This Christmas (Donny Hathaway song)
"This Christmas" is a song by American jazz musician Donny Hathaway released in 1970 by Atco Records. The song gained renewed interest when it was included in 1991 on Atco Records' revised edition of their 1968 ''Soul Christmas'' compilation album and has since become a modern Christmas standard, with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers reporting that it was 30th most-performed holiday song of all time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ascap.com/press/2014/1203-top-holiday-songs-100-years )〕
Phil Upchurch said the song was "absolutely the premiere holiday song written by an African American". It was written by Hathaway and Nadine McKinnor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/this-christmas-mt0000815336 )〕
== Background ==
"This Christmas" was recorded at Audio Finishers Studio on Ontario Street, Chicago in the fall of 1970.〔 Ric Powell (see credits below) said that Hathaway was "very upbeat during the session" and that he "knew what he wanted to do musically and the impact he wanted to make with this song" regarding the representation of African Americans in Christmas music.〔 On writing the song with Hathaway (who died in 1979), Nadine McKinnor said she felt "blessed to have written with Donny a song that celebrates the possibilities, the expectations, and the anticipation of Christmas and the good fun and happy loving times", and that the creation of the song "was a God plan. God was in this plan. And Donny Hathaway was a genius."
"This Christmas" was released as a single in 1970, where it saw little success, charting only once on any of ''Billboard'' magazine's weekly published music charts. It made ''Billboard''s special Christmas Singles chart on the week of December 23, 1972, peaking at No. 11. In 1991, Atco Records released a revised edition of their 1968 compilation album ''Soul Christmas'' that included "This Christmas".
