I also assumed it was a black singer. Now that I know the truth, I can love this song even more. It also remines me what they say about a person who assumes...lol.
I'm a big Montana fan and all these years I've always wondered who's the face behind the soothing voice of my most number one Christmas song of all time on the Salsoul Christmas album version. I played this 5 times last Saturday at gig I DJ'd at in Toronto's Royal York hotel with over 500 guests.
Pretty amazing to see this rare video. Thanks for sharing.
It was on an at least DJ-issue Salsoul 45 No. 2052 for the 1977 season, and may have been issued commercially that early too. On the other side was the Orchestra's "We Wish You A Merry Christmas." This side, with Denise's vocal however, was ALWAYS the real keeper, and I've never made a seasonal mix cassette without it. An instant classic. Like the perennials from Nat King Cole, Brenda Lee, Darlene Love and Bobby Helms, "Merry Christmas All" singlehandedly ensures Denise's musical immortality.
OMG! Love this song...Love this song....just love the words...Such a great song for the Holiday...Really puts you in the Christmas Mood. And put this song on my answering service for the last 6 year.... During the Chistmas Holiday..Love You Denise...
I love this song!! I do believe this was released on an LP called "A Salsoul Christmas", Denise is having a ball singing this, and she, Vince, and the family are loved out here on the West Coast. I've been looking for this song forever. It pops up on all the radio stations both Jazz and R&B during the season!
wow...never knew there was vid for this. denise sings ths song w/a little more soul than on the record. it's not a slight because i absolutely LOVE the record; it's been a staple in our house since i was a teen.
This always brings back memories of Christmas at home in Philly. It played on the R&B stations under SalSoul Orchestra, so we assumed it was a Black singer. Goes to show you shouldn't assume anything.
Ahh Man! This Joint is Supenaturally and Eternally Dope! Since my childhood this has been a Breezy chrismas carol and a very Jazzy one as well...Denise you are soul sister number one when it comes to this jam. Oh! This joint gives me chills everytime i listen to it. Serious hair rise....Eternally Dope is the only way to explain this Debonair song.

Wow, I never heard of Denise Montana. I have heard this on the radio, but for some reason I thought that the Supremes sang this song. I like it.
