(218) THE CHRISTMAS SEASON - THE COVER TUNE SEASON

Now friends, the Christmas season has always been and will probably remain, in my opinion, the COVER TUNE SEASON! So very many singers have recorded traditional - and sometimes innovative - Christmas songs.

A Christmas song that sells well can bring in residuals for years to come. Songwriters can become rich on one Christmas song that becomes a classic. Christmas songs may get played for only a short period of time every year but they sell.

Even stars who are known for their own amazing singing and songwriting are willing to cover some traditional tunes. Often they record their own favorites from when they were growing up.

So over the next couple weeks we'll be acknowledging some of the singers and classic songs of the Christmas holiday season.
