Music of the day – We Need A Little Christmas

A fun song composed by Jerry Herman for the Musical “Mame” in 1966.

As you’re watching the video, see if you can spot a young Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes, who were members of The New Christy Minstrels circa 1966.

    I don’t know who Kim Carnes is. But, I looked for Kenny Rogers but couldn’t find him. I guess he had that beard for so long, I don’t remember his face.

      Kim Carnes?
      Probably best known for this Donna Weiss/Jackie DeShannon song recorded in 1981

      Her hair is Harlowe gold
      Her lips sweet surprise
      Her hands are never cold
      She’s got Bette Davis eyes

          Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon wrote the song (around 1974), –
          Kim Carnes had a major hit with it about 6 years later.
          Jackie DeShannon first recorded the song (1975?) but it didn’t do too well
          / it does have a nice up tempo R & B feel to it:

          The Kim Carnes version with the iconic keyboard riff was a major hit:
