So I am beginning my Christmas Music playlist for this year (yes, I am starting early, I know ). I was wondering if anyone here knows if Sammy Davis Jr. ever recorded a Christmas album. He did 2 songs I know of, as they are on my Christmas With the Rat Pack cd, but I wonder if he had a complete LP out there somewhere.

Doesn't look like it:

That Rat Pack Christmas CD is awesome, though. Dean Martin has a pretty good solo Christmas album called "Making Spirits Bright," and Frank Sinatra has one called "The Christmas Collection." Both are good albums.

If you find a solo Sammy, please post it here because I'd like to get it as well.

Wasn't he Jewish? Then again so is Kenny G I guess.

I'll second those. Next to Johnny Mathis' Merry Christmas and Vince Guaraldi's A Charlie Brown Christmas, Dean Martin's album is my favorite. I just wish Martin had a definitive Christmas collection. Making Spirits Bright is excellent, but there are at least two other albums - Christmas with Dino and Seasons Greeting from Dean Martin - that contain a lot of overlap, but also have songs that Spirits doesn't.

Although, nowadays, I listen to most of my music on my iPod, so that's less of an issue and I can create my own "definitive collection."

So's Neil Diamond and he put out some Christmas albums, too. Whatever makes $$$.
