NASHVILLE, Tenn. (December 7, 2016) – The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. announced the launch of a partnership with American Idol alum and BMG recording artist Danny Gokey. Gokey’s exclusive recording of the classic “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” serves as the Bon-Ton Stores’ signature song for the 2016 holiday television campaign. The song will also be a bonus track on Gokey’s award winning holiday CD “Christmas is Here” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Holiday Album chart last year. The CD with bonus track is available exclusively at Bon-Ton Stores. For every CD purchased, one dollar of the proceeds will benefit Sophia’s Heart, a non-profit organization which Gokey founded in honor of his late wife to serve at-risk children and families.

This is also the season of giving and I’m grateful to the Bon-Ton Stores for helping Sophia’s Heart change lives and restore hope for hundreds of kids and families.”
Gokey’s CD will be available at most stores and online for $11.98 December 1 through December 24.  To learn more visit bonton.com/gokey starting December 1. Gokey is gearing up for the January release of his latest album RISE.
