29-R&B Christmas

Next up, a sweet little collection of Christmas tunes that lean more towards the R&B side of music. I know that's a bit of a hard-to-define term, but I think you'll agree that most of these selections are a little smoother or funkier than the other shares this season.  It's a great selection of stuff, even if it's a little thin.  Records of this style seem to be a little rarer than your average Perry Como record, so even the huge collection at The Internet Archive is a bit lacking in wide selection.  But it's all good music, and I'm sure you'll enjoy them.  Have a listen and see!
