      I say exactly the same thing. Still getting goosebumps when Karen sings.
      Her high voice makes me feel like I am listening to an angel.Every year I say it's not Christmas until I hear Karen, Perry ,Bing,Andy Williams and Burl Ives sing.

It's so tragic that she didn't love herself as much as we all love her.... RIP Karen - even after all these years, you are still missed. I hope that somewhere, somehow, you know how very special you were and still are to all of us.... xoxoxo

    7/14/21. Stumbled in this Queen and her beautiful voice. I had to go read about her on Wikipedia and I realized she had been part of my beautiful Christmas memories. Such a beautiful voice. Rest on Angel, rest on as you keep singing your way to eternity.

    Was there ever a Christmas song sung more beautifully than this? Karen was a blazing shooting star, who’s light was glimpsed but for a moment, before burning out and leaving us. But whose light shines bright in our memories even all these years later. Her beautiful contra alto vocals and depth of inflected emotion in her tone will never be topped, and it’s what makes this my favorite Christmas song of all time. To me, this song IS Christmas, and it brings with it all the wonderful memories of all the Christmas’s past when this song would be in the background as we shared our joy, warmth and merriment. She left us way to soon, but may the gift of her music live forever. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄

    This carol was written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, and it was first performed by Judy Garland in the film "Meet Me In St. Louis". Once again, Karen made the song her own.
