Wynonna sings a touching rendition of the Elvis Presley classic "Blue Christmas" on the TV special "David Foster's Christmas Album" (NBC, December 10, 1993).

This song is from David Foster's Christmas CD, which features an all-star cast performing some of the best Christmas music of the 1990s:

Johnny Mandel's bittersweet orchestral arrangement is quite beautiful and moving, perfectly expressing the underlying sadness of the lyrics. David Foster would later use this arrangement again, on Celine Dion's "These Are Special Times" CD... but I think that Wynonna's version is the better one.

Listen to Celine's version here:

This is one of my very best favorite Christmas songs and Wynonna does it better than anyone! Absolutely brings tears to my eyes. I would like to forward this to a "most" special someone and was wondering if I could do that anonymously?

I agree, this is one of the finest renditions of this song ever. I'm surprised that it doesn't get more airplay every Christmas. In my radio market, it never gets played anymore. Producer David Foster later used a similar arrangement when he produced Celine Dion's Christmas album, but I think that Wynonna's version is better.

This is the absolute finest rendition of Blue Christmas I've ever heard. Wynonna sings it so beautifully and the orchestra is second to none in providing such a superb backup. Whenever I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes because it reminds me of that special someone I was once engaged to that I haven't seen in 51 years. Wynonna, thank you so much!

6 DAYS: I had to force myself to not use the "The Year Without a Santa Claus" version of this song since I used it last year, but this version is nice as well. Great song if it's de-Elvis-ified. There's something about it that touches me. Haven't we all had a Christmas where we miss someone? I know I have.

@SuperBurton80 I agree, and I think that this track in particular is very underrated. David Foster later used a similar arrangement of this song on Celine Dion's Christmas album, but I think that Wynonna's version is better.

I have a Judd fan since I was 3 years old lol!! My mom says everytime they came on the radio I would go crazy signing and dancing...I even asked Santa for a LP of them when I was 5 lol!! I love her soo much and she is very underrated by the radio & the main stream music industry!! I wish they played her music more often!!!
