“O Come All Ye Faithful” – Lisa Fischer (Fox – 1992)
Talk about a performance that’ll stop you smack in your snow tracks, singer supreme Lisa Fischer came out of nowhere with this intimate heart on sleeve recording of the timeless Christmas hymn – sung solely to the accompaniment of Nat Adderley Jr. at the piano who she recorded and toured with as a member of the late, great Luther Vandross’ inner circle. This recording was for the soundtrack of “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” but was never released as a single for obvious reasons. Yet it is one of the most seasonally spot-on captures of pure Christmas spirit ever committed to tape.
