Ultimate Christmas songlist I was just wondering what song could make the "ultimate Christmas songlist". I am particularly intewrested in R&B and neo soul acts, although funk is also welcome. So, what are your propositions? We Can Funk | |

I would like to name the Phil Spector Xmas Album called A Christmas Gift To You.
Love that album! | |

Donna Summer-O Holy Night
She released an awesome Christmas album, which can be found in bargin bins and while it's down mostly in a tradational manne (sorry, no disco) "O Holy Night" has a gospel choir that makes it sound like Jesus is coming back! Her vocals are amazing, too. | |

It's too slow,too mellow,too BORING.Considering that Donna is a dance music queen,she really should have let loose on this album,have some fun,and record some exciting uptempo disco Christmas songs! It would have been an interesting concept,dontcha think? | |

Only R&B, soul & funk??? Rats. There is one funky Christmas song I like: "Our First Christmas" by Alexander O'Neal. It's the only reason I still have his 'My Gift To You' CD. | |

It would have been an interesting concept,dontcha think? Are you familar with Donna-Tribute.com and Cathy? She's like a super fan and that's her favorite album. She'd be pissed! I didn't get into at first eihter but that song is amazing! If you have the album, give it another spin. I was also surprised that it was such a mellow album but I've heard at the time she was seriously considering doing country music (under a deal with that label, Mercury, which she also released "Endless Summer" for). | |
