Amazon.com Fans of Linda Eder's Christmas album will find plenty to enjoy in On This Night, the first Christmas album of Sam Harris, as the former Star Search star turned Broadway performer delivers a rock-solid and diverse 37-minute collection. There are a number of standards--"The First Noel" with a gospel choir, "The Little Drummer Boy" with tribal percussion, "Angels We Have Heard on High" in a rich a cappella setting--but Harris also contributes some originals: the warm pop tune "All I Need This Christmas," the rocking "Santa's Blues," the haunting title song (a lament for what has happened to religion since the first Christmas night), and the anthem "A World of Difference" (celebrating the global community). Back on more familiar ground, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," accompanied by piano, is sung with all the beautiful simplicity it deserves, before "O Holy Night," also with a gospel choir, provides a majestic conclusion. --David Horiuchi Review Harris' touch is magical. -- Los Angeles Times Sam Harris is breathtaking. A belter for all times. -- People Magazine The shear force of his charisma is mesmerizing; rousing one moment and heartbreaking the next. -- USA Today Sam Harris is one of Broadways great exponents of vocal pyrotechnics. This block-buster rattles the rafters. -- Liz Smith Unbelievable! Sam could make Jesus walk through the door! -- Oprah Winfrey When Sam sings...I find myself crying and laughing and applauding and knowing why I went into this business. -- Liza Minnelli, In Theatre Magazine From the Artist This is a collection of traditional and original holiday songs that I hope capture not only the spirit of the season, but the hope and inspiration of our times. It includes the gospelized "The First Noel", the front porch home sound of "Chestnuts", "Little Drummer Boy" accompanied only by tribal percussion, a simple piano/vocal of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", "Angels We Have Heard on High" with me doing a five part vocal sound, and a choir infused "O Holy Night." I wrote four songs for the CD including the pop "All I Need This Christmas is You" (co-written with Todd Schroeder) which I recently sang on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, "Santa's Blues", "On This Night" about returning to the source of Christmas, and "A World of Difference", which I wrote about a new time of brotherhood and unity. I hope you enjoy it. About the Artist Sam received Tony, Outer Critic's Circle and Drama Desk nominations as well as the Drama League's Outstanding Performance nod for his role in Cy Coleman's THE LIFE. He also appeared on Broadway in Tommy Tune's GREASE (Drama Desk nomination) and toured in the Broadway production of JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT. Sam has starred in productions of JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, CABARET, HARD COPY (Drama-Logue Awards for writing & acting) and DIFFERENT HATS (Drama-Logue Award), and REVIVAL, (also self-penned).
