COMPILATION

Motown Christmas Carol is a collection of holiday tunes Stevie Wonder, the Supremes, the Jackson 5, the Miracles, Smokey Robinson, the Temptations, and Eddie Kendricks recorded in the '60s and early '70s. It's a generous collection, running 23 tracks, and it's a very entertaining one as well, since almost all of the tracks are solid renditions of familiar carols and tunes. For budget-minded Motown fanatics, this is a good choice for the holiday season. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
