Why Nat King Cole and Donny Hathaway Dominate Christmas Playlists
In this festive episode of Queue Points, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray drop the needle on two holiday classics that continue to define Christmas for Black America—Nat King Cole's "The Christmas Song" and Donny Hathaway's "This Christmas." Why do these songs still hold a chokehold on our holiday playlists decades after their release? The duo dives into the rich history behind these tracks, exploring their cultural impact, the personal memories they evoke, and why covers of these songs often fall short of the originals. From the classy charm of Nat King Cole to the soulful groove of Donny Hathaway, this episode celebrates Black musical excellence and holiday traditions that span generations. Tune in, get cozy, and reflect on the songs that make the season bright! #NatKingCole #DonnyHathaway #TheChristmasSong #ThisChristmas #BlackMusicHistory Chapters 00:00 Intro Theme 00:16 Welcome to Queue Points Podcast 00:58 Holiday Music: Love or Hate? 02:14 The Magic of Classic Christmas Songs 03:34 The History Behind 'The Christmas Song' 07:06 The Story of 'This Christmas' 10:39 The Legacy and Impact of These Songs 13:32 Personal Holiday Memories 17:15 The Debate on Cover Songs 20:23 Wrapping Up and Final Thoughts 22:02 Closing Theme Get More From Us Pandora: https://qpnt.net/pandoraRead Our Magazine: https://magazine.queuepoints.com Support Us Become A Member: https://magazine.queuepoints.comShop Our Store: https://store.queuepoints.comBuy Us A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/queuepointspodContribute: https://cash.app/$queuepointspod Follow Us On Social Media Facebook: https://facebook.com/queuepointspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/queuepointspodTwitter: https://twitter.com/queuepointspodTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@queuepointspod This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp
