This Is The Time is an album by Michael Bolton, released on October 1, 1996. It contains two new songs: "This Is The Time", and "Love Is the Power" (performed with Wynonna Judd), while the others were covers of traditional Christmas songs. "Ave Maria" was performed with opera great Plácido Domingo. "White Christmas" was a single off the album Timeless: The Classics, but was also included on this album. The CD was an "enhanced" CD containing additional material viewable on a computer, including a video of "White Christmas", a discography, and a preview of a Bolton CD-ROM which was never released.
The album was released during Christmas time, narrowly missing the top 10 hitting #11. Total sales of the album have reached one million copies in the US (Platinum status). The album also proved to be a worldwide hit, selling almost 2.5 million units.
