There’s no Christmas without You. No Merry Christmas It won’t be true Don’t wanna be alone on a day like this You’re at the top of my Christmas list. So many people would rather see A bunch of gifts under the Christmas tree. But what good would all this be Without you loving me? I remember when we first met. I was feeling down. Then you came you turned my life around. But since I left……. things ain’t been the same. Every time this season comes around I find myself calling your name There ain’t no Christmas without You. No Merry Christmas It won’t be true What good would Christmas be Without you loving me. There’s no Christmas without You. No Merry Christmas It won’t be true Don’t wanna be alone on a day like this You are at the top of my Christmas list. And what good would Christmas be Without you loving me? There ain’t no Christmas without you No merry Christmas without you

I remember Christmas Eve With gifts under the Christmas tree And you right here beside me Now all I have Are sweet memories I would trade it all today to bring us together Like melodies and harmonies we’re meant for each other. Things may never be the same but just for Christmas Day I wish the gift that I received was you. Should I feel ashamed that I thought I didn’t need you How could I think I could replace you Now I can see What you mean to me If only I could turn back time We’d be together I wish that I could take away the Pain That we caused each other Things may never be the same but just for Christmas Day I wish the gift that I received was you. And I know I can’t rewind the time and change the past But I wish that you were here for my to try There will never be another one like you in my life And I never got a chance to say goodbye Drive One more chance to say I love you That’s my wish for Christmas Day Tell me what to do to make it up to you That’s my wish for Christmas Day

about

Welcome to Christmas with You. A unique and heartfelt Christmas journey crafted through three distinct yet interconnected songs. Each track in this collection is a reflection of my musical journey, a blend of personal stories, and an invitation to experience the holiday season through a lens of warmth, reflection, and joy.

1. "There's No Christmas Without You" - Remix: This track is a soulful homage to my gospel roots. Reimagined from its original big band arrangement, the remix takes a dive into a more intimate, Pentecostal sound. Featuring the legendary Dr. Kevin Bond and the extraordinary horn arrangements by Phill Lassiter, this version is a powerful blend of church-inspired organ play and spirited saxophone performances. It’s an invitation to feel the holiday spirit with a gospel twist, infusing traditional Christmas vibes with a deep, resonant soulfulness.

2. "My Wish for Christmas Day": This song is close to my heart, written and produced for my wife as a tribute to the complex emotions that surround the holiday season. Featuring Maurice Lauchner, Mark Kibble, and Mark Prentice, the track is a poignant expression of love, longing, and remembrance. Its rich harmonies and lush orchestrations offer a comforting embrace for all who have loved and lost, especially during this time of year.

3. "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas": A classic holiday tune reimagined through my lens as a musician. With a special saxophone gifted by David Sanborn, this rendition is more than just a song; it's a celebration of musical heritage and the timeless joy of Christmas. It’s a piece that resonates with the warmth of the season, inviting listeners to indulge in the familiar comfort of a beloved Christmas melody.

As you journey through this album, you’re not just listening to songs; you’re experiencing stories, emotions, and a tapestry of musical influences that have shaped my artistic expression. This collection is designed to be more than a listening experience; it’s a journey through different facets of Christmas, each song a different shade of the holiday spirit.


To enhance your experience, the purchase of this album includes both Performance Tracks and Instrumentals. Whether you’re looking to enjoy the full richness of the songs as they are, or you wish to create your own renditions with the instrumentals, Christmas with You offers a versatile and immersive Christmas experience.


Prepare to be enveloped in a world where Christmas is not just a season, but a feeling, a memory, and a melody. Enjoy the journey, and may this album be a cherished part of your holiday celebration. 🎄🎵🎷🎹🎤
