The Falcons “Can This Be Christmas” (Silhouette, 1957)
Can This Be Christmas? You bet it is!
Here is a classic from the Falcons, who some have called the first soul group. This release is the debut of the amazing lineup of Joe Stubbs (older brother of Levi, who later sang in the Contours), Eddie Floyd (who found success on Stax and wrote hits such as “Knock on Wood”), Mack Rice (who first recorded “Mustang Sally” and has his own later success on Stax), band leader Willie Schofield (who wrote this song) and Lance Finnie.
This was the first of many singles the group would put out on labels owned by Robert West, who also owned Kudo, Flick and Lu-Pine. The same lineup would record the song “You’re So Fine” the next year, which became their biggest hit, reaching #2 on the R&B charts and #17 on the pop charts. This is also before Wilson Pickett joined the group in 1960, singing lead on their other biggest hit, “I Found a Love.”
Merry Christmas everyone!
