BEST VERSION of this TUNE....EVER!!!

[@deaniemberry]

I have always loved Vince Guaraldi Christmas music, one of the reasons that as a child I loved Charlie Browns Christmas, and to have my favorite musician singing it makes the song very special to me.

I thought I imagined hearing this on WEAA, 88.9 Morgan State of Baltimore radio at Christmas 1998....so glad I found it.

I love this version , david puts the wonderful key notes and michael adds his relaxing soothing voice.

[@ginamariemedina2077]

Homer Gaines I agree!

[@BurgundyPlush]

How did I just discover this from a wiki page in 2019?
Michael is pure smooth perfection. Ahhhhhhh

[@OreadNYC]

Given that Michael Franks is on vocals, of course this would have a bit of a Latin vibe. Michael Franks and Vince Guaraldi...two of my favorite musicians.

From Remembering Christmas

[@JazzizCafeLoveJazz]

La navidad ya esta aquí, David Benoit (@dbmusic) y Michael Franks grabaron esta preciosa versión de "Christmas Time Is Here" en 1996 para el álbum "Remembering Christmas" de Benoit. Un tema compuesto en 1965 por Lee Mendelson y Vince Guaraldi para el especial de navidad de Charlie Brown, "A Charlie Brown Christmas", que se ha convertido en un clasico navideño. #FelizNavidad #SmoothVocals

[@hklinker]

This is awfully good.

[@wrinthiak3431]

Michael Franks can sing no wrong

[@oktaverie]

[@awsjr12]

So David Benoit's hair was ALWAYS white? Lol. Nice vibe on this, with the usual whimsical cleverness of Mr. Franks tagged on.

[@raygreen4675]

Always loved David Benoit and his jazzy style, but who is this Michael Franks guy, Maria? Marginal talent. Lol! Merry Christmas to you and all of yours!!

[@BLUTOV]

Marginal ?! You have tin ears.
