Slightly dated by a heavy use of synthesizer and the squeaky-slick production prominent in popular gospel and R&B of  the late '80s and early '90s?? <i>First Christmas</i> is nevertheless right on time in its joyful celebration of the season.  Newly arranged versions of classics like Irving Berlin's "e Christmas??"Handel's "Joy to the World??"and "For Unto Us (A Child Is Born)" cozy in with originals "Give Me a Star??""I Love You??"and "Just Because." "The First Noel??"a well-loved public-domain traditional?? begins with a beautifully understated string arrangement. The album's finest moment is S.?Vincent's "oh Child"; aurally pleasing and emotionally moving?? Mom and Pop Winans?? both of whom sing like angels?? take on lead vocal duty?? backed and supported by their gifted children. It's all about family here?? and the more the merrier. <i>--Paige La Grone</i></br><br/>http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000002USQiin your e
