But one good holiday album deserves another, and McKnight's smooth, alluring voice sounds better than ever on 2008's I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. The tunes are a bit more secular than BETHLEHEM, including "The Christmas Song," "Silver Bells," and "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," while carols "Silent Night" and "Angels We Have Heard on High" balance the contemporary with the traditional, with guests Vince Gill, Josh Groban, and Take 6 stopping by to add color.

Brian McKnight was one of the key figures in establishing the romantic, ballad-heavy sound that dominated R&B for much of the 1990s. Born in Buffalo, NY, McKnight is the brother of Take 6 founder Claude McKnight, and shares their gospel and jazz influences, even though he's assimilated these into a more overtly commercial style. Over the years, McKnight garnered Grammy nominations by the truckload, and has collaborated with everyone from Nelly to Kirk Franklin, scoring countless hits along the way.
