body from just typing this part down. And the musicians................. words come short.......................... the organ intro, the guitar picking away, the smooth horns ( a masterful and heavenly rearrangement)

man, i love this song. it is exactly how you discribe it. the chills. the warmth. the feeling of being home. i was just watching that episode of 'how i met your mother' when they play this song. tell you - pure emotions.
unfortunately i can't locate any recording of it here in germany. do you have it as an mp3 file? i would be so gratefull if you could send it to me... thank you soooo much in advance!
