About The Record:

Magic Of Christmas is a 1981 compilation album released by Holiday Records, featuring a collection of holiday songs performed by various artists, including Liberace, Bing Crosby, and Rosemary Clooney. The album blends jazz, pop, and easy listening styles, showcasing classic Christmas tracks like It Came Upon A Midnight Clear, Jingle Bells, and Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer. It was released in both vinyl and cassette formats, with a notable reissue by The Special Music Company in 1990. While the album itself did not produce chart-topping hit singles, it includes well-known renditions of holiday standards, with Bing Crosby’s Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer being a perennial favorite due to its earlier popularity as a single. Historically, the album reflects the early 1980s trend of compiling classic holiday recordings to capitalize on the growing nostalgia for traditional Christmas music.
