Merry Christmas All

by the Salsoul Orchestra
It's a jolly good time of the year
People somehow know
The Christmas spirit they show
The Salsoul Orchestra recorded a number of albums from 1974 to 1982. Comprised of session musicians, some of whom had previously worked for the Gamble and Huff studio in Philadelphia, the Orchestra released a Christmas album in 1976. Christmas Jollies is an excellent melding of the mid-70s disco sound with Christmas favorites.
One track, 'Merry Christmas All', an original contribution, was written by the Orchestra's founder, Vincent Montana Jr. with his daughter Denise Montana on lead vocals.
A video, featuring Denise lip-synching to the song, is available here. Dig it ! They don't make 'em like that anymore !
