Artist: The Crystals
LP: A Christmas Gift For You from Philles Records
Song: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"
[ listen ]
Last week a friend and I went to see the clumsy new documentary about Phil Spector, in which we learned about his life, his music, and his trial for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson. In the film, Phil mentions that he's never expected the writer of a famous Christmas song to call him up to thank him for putting their song on his Christmas record—so on behalf of Johnny Marks, who died in 1985, I'd like to thank Phil Spector for putting this terrific version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" on his Christmas record. You can read about The Crystals here.
