My favorite Christmas song by Darlene Love.

My favorite Christmas song. Darlene always puts her heart out when singing.

Phil Spector was genius with his "wall of sound".

This was the only time I watched Letterman every year, when Darlene was on performing Christmas(Baby please come home)

For me it’s “White Christmas” With Bing singing it.

The PS Wall of sound technique is awesome. Love it. Very hard to do well and get a ‘wall of sound’ that works, rather than audio mud.

But Bob Rivers has some cool Christmas tunes too ;(

My fave modern remake Christmas song -

The Decembermen’s version of “I Heard the bells on Christmas Day.”

Amazing! What a voice on her.

I give credit to Paul Shafer who obviously loves Darlene and to Letterman who over the years made her performance the highlight of his Christmas broadcast. Watch her first appearance back in 1986 with Shafer's much smaller band--Darlene's vocals more than make up for any deficiencies.

My favorite is Blackmore's Night : Christmas Eve

Another version with an anachronistic quality to it Blackmore's Night : Christmas Eve
