Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9yFZ1JCBL8...ted&search=

IF I CAN DREAM is a secular spiritual song really—and very passionately sung by Elvis. Watch him loose himself in the song. The song was written by W. Earl Brown specifically for the Singer 68 Special, also known as the Comeback Special. Elvis ended the show with it and it was a song about about Hope and Brotherhood and the plea for the world to get along.

The Morman Tabernacal Choir has several collections of carols. The Irish Tenors have a collection Home for the Holidays that I also find very enjoyable. I like the traditional carols myself. There is recording by Eugene Ormandy and the Temple University Chorus called The Glorious Sounds of Christmas. Does anyone have a recommendation for Handel's Messiah.

Again, these guys are amazing and I can listen to entire Christmas CDs by them without wanting to skip songs. There are tons of videos on youtube showing people
