"Makes a great companion CD to Soul Christmas(on the Atco label) & belongs on your cd player this holiday season. I've worn out the cassette version of this & recently purchased it on cd. Along with old favorites such as Christmas Ain't Christmas by the O'Jays, This Christmas by Donny Hathaway & What Are You Doing New Year's Eve by Nancy Wilson you will find Winter Wonderland by Patti LaBelle & The Bluebells, Who Took The Merry Out Of Christmas by the Staple Singers & Alone On New Year's Eve by The Manhattans, among others. One listen to this collection definitely gets you in the Christmas spirit. Highly recommended."

Not as advertised

"Although this CD has some nice christmas oldies, it did not have several of the songs listed on the jacket. There is no Patti Labelle, Jerry Butler or Baby Washington on the recording. Instead, these selections (6 in all) have been replaced by various Motown selections, mostly mediocre, by the Jackson 5, Diana Ross and the Temptations. Whatever the reason, the cover needs to be corrected. If that's not what you're expecting, fine. My main reason for purchasing the CD was to get those very old gems. Otherwise, the CD's sound quality is fine and the selections are as listed."

Different CD than listed

"Several of the tracks are not what is listed. I bought this for The Drifters singing "White Christmas." Luckily that particular track is correct, so I'm OK with the CD because I just happen to like all the other songs too. But if you are looking for a particular track, like I was, then chances are very good that it might not be there.
