Former lead vocalist for the temptin' Temptations, brother Eddie Kendricks, leads off G.B. Xmas #2 with a Motown Seasons greeting. The history of New World African Christmas Music is at the forefront this time - the second show of a harmonious WAGRadio Yule. We all have such an investment in the music we love. Once again we think of those who can't be at home. We think of those who are in hospital or are incarcerated and hope that our mutual love of music brings much-needed cheer to you...
