Capitol Comp Gets To The Heart Of Christmas
With the iconic Capitol label recently kicking off an extended celebration to mark its 75th anniversary, the label now ushers in the holiday season with the release of A Capitol Christmas and the lighting of their iconic Capitol Records Tree – which now shines like a beacon from the top of the historic Capitol Records Building in Hollywood.
It’s unsurprising that, in their seven-and-a-half-decade history, Capitol has amassed enough yuletide hits to near enough define the season. From their first ever star, Nat King Cole, to Frank Sinatra – the man whose name is both synonymous with Capitol and Christmas – plus fellow Rat Packer Dean Martin, and some of the finest voices ever captured on record (including Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Bing Crosby and Lou Rawls – the latter a man whom Sinatra himself said had “the silkiest chops in the singing game”), A Capitol Christmas is the perfect collection to celebrate the holidays with class.
