Christmas Music: Darlene Love

In 1963 Phil Spector, back when he was known for being a genius record producer and not a murder suspect, put together a Christmas album that is one of the landmark Holiday albums of all time, A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector. One of the main singers on the album was Darlene Love. Ms. Love was the singer for such gems as "He's A Rebel" credited to the Crystals and she was the lead singer for the group Bobbie Sox and the Blue Jeans. Starting in 1986 Darlene Love has sung this song on the last new show of The David Letterman show before he breaks for the Christmas season. This version she has the USAF singing with her.

That's a great tradition. I'm not a Letterman fan but every few years I come across these performances when I'm flipping channels.
