Ronnie Spector & Darlene Love - 1988-12-22 - Bottom Line, NY, NY (Ex Aud)

In November 1963, Phil Spector released the album,  A Christmas Gift For You from Phil Spector, featuring Christmas tunes sung by The Ronnettes, Darlene Love, and The Crystals. o The disc went to #10 on the Billboard charts and was ranked #142 on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 and 2012 lists of the 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time. In 2019, Rolling Stone ranked it as the greatest Christmas album of all time. Decades later, Ronnie Spector and Darlene Love continued their connection to that album, playing Christmas shows at clubs like the Bottom Line in New York. This excellent audience reocrding captures their 1988 show on December 22, 1988, 3 dozen years ago today. By the way, Sonny Bono plays the role of Phil Spector at this show, furthering the link to the legendary album from 1963!
