Can Mariah Carey be knocked off the Christmas chart? For years she’s dominated it with “All I Want for Christmas is You,” a Phil Spector-ish single that recalls the famous Wall of Sound.
But now Cher may have the weapon to knock off Mariah. Sixty years ago Phil Spector recorded Darlene Love singing “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home”). Cher sang back up on what has become the real Christmas anthem.
Today, Cher has released a new version, singing a duet with Darlene as if time has stopped cold.
Mariah could be in real trouble.
