Darlene Love has performed “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on David Letterman’s last episode before Christmas every year since 1986, except once in 2007 due to the Writer's strike. She once again was on this year as well appearing on Friday, December 23.
Love’s version of the Barry-Greenwich (Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich) and Phil Spector-penned “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” debuted as one of thirteen tracks on A Christmas Gift for You from Philles Records. The album was released November 23, 1963.
The album became a classic, re-issued almost a decade later as A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector. In addition to topping seasonal best-of and top-seller lists, the album consistently lands in the top tier of critical countdowns, like Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, in which it claimed the impressive no. 142 slot.
Darlene Love was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame earlier this year.
