Christmas Baby (Please Come Home) ~ Darlene Love (Philles 4005) 1963
From Sir Shamblin's Soulful ChristmasSure, you’ve heard it a million times, but listen to it with fresh ears. It’s brilliant! And it comes from the greatest Christmas LP of all time (and, reputedly, Beach Boy Brian Wilson’s favourite record). Darlene Love was one of the greatest Soul singers of the 1960s, with a voice powerful enough to outshine the elaborate “Wall of Sound” that Phil Spector built behind her, and this is one of her finest moments. Nowadays we must be content to with the very rare recording and the odd glimpse of her playing Danny Glover’s “wife” in the Lethal Weapon movies. Darlene Love, it’s Christmas, please come home!
