I didn’t know that Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) was originally recorded by Darlene Love much less that it’s an oldie (release date Nov. 1963). I made this discovery while looking for tunes to share this holiday season.
SecondHandSongs lists more than 100 covers of Miss Love’s vintage hit. I’m not sure which artist cover I know best. The truth is classic Christmas mewsic is my preference but in recent years I’ve come to enjoy the contemporary holiday songs to spice up my listening pleasure during the season.
In today’s battle of the sexes, I picked two groups with a throw-back vibe from yesteryear. For the ladies, I’m using the new-to-me band, Good Lovelies. You have to love that name! In fact, it was the group’s name that caught my attention.
Although I notice the next band on the SHS list, I didn’t click on their verison. It was while at YouTube listening to another rendition that I spotted their video preview which caught my eye and interest to listen. Check out Band #2, Human Nature!

This week, DH & I are enjoying some vacation time at home. I’ll do my best to pop in on y’all sporadically during our R&R period. Meanwhile, grab your coffee cup and head over to visit Stacy for Random Tuesday Thoughts and Happy Tuesday with Sandee. My posts are scheduled as you probably assumed.
