Temptations - Silent Night


My favorite and most beautiful version. The "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" introduction is from Floyd Cramer's medley, first released August 1980 on the Temptations Album "Give Love At Christmas." The single was released in 82. Lineup for this version was: Otis Williams, Dennis Edwards, Melvin Franklin (born David Melvin English), Richard Street, Glenn Carl Leonard. 
There was an earlier version on the album "Christmas Card" released in 1970. The lineup for that version was Dennis Edwards, Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, Melvin Franklin and Otis Williams. Completely different rendition though.
