Another contribution to the Christmas music basket: Charles Brown

Posted about 1 year ago
So many great seasonal songs from MOGgers this year, as Deadman has rightly pointed out. A little surprised that no one has posted this one yet. But to me, Christmas isn't quite Christmas until I've heard it at least once.

    mickimicki says Wow! Heard Elvis' version yesterday, but this one isn't one bad at all, either...

    ivylander says Micki, I'm pretty sure this is the original version - Elvis, as usual, steals from the best....

    dharmachris says Now in the dc household, this is the version (and album) that signifies Christmas is now fully in session. I'm still thinking Mr. Charles Brown is the originator. and will now seek that one out, cos it is just as smooth and nice. But for now, the Ramsey Lewis Trio:

    Bartleby says It's a pity you're not in charge of Christmas music in the shopping centres and the shops on Oxford Street. I was on shopping duty today. I could have done with that track. PS: "I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree" can mean so many things. This cheeky monkey here will not say more.

    ivylander says Chris, that Ramsey Lewis starts out so mellow it's almost post-coital, then he begins to sound like he's gearing up for round two. Which isn't, now that I think of it, all that different from Charles Brown's intentions...

    Lady Miss Ian says Cool and smooth, Ivy. Like a egg nog, with a little extra spice on top. ;-) [Make mine dairy-free]. Thanks for the continuing MOG effort to uplift the xmas soundtrack. Happy Christmas.

    ivylander says LMI, I don't get the sense that Charles is lactose-intolerant, but he's probably not averse to a little extra nutmeg. A joyous holiday to you as well. Micki, there is little to add but: Amen.
