Hi Adam...
This may be what you are requesting...painfully passionate. I'm not unsure whether he is serious. I believe the singer was dead serious, and just a poor singer. It really is the kind of thing a legitimate singer could not imitate.

It was passed onto me by a friend who has a friend who engineers at a studio in Nashville who has a collection of pieces recorded by people who come to the studio and pay top dollar to make second rate recordings, often hiring a top notch band to back them. Typical of recordings from the 70s it has suffered the deterioration of copying copies of copies (pre digital age).

My suspicion is this was a recording made to a pre-recorded backing track, and I'd love more info on the source.

O Holy Night - click

I found a site with the song and there was an interview with the guy who says he sang it. He claims that he sang it as a spoof on all the bad vocalist techniques he has seen over the years as an arranger and engineer. Even if it really is a spoof, it is funny! Here is the link with the song and the interview:

Hi SFG...
Thanks for that...I've been wanting to have follow up to it. This is downloaded to my files in pdf format as we speak.

He may be on the level, and sure tells a convincing story. My only consideration is if he has all the masters, why not re-release it as a non-warbly copy with the better mastering tapes he supposedly has. Time may tell all...

It is a fun-spot in our holiday every year.

I do appreciate the post very much...and the fact he really does not sing well is evident. I knew this can not be a serious, trained, singer with a strong sense of pitch and other proper technique.
