I have lots of favorite Christmas songs, but this is right near the top. Way back in the 20th Century, it seemed like all of the Holiday songs were done by crooners or jazz singers (with a couple of exceptions of course) but none of the bands i liked at that time were doing them. Then, along came “A Very Special Christmas” a CD full of artists doing the classics, among them Run-DMC, Sting (pre-schmaltz), Alison Moyet & U2! The album was a benefit for the Special Olympics, and was also an instant must-have. From way back in 1987, here’s U2 with the Phil Spector penned, Darlene Love classic ‘Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)’
