O Holy night – Patti Labelle (Patricia Hoyte along with three others became Patti Labelle & The Bluebelles – one became a Supreme as in Diana Ross and The – … then came Labelle as a trio … Patti went solo via Epic, Philadelphia International & MCA Records … this was released on MCA)
Christmas Medley – Salsoul Orchestra (I had already had a few singles by this group – then in November/December of ’76 – i heard this and Vince Montana and the Salsoul Orchestra became my all time favourite)
Soulful Christmas – James Brown (More Funky than Soulful – this is from second of three Christmas lps – even though they were not 100% Christmas lps)
Joy to the world – Mariah Carey (this is from her Merry Christmas cd/lp released in 94 …. remixed by David Morales this is one of Mariah rarer cd singles)
here is a bonus for New Year’s Eve or Old Year’s Night to some
New Year’s Medley – Salsoul Orchestra (both Salsoul trax were culled from the Christmas Jollies lp – recorded at Sigma Sound Studios with the usual suspects)
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR …. see you around 6th January – which will be our first anniversary
