Summary
There is some debate as to whether this 1956 release from Hollywood Records was the first LP to compile Christmas music singles. But there is no debate that it's one of the best. Subtitled Intimate Christmas Music for Young Lovers, its headliners were the original versions of two of the biggest R & B holiday hits of all time, Charles Brown's Merry Christmas, Baby and Lowell Fulson's Lonesome Christmas (Parts 1 & 2), but with other standouts like Mabel Scott's Boogie Woogie Santa Claus (also a chartmaker), Jimmy Witherspoon's Christmas Blues (formerly entitled How I Hate to See Xmas Come Around), and a quartet of tunes from Johnny Moore's Blazers, there is not a weak track on the album
