‘LAST CHRISTMAS’

This has always been one of my favorite Christmas songs!

I even got Angelika, my oldest grand-daughter hooked on it.

I remember, to this day, what I was doing when I first heard ‘Careless Whisper‘.

What a sad loss for the music world.

Gone too soon!!

~Pop Star George Michael Dead At 53~

George Michael died of heart failure, according to his longtime manager Michael Lippman.

LONDON, Dec 25 (Reuters)

British singer George Michael, who became one of the pop idols of the 1980’s with Wham! and then forged a career as a successful solo artist with sometimes sexually provocative lyrics, died at his home in England on Sunday.

He was 53.
In the mid-1980’s, Wham! was one of the most successful pop duos ever, ahead even of Simon & Garfunkel, with singles like ”Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”, ”Careless Whisper”, “Last Christmas” and “The Edge of Heaven”.

CLASSROOM INSTRUMENTS

Jimmy Fallon, Mariah Carey & The Roots

“All I Want For Christmas Is You”

Jimmy Fallon and the band were joined by Mariah Carey on what was then Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and they cranked out a rousing rendition of her holiday pop classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

Though Carey’s recorded version will indubitably be played millions of times in the coming weeks, you probably won’t hear anything like this.

Fallon and company are playing their toy instruments and a small chorus of kids are on backup, while everyone is dressed in their holiday finest.

It’s totally irresistible, even for the most Grinch-like viewer.

“All I Want For Christmas Is You”

~~Published on Dec 4, 2012~~

Backstage before the show, Jimmy, Mariah Carey, and The Roots grabbed some instruments you’d find in an elementary school classroom and stopped by the Late Night “Music Room” to sing Mariah’s holiday classic, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”
