Funny story….. back in the late eighties I was working at Marshal Music in east Lansing Michigan and ended up selling a piano to her brother for his son. Jessye had suggested that they should purchase a piano for her nephew who showed an interest in music. Her brother gave me an autograph after the piano was delivered because I gave him a great deal on the piano!

Such a simple melody sung with such elegance and style. Appropriate that this greatest of singers should have a Christmas Carol named for her. This should be in every hymn book across America. Everyone can sing this simple refrain "Truth and Love Abide, This Christmastide". Tears.
