The Seventh Song of Christmas

Some of the best Christmas music is soul music. And this little gemstone by gospel soulsters The Staple Singers (song was originally performed by Deanie Parker, but whatevs) will melt any icicles you got hanging off your heart this holiday. Of course, if you listen to the lyrics, it's about putting the MARY back in Christmas, which in turn, brings the "merry." Great soulful gospel number for your Christmas tunes. You might also know one of the Staples from cranking out that awesome theme song from the movie Christmas Vacation--Mavis Staples.

Clark: Tis the season to be Merry.
Mary: "Well, that's my name!"
