Patti labelle this christmas
This Christmas is the first holiday album released by singer Patti LaBelle on the MCA label. The album included original compositions such as "Twas Love", which LaBelle shot a video for, and "Nothing Could Be Better", which was sung live by LaBelle during an appearance on the show, A Different World, where she played Kadeem Hardison's mother. The album was released while LaBelle was working on a follow-up to her last pop album, Be Yourself. This would be LaBelle's only Christmas-related studio album until the release of Miss Patti's Christmas nearly 20 years later.
Contents
The album would be re-released in 1995 (and again in 2004 under the "20th Century Masters: The Christmas Collection" line) with the bonus track "Angel Man".
