Astronomy A Christmas Gift for You, from Me and John Bongiovi.
Posted by Erik Henriksen on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 8:00 AM
LISTEN:
That Christmas classic is from the 1980 album A Christmas in the Stars. Says Wikipedia:
The album is notable for featuring the first professional recording of Jon Bon Jovi (credited as John Bongiovi), who sings lead vocals on the song "R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas." Jon's cousin Tony Bongiovi co-produced the album and ran the recording studio, where Jon was working sweeping floors at the time.
Know what we call that? A Christmas miracle.
OKAY FINE ONE MORE.
LISTEN:
Oh, those sweet, sweet dulcet tones. Thanks to Zac Pennington; to all a good night, etc.
