“CHRISTMAS TIME’S A COMIN" - BY THE CAST & FRIENDS OF “IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT”
Posted on October 13, 2019
Producers Randall Franks and Alan Autry are pleased to announce the re-release of this Christmas classic by the cast and special friends of the award-winning TV show “In The Heat of the Night”.
Franks and Autry joined forces under the banner of Autry-Franks Productions in 1990 to produce the charity “In the Heat of the Night” CD "Christmas Time's A Comin'" including the sounds of bluegrass, jazz, rhythm and blues, Cajun, country and pop.
“This is an amazing reflection on history and the many entertainment legends that came together and focused their talent and fame for this very worthy cause, drug abuse prevention," said Lynda Weingartz, CEO - AirPlay Direct. "In this day and time, the world could use more collaborations of this nature.”
