Donny Hathaway - This Christmas

This song has become a beloved holiday classic and would be covered by many since his passing.

NOTE: Just post covers of This Christmas and nothing else

I would favor a constitutional amendment banning cover versions of this song, because like Stevie's "What Christmas Means To Me," it is a perfect Christmas original.

There's a strong argument for banning some versions of Christmas favourites even in cases where no perfect original exists.



See also my long-fought battle to ban the festive works of Cliff Richard. And indeed the non-festive works of Cliff Richard. And indeed Cliff Richard altogether. banned

But, yeah, he also puts in a guest turn on Lamont Dozier's latest album, which is not too offensive to the senses. Maybe my standards are slipping. hmmm

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
