It’s a Christmas tradition: the great Darlene Love singing her Phil Spector produced classic “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on late night TV. She did it with Paul Shaffer on Letterman for about 25 years. It never gets old!

Tonight, Darlene returned to Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show with Shaffer and Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul. And wow! Shaffer conducting a dozen musicians, Little Steven wailing away on guitar and Darlene’s famed throaty vocal was like an early Chanukah er Christmas gift!

PS Look how happy Paul is. Like old times!

This made my week!
