Christmas In Your Heart - Bob Braun

 

Christmas Medley

Christmas In Your Heart
Bob Braun
Orchestra Conducted by Leroy Holmes
Produced by Leroy Holmes
United Artists Records STEREO UAS 6664
1968

From the back cover: Bob Braun is the moderator of the most successful daytime television show in the history of Cincinnati. His rugged good look, easygoing manner and rich singing voice have made his name a household word in the Midwest. The last, but by no means the least of these talents is amply exhibited in the ten Christmas songs that constitute this album.

Bob was the staff announcer, who had entered television via the song and dance route, for the show when it was piloted by Ruth Lyons. To say Miss Lyons was popular, is like saying Willie Mays is just another baseball player. For over twenty years she was daytime T.V. in middle America. Failing health caused her to delegate more and more duties to members of her staff. Since Bob was always her "pet," he received the "Lyons" share of the action. When Miss Lyons retired from the show Bob was faced with the unenviable task of replacing the legend. The rest is T.V. history. His ability to interview the biggest names in Hollywood, his cool demeanor and his mass appeal to the ladies made him an instant winner. A family man, he makes constant reference to his wife, their three children and their home.

With all of these assets, who would be more qualified to sing about Christmas than Bob. Each beautiful song reflects holiday spirit and home. He seems to be saying, in the sincerest and most convincing manner, "Merry Christmas."

Christmas In Your Heart
Everywhere The Bells Are Ringing
Do You Hear What I Hear
A Marshmellow World
A Child's First Christmas
Let's Light The Christmas Tree
Christmas Lullaby
Winter Wonderland
That's What Christmas Means To Me
I'll Be Home For Christmas
Christmas Medley
