Today’s Holiday Tune: Best of Darlene Love belting out “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on Letterman

For the 28th year in a row, the great Darlene Love will pay a visit to David Letterman to perform Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).

It’s been a fabulous tradition and with Letterman retiring from the show, this year’s performance will be Darlene’s last. What a run it has been and this video captures the 2011 inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in all her glory throughout the decades.

Love has said she will retire the song from television after Letterman retires. In the Oscar-winning documentary 20 Feet from Stardom, Love credits Letterman and this holiday tradition for helping to restart her singing career.

She told Billboard: “This would be my 28th year in a row. They never told me not to, but it was an unspoken thing. They couldn’t ask me not to sing ‘Christmas (Baby)’ on another show, but after 10 years, then 15 years, of doing this one song on this one show, I felt I had an obligation to be true to them.”

One Remark

  1. I’ve been thinking about this since he announced his retirement. I don’t watch the show as often these days but I NEVER miss her performance. She will be missed each and every holiday going forward.
