I know that people, including Christmas enjoyers like me, get tired of hearing the same songs over and over during this season. This is where I introduce to you all 1973's A Motown Christmas, a compilation of original, reworked and re-arranged songs recorded in 1967-73 by Motown's classic all-Black lineup including The Temptations, J5, Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes and more. I'll share a few examples of absolute favorites that many people probably don't know because they don't get played as often!

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

Stevie Wonder - One Little Christmas Tree

Jackson 5 - Give Love On Christmas Day

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles - Deck The Halls / Bring A Torch, Jeannette, Isabella

Michael Jackson - Little Christmas Tree

As for some songs that people may already know:

Diana Ross & The Supremes - My Favorite Things

The Temptations - Rudolph

Jackson 5 - Up On The Housetop

“The Beatles were the first white act of any stature that I ever saw in my life who came out and said, ‘Hey, man, we grew up listening to Black music and we love it, and we got a lot of our feeling from Black music.’ No white act had ever said that before, come out in public or in the press and said anything like that.“ - Smokey Robinson, Beatles Stories: A Fab Four Fan’s Ultimate Road Trip

“George, I had the pleasure of spending more time with him than any of the other guys. I just met the other guys briefly. George, for a time, was living in Los Angeles [with Olivia, in 1975], and I had the pleasure of being in his company a few times. We got to know each other kind of well. That was a wonderful, flattering thing for him to feel like that, and to write about it, so that the world could know that he felt like that. It was wonderful to me, and I’m very flattered by that.” - Smokey Robinson, Hazy Rock interview, Something Else!, December 2014

“We used to sit around singing a lot of Smokey Robinson songs. That kind of sealed our relationship, I think. [George] said, ‘You’re the only person I’ve ever known who sang the high note at the end of “I’ll Try Something New.”’ We went to see Smokey at The Roxy one night and they talked. Smokey was really flattered.” - Olivia Harrison, Extra Texture 2014 remaster liner notes

“[Smokey], for my taste, is one of the most consistent, he’s written so many fantastic tunes, and although I’m not anywhere in his league as a singer, this song always reminds me of that Smokey type of mood. So I dedicate the song [‘Pure Smokey’] to him.” - George Harrison, Extra Texture promotional interview, 1975

“I mean, I wrote ‘Pure Smokey’ on 33 1/3 as my little tribute to his brilliant songwriting and his effortless butterfly of a voice.” - George Harrison, Musician, November 1987 (x)
