"How Wonderful You Are" is a song by English musician Gordon Haskell. It was released as a single in the Christmas period of 2001 after mass promotion by BBC Radio 2 where it became a favourite of listeners after being featured by the drive-time presenter Johnnie Walker.[3] It was the UK Christmas number-two in 2001 behind Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman's cover of "Somethin' Stupid". The song is the most requested song of all time at Radio 2.[4]
The song was covered in Finnish by Kirka for his album Sinut Siinä Nään in 2002.[5] A mix version was released by Larry Peace in 2017.[6] Haskell re-recorded the song in a samba version for his 2020 album The Cat Who's Got the Cream, featuring jazz trumpeter Guy Barker.[7]
