Chi-Lites feat Marshall Thompson to Release New Rendition of “White Christmas” on Nov. 19th, 2021 | LISTEN!
Chi-Lites featuring Marshall Thompson Will Release a Spectacular, Spiritual, New Rendition of “WHITE CHRISTMAS”
For Marshall Thompson, 79, this year has been the culmination of three-quarters of a century of an incredible life and career that has exceeded way beyond his dreams. Receiving a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and seeing his beloved Chi-Lites being recognized this past September truly felt to Marshall that Christmas came extra early this year.
NEW YORK (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 17, 2021 – “I did it for my Dad,” said Thompson, the Godfather of Vocal Groups. He played this song for my sisters and brother every year at our house during the holidays. William “Nose” Thompson was a keyboard player that toured and performed with the greats like Louis Armstrong. He inspired my love of writing and performing music and playing live for audiences.
“I always loved the song “White Christmas,” and by coincidence, it was written in 1942, the very year I was born. I remember hearing it every year as I was growing up. My overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my family and loved ones and all of those who helped me personally and professionally over the decades, is what propelled me to record this song now, rather than wait another year,” explains Marshall.
“Sadly last year, due to the pandemic, too many people were separated from their families. My wish for this holiday season is that families and friends will be able to celebrate safely with their loved ones. I truly hope this recording will touch a lot of hearts,” Marshall said.
Early responses from influencers, program directors and, on-air personalities indicate the Chi-Lites featuring Marshall Thompson’s White Christmas will be added to many Playlists this Holiday 2021. “Marshall Thompson’s White Christmas is an instant standard! It makes me feel like Christmas when I was a little boy – – the toys, the love, and the warmth. That’s what Christmas is all about,” reports the popular nationally syndicated radio personality Jeff Foxx, Host of Soul Town on Sirius/xm on Ch. 49.
