"The songs and artists on my list make it feel like Christmas to me, from classic holiday movie songs to albums that my mom would play during the holidays. I grew up listening to country, my parent's 50's rock and roll music and big band music from Saturday nights spent with my grandparents watching The Lawrence Welk Show, so I tend to gravitate towards those artists, new and legends."

"Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" is one of the top Christmas songs of all time, favored for its upbeat tempo and playful sound. It's maybe best known for its use in the scene of the holiday go-to, Home Alone. Kevin McAllister creates an elaborate setup to make it look like his family is hosting a lively holiday party rather than revealing the truth that he's been left all by himself. Regardless of what kind of memories the song conjures up, it's hard not to sing along as this holiday classic plays.

His voice is probably one of the best I've heard from a male R&B artists and his writing songs ability is amazing, I often listen to his music during a heart break type of situation it really soothes my issues I have with myself and others.
Been a fan of @brianmcknight23 since 1991, and I must say, He just "Keeps getting Better!" He always puts on a great show and leaves you with that "Uh Oh Feeling" again and again. I always hate when his shows end because they always make me want to have "One Last Cry!" From LA, to the Winstar in Oklahoma, to the Verizon in Grand Prairie, Texas and now the Houston Arena, he never disappoints. Got @brianmcknight23, I will travel! Thanks for always staying true to your craft. My daughter and I enjoyed our VIP seats. It was so worth the drive from Dallas! You're the best, never stop!
