The staff of <a href=\"http:\/\/nmblc.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">NMBLC<\/a> put together our list of the top Christmas and holiday songs by Black artists.

It instantly sounds familiar, like it\u2019s already been in the ether, making it a modern holiday classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/3Uwhfjj8NssoKy9OAmDyZ1?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cAll Alone on Christmas\u201d by Darlene Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one\u2019s a total jam. Not surprising, given that it was written by Steven Van Zandt of The E Street Band and performed by Darlene Love with members of both The E Street Band and The Miami Horns. Between the rhythm, the Motown callbacks, Love\u2019s powerhouse gospel shout, and Clarence Clemons\u2019s inimitable sax solos, this tune will have you dancing around the Christmas tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/7kwAGjaoIvIEfL2poi9A1U?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cMary, Did You Know\u201d by Mary J. Blige<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this ballad written for Mother Mary herself, Mary J. Blige\u2019s rich, soulful voice couldn\u2019t be more perfect. Her vocals run over the bittersweet piano melody like a river, soaring and dipping and holding steady in all the right places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/1niEXOuY41mKkF8qxsJpCq?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cI Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus\u201d by The Jackson 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Released in 1970 on the critically acclaimed and #1 charting<em> <\/em>Jackson 5&#8217;s<em> Christmas Album<\/em>, this childhood favorite is still popular with our readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/15sxLiiChE5dCW3Y756oas?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cFeels Different\u201d by Brandy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For something completely different (see what we did there?), the first track on Brandy\u2019s 2023 album <em>Christmas with Brandy <\/em>has a lush 90s R&amp;B sound with a sick groove that underscores the darker side of the holiday season: loneliness. A breakup that would usually be survivable hits much harder during the Yuletide season. Co-written by Brandy, it\u2019s a new and fresh addition to the Christmas song catalog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0HzOhZUf3Ew4x1sMTFU3SP?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201cSanta Baby\u201d by Eartha Kitt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I mean, really.
