Johnny Mathis - When A Child Is Born (Soleado)

'When a Child is Born' is a popular Christmas song. The original melody was 'Soleado', a tune from 1972 by Ciro Dammicco (alias Zacar), composer for Italy's Daniel Santecruz Ensemble.

The English language lyrics were written a few years later by Fred Jay. They do not make specific mention of Christmas but the importance they attach to looking forward to the birth of one particular child somewhere, anywhere, suggests a reference to the birth of Jesus Christ, and the citing of "a tiny star" that "lights up way up high" may allude to the Star of Bethlehem. Fred Jay's lyrics have been sung by many artists over the years.

Johnny Mathis released his version of the song in 1976. Reaching number 1 in the IK Singles Charts Mathis version of the song has proved to be the most successfull.
