Do You Hear What I Hear

“Do You Hear What I Hear?” is a song composed in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis—which shocked the world at the time—with the aim of calling for peace.

Since it sings about the birth of Jesus Christ, it’s perfectly suited for Christmas.

In 1987, Whitney Houston covered the song, including it on the Christmas-themed compilation album A Very Special Christmas.

Her voice, set against rich backing vocals, has an outstanding presence and pairs beautifully with the sparkling, quintessentially ’80s sound.

It’s a track I especially recommend to anyone who wants to spend Christmas with a pure heart.
