The Night Before Christmas
by Larry Dee
Every blue moon a song comes along that changes the game, Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas”, Charles Brown’s “Merry Christmas Baby”, Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” and of course Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas is You”. Christmas 2015 marks the debut of another Christmas classic that will be a regular from now until eternity. That song is Larry Dee’s “The Night Before Christmas”, a soulful new Christmas classic that is destined for mandatory Christmas season programming all over the world. Written and performed by veteran soul singer and organist, Larry Dee. “The Night Before Christmas” is just plain and simple a Christmas Classic straight out of the box. There is no guessing, no pondering, no wondering, the first time you hear it, you know that “The Night Before Christmas” was meant to be shared with friends and family all over the world… It’s a soulful song with a classic horn tag that will immediately identify the song and trigger a joyful response. The lyrics aren’t sophisticated, the song is about simple Christmas cheer with family love and togetherness. Again, the very first time you listen to this song you will know that it is destined to become a song that has a regular spot on the air waves all around the world… So enjoy your, Eggnog, your cookies, your ham and turkey, family, and whatever else you do as a Christmas tradition. But just remember that everyday throughout the holiday leading up to Christmas and beyond, we’re all hoping and waiting to hear “The Night Before Christmas” by Larry Dee exclusively on 804Soul.
