My Annual Darlene Love Christmas Tradition Screwed Up By What Else? Covid. Still Making It Work, Though!

 Every year for the past I don't know how long now - at least a decade - I've posted Darlene Love's annual TV performance of her classic "Christmas Baby (Please Come Home).  

For the past few years, she's done this on the chat fest show, "The View." It isn't happening this year.

Yes, Covid got in the way again. 

Thankfully and most importantly, Love seems to be A-OK. One of her band members tested positive, so the entire band was quarantined. 

In a video interview last Friday with The View, Love says she feels fine. She said she's fully vaccinated, had her booster shot, and also a flu shot.  The band member who tested positive with a probable breakthrough infection was also fully vaccinated, rendering that person a bit less likely to spread the virus. 

The quarantine was lifted last weekend, and Love was once again able to give public performances. o You can't stop tradition, so I'm using that video for this year's Darlene Love salute.  It was recorded last Saturday at Town Hall in New York. 

Incredibly, Love is 80 years old and looks and sounds fantastic!   You can see it at the bottom of this post, of course. 

In the video, the octogenarian absolutely rocks it in a pair of tight leather pants and a sparkly red top with a plunging neckline. I don't know many people Love's age who can get away with this, but she sure can! 

She's certainly something to strive for as we age!

In any event, despite everything, Merry Christmas to all! 

So, down to business. The video interview from last Friday on "The View" shows clips of past years' performances.

And, as noted, we have this year's version. Sound and video quality isn't great, but it gets the job done!
