Your Favorite Christmas Album

[Optimal Saint]

On a side note

Why wasn't there a 60s Marvin Gaye or Four Tops Christmas album?

I know Marvin did a few xmas songs that have popped up on various collections [[I love his Christmas in the City instrumental) and the Tops did a 90s album [[which I don't care for at all)

I've always wondered why we never got a "classic Motown" album from either one

Believe it or not, when I was typing my original post and listing my Motown favorites, it was suddenly glaringly obvious that my favorite male singer of all time Marvin Gaye was conspicuously absent from that list, despite recording a couple of really nice holiday tunes. I wondered to myself why he never got a holiday album. Vocally and artistically, Marvin was in line for Gordy's crossover dreams, so it would seem like a natural idea to have him record a Christmas album. The same with the Tops. Both Marvin and the Tops were among Motown's biggest and successful, so it would've made sense to capitalize on that with holiday albums. I guarantee both would've been legit classics.
