Performer: Various Artists
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: Performers include: The Jackson Five, Al Green, The Whispers, Diana Ross, Lou Rawls, The Drifters, Luther Vandross, Isaac Hayes, The Temptations. Contains 20 tracks. Christmas songs for every situation or predicament. If celebrating solo, avoid "Alone on New Year's Eve," "What Do the Lonely Do at Christmas," and "Who Took The Merry Out of Christmas," by the Manhattans, the Emotions, and the Staple Singers', respectively, as they don't uplift the spirits and might take you over the edge. But Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas," Jerry Butler's two selections -- "Silent Night" and "O Holy Night" -- among others, are good traditional holiday offerings. The 19 tracks include the O'Jays' contemporary "Christmas Just Ain't Christmas," the Temprees' "It's Christmas Time Again," and two from Patti LaBelle & the Bluebells. ~ Andrew Hamilton Soulful Christmas is just that, a superb collection of seasonal favorites treated to lively and hearfelt renditions by some of the most legendary names in R&B. Highlights include Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas," Otis Redding's "White Christmas," Isaac Hayes' "The Mistletoe and Me," Jerry Butler's "O Holy Night" and the Staple Singers' "Who Took the Merry Out of Christmas." ~ Marvin Jolly Soulful Christmas: WDAS 105.3 FM Philadelphia is a collection of popular R&B artists performing several holiday standards. Quality artists, such as the Jackson Five, Otis Redding, the Temptations, Isaac Hayes, Diana Ross, and many classic artists in the genre are featured here. Any fan of this period of R&B should try to give this a listen; many of these songs hit the airwaves around the holidays, and it is nice that they are all available on one album. ~ Bradley Torreano
