The Ray Coniff Singers

In his lifetime Ray Conniff recorded more than 100 albums and sold over 70 million albums, cassettes and cd's. He started the Ray Conniff Singers in 1959 with 12 women and 13 men. They were famous for singing whole words, as opposed to syllables. That's part of what makes their Christmas records unique and special. The other half of the equation is Ray Conniff's arranging. One song that showcases his mastery is Greensleeves. He arranged the Christmas song, What Child is This to the 350 year old tune of Greensleeves. They do a great version of Jingle Bells, but myy favorite of the Ray Conniff Singer Christmas songs is also one of my overall favorite Christmas songs, We Need A Little Christmas!
