[Bigbri3164]

This song will always bring back fond memories of my Navy days stationed in Pensacola, FL in 1988. That was a fun holiday season. I miss those days

Sounds like Lisa Keith in the background.Remember her voice from Herb Alpert's hit single from 1987, "Making Love in the Rain".

[solesirching73]

@xenosavant11 Yes you right - it was Lisa Keith singing backup - I used to own the album on cassette

[VallyVally2508]

Very old memories always good to listen too!!!! Great voice!

[msjleah2006]

Absolutely love this song!!! It always gets me in the Christmas spirit!!!

[moororless1]

This is right up there with Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas" and James Brown's "Santa Claus, Go Straight To The Ghetto" as the greatest of R&B Christmas tunes.  For me, Christmas holidays don't begin until I hear this tune. Since I haven't been listening to the only R&B station we have here in Houston (Majic 102) lately, I just had to find it here. Thanks Vinny!!!

[BlossomBramble9]

I love his voice, such a warm cheerful song!

[Jiltedin2007]

I could listen to this song in July, just as much as I would in December! THIS SONG IS THAT GOOD!

[qmitch2]

One of the best original Christmas songs of all time, & also from one of the most underrated singers of all time !!!

[da12641]

It's that time again! Time for R&B Christmas classic.

[deaconwillful]

Where is He now and what is he doing. He is one of my all-time favorite artist!

[ginoxl2]

@deaconwillful I heard he lives in England, still performing...

[deaconwillful]

@ginoxl2 Thanks for the info. I saw it on an interview. I wonder why he moved to England. Thanks Again sorry so late on the reply back.

[jhenry2727]

They dont make music like this anymore. Alex Oneal. . Still the man!

[KlangARTen]

you want to know, how christmas sounds? listen to this cd - like I do - since 1988

[Professorblu]

Alexander's 1988 album is one of the best christmas albums ever!!!!

[Juillet14]

@Professorblu

For me it is the best christmas album, very different from other singers' christmas album. I love it!!!!

[QuietStormMan]

@Juillet14 I second the motion....this tops most of the christmas albums from pop/ r&b artists yesterday and today. Sheer genius from Flyte Tyme productions.

[Xozona]

I know! they play it my work! I think it's better than any other 80s christmas song :)

[Sybenett]

My dogg the original singer for Flyte Time (The Time) eviscerated from the group for sounding too black, can you believe that??? Our people, revered in the United Kingdome where he now resides. The All True Man himself Alexander O'Neal still kicking it baby.

[Debtlo413]

I 2 LOVE THIS SONG!

[Jiltedin2007]

I love this song so much I could listen to it in July just as much as I would in December. At times, this song gives me chills inside when I am listening to it.

[chellnrell]

This is a very nice Christmas CD. Real music. I have always had the cassett but i had to upgrade and order the CD from borders!!!!!!!! Play it all year long. LOL

[humantorch50]

It's not Christmas till this plays on the radio!

[ashcrombie7]

One of the best Christmas Songs ever!!!!

[Professorblu]

[nykel007]

this is music, when music was music!!!!!!

[Sybenett]

Ya Know, Alex Kidd.

Sy-

[MzIndependent012]

this mii song even tho its a christmas song...

[jungle1969]

I've got to agree with all posts Alex was and still is "The man" I saw him in Belfast a few years ago, he still has a tremendous voice. This is one of his best tracks!! Thanx Vinny for postin it.

[24Saskia]

Thank you so much for posting this.I love it...

Such a great voice..Wow

[GfunkEror7]

Jam, Lewis and Alex the perfect combination.

An Absolute classic you'll never get tired of no matter what time of year and no matter how many times you listen to it.

Respect to Vinnywhufc for posting this.

[Sybenett]

Ya, know, Jam, Lewis, Alex for life baby, we need to get over the nonsense and get everyone (The Time) back together, get these no dressing rap artists out of here, get some borthers who are musicians who can play instruments and where some clothes.

Sy-

[caliigyrl47]

MY SONG=)LUV IT

[mommakym]

I miss this music so much, lost the tape years ago and was trying to find it everywhere....thank God for youtube. now i got some of alexander o neal back.

[bobbywinterz]

Alexander O'neal is an incredible singer. VERY UNDERRATED. I listen to Alexander O'neal everyday. This is one of my favorite songs by him. Other favorites are: A Broken Heart Can Mend, Innocent(Alex9000), Criticize, You Were Ment To Be My Lady(Not My Girl), What Can I Say To Make You Love Me, Hearsay, My Gift To You, All True Man, Never Knew Like This.... SHIT, ALL OF THEM!!!

[Scipio2724]

@bobbywinterz VERY WELL SAID MY FRIEND, :))))

[mrmahcus]

@bobbywinterz I cant beleive that U 4got 2 mention What's Missing or The Finest Remix by the (SOS Band). A lot of people dont know that it him on that song with the SOS Band. Go listen 2 it, Ull like that one 2.

[bobbywinterz]

@mrmahcus I absolutely LOVE "What's Missing" and i've always known that Alex featured on "The Finest". I only mentioned a few of my favorites.

[pimppolice1986]

nice video.. i love mr o'neal

[phatstevie2]

im bouncing in my chair at work on this jam

[QuietStormMan]

ME TOO! LOL.

[QuietStormMan]

I just love the HOOK of this song.....it's so catchy & memorable in my head. A must song to be played at anyone's christmas party....or NEW YEAR EVE'S! : )

[oldskoolgirl54]

I hear this song last X-mas...and did not know it was from Alex O'Neal.

[RFSA88]

That is the great, underrated LISA KEITH on backing vocals. This song is just perfect and CERTAINLY NOT just for Christmas!

[QuietStormMan]

I Heard THAT!

[lasvegasann]

This is such a great song!!! I can listen to it all year.

[itsad8]

Bravo Mr.O'Neal, you have vocalized the true spirit of Christmas. Thank you ever so much for this song.

[LNQS]

Can't get enough of this holiday jam by O'Neal! His big voice, the melody, the hooks create and awesome audio masterpiece. I can listen to it in the winter, the spring, the summer,the fall.....TIMELESS!

[mforce1]

One of my favorite tracks by Alexander O'Neal. This song just puts you in that warm fuzzy mood. It not only brings out that Christmas spirit, but makes you think about that special someone too!

[superbros779]

Even though Christmas is over I still love this song,this man is one of the best singers I have ever heard in my life. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!!

[calidime30]

This is the jam!  Thanks

[UnionMetalhead]

The mid 80's were great even in the uk, the uk began to lose great music once 1988 began. It all became replaced by house music :( and i dnt think any other country in the world was anywhere as bad as what we had in those last 2 years of the 80's. Now this song is quality at it's finest and most finesse. O neal was great from 1985-1991 and he is fantastic still live.

[Jiltedin2007]

This song is so good that I could listen to this song in July, just as often as I actually would in December. I fell in love with this song the first time I ever heard it.

[Mad4style]

I completely agree. This is such a feel good song. His album "My Gift To You" is pound for pound one of the best Christmas albums EVER. It rates up there with Kenny and Dolly and Mariah Carey.

[Jiltedin2007]

Really? If I knew where to go and purchase, I just might do so. I do not like Internet Shopping, that is where they "Stick it to you", with Shipping Costs, and what not. I'd rather go to a Music Store, and purchase what I want, without the Useless Delivery Charges.

[cwr6]

beast!

[CAbeachtime]

I can't find it on iTunes. : (

[sunraypower]

A great song by Alexander O'Neal. He has always had a wonderful voice and great energy with his singing style and that is evident on this track. So many great holiday songs to listen to including this one.

[StarklingsArmy]

Best Christmas tune by far!

You can play it again and again and never get tired of it!

[Skylinesandsunsets]

Best original Christmas single I've heard in a long time, bar none.

[msbaseball310]

alex o'neal king of r&b

best christmas song

[gogodiva35]

doesn't get much smoother than this at Christmas.....love it!

[mforce1]

Lord, this brings back memories. Alexander O'Neal as a definite underrated artist.

I miss the late 80's/early 90's music. The one time were quality music were ruling the music charts and stations!!

[jungle1969]

Alex is the man! This is one of my all time favorite jams! thanks for listing it!!!!

[da12641]

I fell in love with this song during the Christmas holiday along time ago. Now its one of the theme song for the Christmas holiday at our house.

[oohgar]

Absolute Quality....... You can play this song over and over again and again and never get sick of it, instead you end up loving it even more!!

[cmack007]

Great Song! Was There Ever A Video For It?

[Zaporiah]

aahhhhhh....thoose christmas memories :)

i remember waking up on christmas morning hearing this song on my alarm clock on the stereo. it's plays every year lol i luv it

[Harrisfc]

Definitely one of the best holiday songs, and holiday albums ever recorded. The holiday season wouldn't be complete without.

[caucusjunkietwo3]

i agree...the song My gift to you by Alexander oneal is just as comparable

[LNQS]

One of the best holiday jams from this Brutha...perfect tree trimming music and/ or housework music.

[caucusjunkietwo3]

yes, I remember one chirstmas, i had resigned from my job, i was so happy to be home. I listened to Alex, put on my high heels pulled out a bottle on Pinno Griggio. and dance to this music. I cried because I was so happy. Of , course the children and my mother were RFL at me. Beautiful. My Gift to you is nice too, By Alexander Oneal too

[1986ted]

Brilliant seasonal soulful classic! Thanks for posting! Alexanders music has definately stood the test of time, far better than music these days!

[09191947]

This song is one of my favorite songs, I listen to it all year round. What a Hit!!!!!!!

[caucusjunkietwo3]

you will love my gift to you by Alexander oneal. its on youtube now. Type in alexander Oneal-my gift to you.

[wwsheriff]

This track is a monster. Makes Christmas extra special, full of soul/funk goodness, as good as the day it was released.

[asia1015]

Even though this song is actually 20 years old, I just recently first knew about this song this Last Christmas, and even though Christmas has long passed, still, I listen to this in my Truck when I am driving almost everyday.

I just wished that I first Knew about this song 20 years ago, when it actually came out. This song is Awesome, I can hear anytime of the year.

Someone, please, send me the Actual Lyrics of this song.

[hunn89]

definition of a classic: anything you can listen to 20+ years later and it sounds as good as when it was first released. THIS ALBUM is classic X 2

[caucusjunkietwo3]

[teeman31]

What a soulful voice!

[formula80]

[da12641]

Vinny, TXS man. Been lookin for this one.

[teeman31]

Vinny! You da Man! Thank you for posting one of my favorite christmas jams. Merry Christmas and a blessed 2008!

[teeman31]

I just had a fantasy of ordinary folks shopping at a mall when all of sudden this Alex track starts playing from the speakers overhead, shoppers drop their packages & bags and began dancing to this jam.

[Tes7000]

Thanks so much for posting this - awesome song. Takes me back to the 80s. Jam & Lewis rock!
