I have an ever growing Black artists only (and George Michael) playlist for this very reason. I stack it with newer Black Christmas songs. Preserving warm black celebratory history is impossible. And also the old Black Christmas music had real musicality and beautiful vocals!

Thank you Kim. Been having the Christmas blues and haven't listened to a single song all season. The grief for my mom always intensifies this time of year. Thanks for this ♥️

My favorite song you have played is ‘Silent Night by The Temptations.’ I remember listening to it for the first time as a kid and imagining someone pulling up in a new car with a big bow on it, blasting this song. I need to make it happen soon. Thanks for the great classic Christmas throwbacks, Kim <33

Kim- I love this! You have a fine ear for music and as a millennial, your pop culture references and tastes are spot on. Wishing you and your loved ones a warm holiday(s). Hoping to join you one day in Texas at one of your events. Much love from California <33

My favorite song from part one is “This Christmas” by Donnie Hathaway. “Warm” is the perfect descriptor ❤️ Happy holidays black folk!!! ✨
