Darlene Love was a member of 60's girl group 'The Blossoms' but became more known for her work with legendary producer Phil Spector, whether it was with The Blossoms or session back-up vocals or even uncredited lead vocals on singles such as The Crystals, "He's A Rebel". "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" was a credited solo Darlene Love song from the album 'A Christmas Gift for You from Philles Records' which was later released as 'A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector'. The album is still regarded as the greatest Christmas album by many music critics. Expectations were high for the album to be huge, however, that all changed when it was released on the same day as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963.
Spector's distinctive 'Wall of Sound' production is part of the appeal here. Merry Christmas.
