Ultimate Christmas Playlist Day 19: The Emotions, ‘What Do the Lonely Do at Christmas’

What’s Christmas without classic music? This year we’re celebrating the holidays by letting our readers curate the Ultimate Christmas Playlist. Each day we’ll add one new song to our Spotify playlist on our way to Christmas Day. And I know you wanna add your favorite song, right?

Leave your selections on the comments of this post, at our Soul In Stereo Cypher Facebook page, hit me up on Twitter @etbowser, or email us at soulinstereoblog@gmail.com. Simply name your song and give us a sentence or so telling us why you love it. 

I’ve left our playlist’s song selection in the hands of our readers and obviously they’re doing an amazing song.

But you didn’t think I was gonna let y’all have all the fun, did you? Today’s entry is all mine.

While most of our songs have been pretty upbeat, uplifting or just fun, I’ve always found that the best Christmas songs are utterly depressing. The Emotions’ “What Do The Lonely Do at Christmas” is pretty heartbreaking but MAN they make you feel their pain. It ain’t Christmas until they ask that eternal question: “What DO they do? What DO they do? At Christmas?”
