Comment:

The crisp drum kicks, rolling piano keys, and intersecting rap and R&B vocals of the Stevie Wonder/Wyclef Jean duet "Merry Christmas Baby" epitomize what this Christmas playlist is all about: connecting the dots between the timeless soul, funk, and gospel-schooled holiday tracks of yesterday and today. That means everything from the sorrowful Dirty South bounce of David Banner (the straight-from-the-streets struggle of "The Christmas Song") to the elegant Motown harmonies of Marvin Gaye (the warm, inviting "Purple Snowflakes"), which are rounded out by the smooth R&B grooves of Isaac Hayes, the Isley Brothers, Luther Vandross, and Smokey Robinson.
