Part three of a series of records that benefits the Special Olympics, A Very Special Christmas 3 from 1997 is as excitingly eclectic as its predecessors. Though it features the likes of R&B chart toppers and hip-hoppers Mase, Puff Daddy, and Snoop Doggy Dogg and alt-rockers No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, Blues Traveler, and others, the real standout performances belong to Jonny Lang, with his bawdy, bar room version of 'Santa Claus Is Back in Town" and Sting, who delivers a proper reading of that old English carol 'I Saw Three Ships'. The showstopper, though, is Natalie Merchant's 'Children, Go Where I Send Thee" in an arrangement so rich and compelling it may top even the many five-star versions of this African-American hymn that have come before it.
