Day Seven – When popular soul and R&B artists of the 1960s and 1970s turned their attention to Christmas music, the result was usually delightful. Much like the artists at Motown, singers like Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and others applied their incredible talent to make these holiday tunes quite special. The Aretha tune enclosed here today is from her very first seasonal album This Christmas, released this year.
