Sounds Of The Season

★ Sounds Of The Season  (2005)

   

The gorgeous album which includes standard Christmas carol and original songs by recorded with luxurious artists .
Ray Charles,Seal, Amy Grant, Rod Stewart and many more artists!
There includs "Gether Round" of Earth,Wind & Fire that I desired to listen.


Originally this song was for the collectors edition of "Illumination".
Cd for SP (Sales Promotion)of American supermarket Target.

But this Cd is so hard to get !
So I'm happy to be able to listen to this song!


It was written by David Foster and Maurice White after a long absence.

Though I expected the beautiful melody because it is in Christmas album .
It is made with pleasant melody that makes our feets move!...
Like "SING A SONG" in 2005 ! ! !

This song is very similar to Sing A Song.
It becomes the almost same song when I sing a place of Sing A Song replacing with Gether Round. Though the atmospheres are quite different.


Probably there would have been a demand from a client.
Voices of Maurice and Philip both appear on the front all the time !
And it is so comfortable.

Of course even a double of "Sing A Song" ,It is my favorite !
