Just in time for Christmas, Al Hibbler delivers the most obvious song about God from the 50s. Unfortunately, the lyrics are nearly repellently religious. Al Hibbler’s old school vocal and older school arrangement make render this song inert today. The question is: did it work well then? I don’t know. The McGuire Sisters also recorded a top twenty version, so it must have had some appeal. And Al does sound like he has true conviction… but I’ll never put this on as background music unless I have to.
