A new Christmas song, recently released to radio, features a well-known Branson entertainer.
Sue Ann O'Neal Clark and Mary Fay Jackson, both award-winning vocalists and recording artists, teamed up to write and record "Christmas is Forever," for Millennium Music Group's Christmas Compilations on AirPlay Direct.
The touching holiday song got its start on a hot summer day when Jackson, of Gainesville, Texas, was visiting O'Neal Clark, who lives in the Ozarks. The two were standing in the shade, waiting on a tow truck due when the inspiration struck.
Said Sue Ann, "It was an almost unbearable, sweltering day and Mary, not paying attention to the heat, says 'Christmas is Forever.' I said, 'What are you talking about? It is 105 degrees!' Mary then told me about her idea for the song that 'Christmas is Forever' because Jesus' love is forever."
O'Neal Clark and Jackson worked on the song, finishing the lyrics that same day, and collaborated by phone on the production. The holiday song was recorded at McClain Studio near Dallas, Texas.
Sue Ann O'Neal Clark is well-known in the Branson area. A long-time cast member of Presleys’ Jubilee, she also performed with Branson's Hee-Haw show and Celebrate Sunday with Sue Ann at the IMAX. In recent years, Sue Ann has traveled extensively, sharing a message in music at churches throughout the country.
Mary Fay Jackson, a television and video producer, is the host of Texas Country Gospel, which airs on numerous TV and cable networks.
"I am so excited about the song that I am a part of with Mary Fay Jackson that has been released to radio for this Christmas season," said Sue Ann. "The lyrics say, 'It's not a memory from the past, but a season that will last.' Christmas is Forever!"
