Brenda Pierce Kaye - Gift Wrapped - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A talented gospel and R&B songwriter and vocalist based in Long Beach, California, Brenda Kaye Pierce has performed or written with Jermaine Jackson, Harvey Mason of Four Play, Wayne Henderson of The Crusaders, Ray Parker, Paul Jackson Jr., Vanessa Williams, El Debarge and many others as well as being a songwriter and vocalist for 10 episodes of The Real Ghostbuster's cartoon on national TV. In 2009, with the help of the legendary producer Swamp Dogg, Brenda recorded “Gift Wrapped,” a full length Christmas album filled with classic traditional holiday tunes as well as the self penned “Glory B 2 God” and Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas.” All selections have been newly remastered.

There is some debate as to whether this 1956 from Hollywood Records was the first LP to compile Christmas music singles. But there is no debate that it's one of the best. Subtitled 'Intimate Christmas Music for Young Lovers,' it's headliners were the original versions of two of the biggest R&B holiday hits of all time, Charles Brown's 'Merry Christmas, Baby' and Lowell Fulson's 'Lonesome Christmas (Parts 1 & 2),' but with other standouts like Mabel Scott's 'Boogie Woogie Santa Claus' (also a chartmaker), Jimmy Witherspoon's 'Christmas Blues' (formerly entitled 'How I Hate to See Xmas Come Around'), and a quartet of tunes from Johnny Moore's Blazers, there is not a weak track on the album. Bill Dahl's detailed notes and artist photos round out this first-ever CD reissue. And with a new remastering by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision, never have the Christmas blues sounded so good!
