Christmas All Over the World
Christmas All Over the World is the fourth studio album released by American R&B group New Edition released in December 1985 by MCA. It serves as the group's first Christmas album and the final album to feature vocals from original member Bobby Brown who shortly departed for a solo career after the release of this album where the group reluctantly forced him out due to managerial concern of the group's image being tattered by Brown's outbursts until he returned for their seventh album Home Again (1996).
The album was a moderate chart success, only peaking at number forty-five on the Billboard R&B Albums chart, and received mediocre reviews from most music critics.
Release and reaction
Track listing
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
"Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" is a Christmas holiday song originally sung by Darlene Love and included on the 1963 Christmas compilation album, A Christmas Gift for You from Philles Records. The song was written by Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry along with Phil Spector, with the intentions of being sung by Ronnie Spector of The Ronettes. According to Darlene Love, Ronnie Spector was not able to put as much emotion into the song as needed. Instead, Love was brought into the studio to record the song which became a big success over time and one of Love's signature tunes.
In December 2010, Rolling Stone magazine ranked "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" first on its list of The Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs, saying that "nobody can match Love's emotion and sheer vocal power."
