20th Anniversary Christmas Time's A Comin' CD featuring "In the Heat of the Night" Cast and Friends
Actor Geoffrey Thorne portrayed "Willson Sweet" on TV's "In the Heat of the Night."
Here he is featured from a 1991 interview about singing "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" as part of the "Christmas Time's A Comin'" CD featuring the "In the Heat of the Night" Cast and Friends.
Randall Franks (randallfranks.com) and his In the Heat of the Night co-star Alan Autry (autryentertainmentgroup.com) joined forces under the banner of Autry-Franks Productions in 1990 to produce the charity In the Heat of the Night CD Christmas Time's A Comin' featuring the cast of the show.
Thorne joins the cast in singing "Jingle Bells" and "Christmas Time's A Comin'"
Included here are vintage interviews about the project and never before seen in-studio footage also including Carroll O'Connor, David Hart, Thorne, Wilbur Fitzgerald, Bob Penny, and Sharon Pratt in addition to Franks and Autry.
"I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" includes the talents of Country Music Hall of Fame member Hargus "Pig" Robbins, Jim Hoke, Randall Franks, Bill Everett, Gene Daniell, Randall Franks and Monty Hall.
The project raised funds for drug abuse prevention charities throughout the United States.
Franks and Autry were able to include many music legends, some among them, Country Music Hall of Famers Kitty Wells, Jimmy Dickens, and Pee Wee King as well as many top legends from the Bluegrass genre, from Jim and Jesse to the Lewis Family. The Christmas Time's A Comin' CD released on Sonlite and MGM/UA was one of the most popular Christmas releases of 1991 and 1992 with Southern retailers.
Autry and Franks mark the 20th Anniversary in 2012 with a charity re-release with the original companies benefiting the same charitable goal from the non-profit Share America Foundation, Inc. (www.shareamericafoundation.org, www.alanautry.com)
