This sensational compilation of early ’60s Christmas soul-R&B classics (some of which appear on LP for the first time) will definitely make your season extra merry and bright. Featuring such supreme talents as Smokey Robinson’s Miracles, Hank Ballard’s Midnighters and the blues’ crown prince of Christmas songs, Charles Brown, it’s an elegantly funky musical affair from start to finish. With plenty of soul’s most formidable sisters represented, the incomparable Darlene Love, fabulous ‘girl groups’ the Ronettes, Shirelles and Crystals, famed Memphis soul siren Carla Thomas, and a young Patti LaBelle’s stunning “Silent Night,” the album reaches an even more engaging, emotional height. With some beautiful gospel songs by the Staple Singers and Swan Silvertones lending significant spiritual impact, this is a solid set of non-stop good tidings.
