Description

The Temptations, like the Miracles, dropped two Christmas albums into their fans laps within the space of ten years. First up was The Temptations Christmas Card, issued in October 1970. Ironically, this traditional festive package its tracks include Silent Night, Let It Snow, The Little Drummer Boy and Santa Claus Is Comin To Town came at the close of a year in which the group had one of its most lyrically provocative hits, Ball Of Confusion (Thats What The World Is Today). Nonetheless, goodwill to all men oozed from the albums grooves, and it reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Christmas charts in 1970, 71 and 72.
