Every year, I try to add a few tracks to my expansive holiday playlist. (Yes, "holiday" - it's not all Christmas.) The best of the lot from last year is, hands down, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings doing "White Christmas".
Alas, she died a couple of weeks ago, so there'll be no more rollicking covers of the standards or deliciously subversive additions to the canon (like Big Bulbs).
Do yourself two favors:
1) Cue up It's a Holiday Soul Party, and
2) Check out the sad and lovely slideshow of photos of Sharon Jones's last year.

I just started a J's Christmas Favs on Spotify, and added this. I saw her in concert with Hall and Oates this summer...she was amazing!
I'll be following along with your song list :-) If you have any others you absolutely love, msg me on FB and let me know!
