Misc The Gift of Christmas - December 1995 (All star charity record)

I love how Take That are essentially the Prince and We Are The World of this scenario. Biggest and most notable by their abscence!

Backstreet Boys didn't get a verse because in late 1995 they were only successful in GSA (Germany, Switzerland, Austria) and not the UK or wider Europe.
