We are sticking with yesterday's Mojo Festive Fifteen compilation and pictures of Elves today with three rather splendid soul offerings.
Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings has been about for a while but makes it's first album appearance (I think) on their recent It's a Holiday Soul Party.
Sharon is followed by Joe Tex in is inimitable style advocating that a woman is not just for Christmas.
Finally Irma Thomas shows of her Gospel roots with a magnificent version of Oh Holy Night
Sharon Jones & the Dap- Kings - Ain't No Chimneys in the Projects
Joe Tex - I'll Make Every Day Christmas
Irma Thomas - Oh Holy Night
I'm not sure I'll hear a better song today than Joe Tex's I'll Make Every Day Christmas. Unless I decide to play Buying A Book. The link to Irma Thomas gives the Joe Tex song. Not that I'm complaining.

DeleteI think The Dominoes' version is superior:

(a post Clyde McPhatter Dominoes). And THAT is the best song I've heard so far today.
CC, You have chosen three very good songs from a nice compilation. I like the Sufjan Stevens and Superchunk tracks too.
ReplyDeleteStay tuned for Sufjan Brian!
