 (2 Customer Reviews)
In the world of Motown, no proverbial stone was left unturned and no market untapped. This especially rang true during the holiday season, as yearly the label would flood the record store shelves with holiday records from many of their most popular artists. This Temptations session leads off with their most renowned holiday classic, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Most of the other holiday standards here are easily forgettable and underwhelming. Christmas Card is not as fantastic as Give Love on Christmas Day or any of the other budget-line holiday compilations available from the Temptations, so unless you're a die-hard collector, it might be best to skip this one over. ~ Rob Theakston
The Christmas sound for the "Big Chill Generation," it includes a great rendition of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." ~ David A. Milberg

Rolling Stone magazine recently characterized LeRoy Hutson as "the best-kept secret of Seventies soul". Throughout his long and illustrious career he has graced us with a body of rich musical work: a treasure trove of sophisticated soul, mellifluous melodies and insightful lyrical poetry. All one has to do is go back and take a listen to songs like the incomparable "Lucky Fellow" or the messages contained in the tone poem "I Can’t Stay Away." recall and reflect the romantic and sensual sensibilities of songs like "In The Mood" and "Love To Hold You Close" and you the listener will be whisked away to witness the full degree of an individual full of undeniable talent and musical passion.An accomplished keyboardist and arranger, Hutson has a soulful tenor voice that is both pure and crystal clear. His love for rhythmic underpinnings and plush orchestral strings are more than apparent, taking us all back to a time when music was oh so lush and so real!A native of Newark, New Jersey, two of Lee’s closest confidantes were singer-songwriters Curtis Mayfield and the incomparable Donny Hathaway. He met both gentlemen while a student at Washington’s D.C.’s prestigious Howard University, a period of time for Hutson that would be a turning point in his life both socially and professionally. On campus at any given time one could find Roberta Flack, Herbie Hancock, Donnie Hathaway, saxophonist Tyrone Washington, Phylicia Rashad, Debbie Allen or any number of talented musicians and artists."My decision to go away to college turned out to be the single most important thing I have ever done in my life," reflects Hutson. "It colored everything else that’s happened to me from that day to this. Initially, I didn’t enter college with music in mind. I originally wanted to become a dentist, but made the decision to change my major, and eventually received a special talent scholarship to enroll in the School of Music. "College was a most incredible time and a most incredible experience."It was during this collegiate experience that Hutson and Hathaway, who were roommates for a while, co-wrote the socio-political musical gem titled "The Ghetto." The song went on to become a signature hit for Hathaway and continues to be in recurrent rotation on radio stations around the world.In the seventies, an opportunity of a lifetime occurred when Hathaway recommended that Hutson replace Curtis Mayfield who happened to be leaving the renowned vocal group The Impressions. Lee was no stranger to being in singing groups since he was a member of the four-man vocal group the Nu-Tones while a teen in Newark, one-half of a duo called Sugar & Spice, and along with Donny Hathaway a member of The Mayfield Singers—a group put together on the Howard campus by Curtis Mayfield."I used to listen to the Impressions with awe like everyone else during that period. Their harmonies were just so unique. I was always fascinated with great harmonies, and the idea that I would be taking Curtis’ place was overwhelming. It wasn’t like I was fearful or anything, but ...
