- Vanessa Williams sings a medley of "Mary Had a Baby" and "Go Tell It on the Mountain" on the TV special "David Foster's Christmas Album" (NBC, December 10, 1993).
This medley is from David Foster's Christmas CD, which features an all-star cast singing some of the best Christmas music of the 1990s:

Vanessa Williams would later include this track on her 1996 "Star Bright" CD:

Like several other tracks on the Foster CD, this medley was edited for television. On "Mary Had a Baby," one verse was deleted; I restored it and filled the video gap with pictures. On "Go Tell It on the Mountain," several choruses were cut; I restored them and compensated by copying and repeating part of the video to fill time.

Vanessa Williams is so stunning and beautiful and a voice is so Angelic that at times I just stare at her. She truly hypnotized me. So talented
Vanessa Williams. I just love her.
Her voice is so beautiful weather she is singing pop or RB or Jazz and look even gospel.
She can sing anything.
Still watching on Christmas 2022. And it gets better every year.
This is so beautiful. The dancers oh, Vanessa Williams of course oh, and the choir.
I still come back to this every year, it wouldn't Christmas without watching it.

Because Vanessa recorded this for David Foster's 1993 Christmas album. He gave her permission to include this track on her own Christmas album in 1996.
Thank goodness because I love her Star Bright album!
beautiful hallelujah
Thanks for the compliment. I think you're the first person to notice where that splice is (or the first person to comment on it, anyway). It was fun finding ways to "expand" the video so that I could use the uncut audio.
Beautiful dance 💖🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💖💖💖💖💖🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Amazing.. thx
Oh my my!!! Glory be to God!!!
Thank you for this upload! Wonderful and impressive editing! Two thumbs way up!
+peze80 You're welcome. Thanks for the positive feedback. Have a Merry Christmas!
I've always like vanessa williams, and I must say at 4:39-4:43 I was impressed, I did not expect that from her!!
I'm back for this in November of 2024
The CD liner notes for this track read, "Acoustic Piano - Randy Waldman" and "Keyboards - David Foster." I didn't include every single musician in my notes because the credits would be a mile long. I only noted what Mr. Foster's contribution to each track was, since it was his album. But since you brought it up, I added Mr. Waldman to the list. :)
According to the CD liner notes for this track, the orchestra & choir were arranged by Jeremy Lubbock, and the
choir on "Go Tell It on the Mountain" was arranged by Andrae Crouch.
However, that doesn't mean that the people we see singing are the actual choir members. Maybe they are, but they could have just been extras who were hired to lip synch to the recording.
This special was shot in Hollywood, I believe.
100,000 views!
Thanks to all for supporting Vanessa's song and my little video. Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄 ❤️ ♥️ - HAPPY CHRISTMAS 🎄 ❤️ 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Notice future star actress Gabby Sidibe of "Precious" and "Empire" fame is one of the 2 children singing in the opening shots.

Back again in 2016. Love this video more than ever.
Thalema Williams Studios 2018😀
Think that Randy Waldman is playing the piano her. Really great!
The dancers' names are Paula Brown & Darrel Wright. I don't know what dance company they came from.
You don’t know what dance company they came from? Why?
Yezzzzz!!!
Are you Randy Waldman? Or a family member? I only ask because your profile says you are 29, but in his UA-cam videos, Randy Waldman looks a bit older than that. Either way, thanks for posting.
You're welcome!
Yes it is, she's an actress and singer.
FUCK. she is so fierce.
Christmas 🤶🎅tv 📺special 🎞🎥filmed at? Location info?
is that PRECIOUS in the chorus?
Where was this tv 📺 ?
Jimbo Marshall's set looked so magnificent!
I am a BIG Vanessa Williams fan. I wish I could meet her in person. No homo, but she is very pretty.
@javierbabycakes i was thinking that too!
Yep, doesn't she always? Must be that Miss America vibe.
do you know who the choir is? and was this in NYC?
5:13 i sense a praise break lol
64 people that don't know talent and are racist!
So beautiful 😍
Of course, they're stupid and ignorant. She's the best!
I know right. It’s best not to be racist to anyone, even while commenting.
Who's singing that deep part at 1:46? I never noticed it until now.
I think she sang that part also
👍
@OneHundredChords its a play
@Danielle58282 Sorry I mean She looks the same NOW in 2010 not noe. Sorry

Why everytime that the camera cuts to the choir it focus on a white person first? :S
instead of a black person?oh, or gods sake..give it a rest
she look pregnant in this
she was
the entire show was lip-synched, unfortunately.
Céline Dion
True. I worked on the special.
I don’t care, it was still amazing and my favorite!
