THE BEST version ever

Oh yeah,their version is heavenly

I think I need to add that to my collection this year.

Yeah,I went crazy when I saw it yesterday.It's gonna be my holiday soundtrack for the next month or so.

That's a good choice. I might be a copy cat and pick it up myself. Wasn't feeling that new Harry Connick.

JackieBlue said:

You should.I got it at Wal-Mart.They have all their Christmas CDs out.



Did you buy that one? It wasn't very good?

That looks likke a nice CD. I may have to get one as well. Have to give my Alexander O'Neil a break.

Kill yourself.

Those are some great CDs! Wow!

Really cool.

Not sure what the situation with Christmas music stations are in your areas but here in Detroit, one of the two big AC stations (WNIC) turns into a 24-7 Christmas station (not sure if they even have DJs working at the time!) and play the usual Christmas songs with a smattering of some recent Christmas tunes. On Sirius XM (which I'm having issues with lately) they turn one station into that kind of channel. I haven't listened to the new Sirius XM version but I remember the Sirius version didn't have a lot of imagination or variety and was pretty close to the one in Detroit. Anyway, its really nice to see these collections since many R&B artists tend to record Christmas albums yet they are under represented on radio!

I have the O Jays Christmas CD and played it just a few hours ago. Really good. The first song (an original titled "I Can Hardly Wait Til Christmas") should be a modern classic.

Man, fuck a slow jam for the holidays. Christmas is supposed to be poppin'


AYO!

Thats plaaaaayed out!

Thats one of my FAVE x-mas joints ever

I played this CD over the weekend and there's only one minor problem with it...

The version of "Silent Night" by the Temptations is NOT the version I was looking for

The Temptations recorded two Christmas albums,one in 1970 and one in 1980,if I'm not mistaken.Both albums feature "Silent Night",but it's the 1980 recording that I prefer.Y'all know that version.....it's a very lengthy version,slow and soulful the version on this CD is from the earlier album and it's decent,but not nearly as good.

Oh well...

Cinnie said:

Now that is pure rap and Kurtis was the originator, the Breaks and this song are like the two most classic raps ever recorded. Who'd a thought all this gangsta bling bling crap would stream out of it.

Thanks for uploading these

Oh hell yeah. We used to do some Christmas ass shakin' to that one.

The version you want is on "Slow Jams Christmas" which I posted. I had previously bought a Motown Christmas CD which contained the version on your CD and I was pissed. That earlier version sounds "traditional" and you know Andy don't like nothing traditional.
