I think her Christmas song will stand the test of time... that song is already a classic to me. She always seemed to me to be a very hard worker. She put out album after album and wrote most of her stuff. I think if she would have had the same success without her husband being the head of the record company, she would be given more credit. Whitney and Celine did not write there own stuff. At least she did. Plus, she didn't have the stability they had growning up. I think she had a lot of family turmoil.
