Another great Doo Wop

 

Great Doo Wop

 

"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"--(1963) written by Elle Greenwich, Jeff Barry and Phil Spector and recorded with the unmistakable Wall of Sound touch of Phil Spector. Cher was often a background singer and may have been on this tune originally as would Leon Russell on the piano, Sonny Bono, percussion, Nino Tempo, guitar,and Hal Blaine on drums. But, here is Darlene on the Lettermen show in 2014 singing the same song. She in the female answer to the voice of Roy Orbison.

 

Frosty the Snowman--The Ronettes (1963) produced by none other than Phil Spector who is still serving time for murder.

 

Video unavailable.

 

It is there. Once the first screen comes up, click on the U tube link.

Was going to post on Wild Bill's thread but it's gone...

 

Sleigh Ride--Ronettes (1963) From Phil Spector's 1963 Christmas Album.

 

Poor video quality, but one of my favorite songs of all time.
An interesting note (at least to me): Notice that they are called "The Mercy" not simply 'Mercy'
A BETTER Audio, but just a single still.
