RICHARD PAGE - 5 Songs For Christmas (2010)

If the name RICHARD PAGE does not rings a bell in your memory, he was the lead singer and bassist in '80s USA band Mr. MISTER, and the classic #1 hit singles 'Broken Wings' and 'Kyrie'.
In 1977, his was also a founder member of the mythical band / duo PAGES with his long time friend Steve George.
In the middle of the eighties he turned down the opportunity to be lead singer with the groups CHICAGO and TOTO (he did 'Isolation' background vocals).

After 3 successful official discs with Mr. MISTER, and one with the WestCoast project 3rd MATINEE, Page released his first solo album 'Shelter Me' in 1996.
Since then, he focused his artistic career as songwriter. His songwriting clients include Kenny Loggins, Madonna (Golden Globes and Grammy nominated song, "I'll Remember" from With Honors), Celine Dion, Dionne Warwick, Meat Loaf, Hall & Oates, BB Mak, Bill Champlin and many others.
For our pleasure, Richard has returned to the stage a couple years ago as member of Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band, and recorded his 2nd solo 'Peculiar Life'.

Now, Page is releasing a holiday collection; "5 Songs For Christmas" as digital download only.
Includes four traditional christmas songs plus "I Always Cry At Christmas", co-written by Richard and Grammy winning producer Walter Afanasieff.
As a bonus, "I Always Cry At Christmas" live performance video, an intimate beautiful version, just the man and a piano.

All the songs are arranged in the 'Richard Page style', giving to these traditional tunes an incredible aura of magic and presence. His voice is better than ever, velvety and deep.
This is not Melodic Rock or even classic AOR, but this material is top notch, smooth, sweet and perfectly recorded and performed.
A very special gift to this season.
