Soul star Darlene Love has vowed never to perform her festive hit “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” on TV again after singing the track for the 28th time on David Letterman’s final 2014 “The Late Show” last week.
Dec. 19 night’s show, which was rebroadcast on Christmas Day, was the outgoing late-night host’s final festive episode, and Love is planning to repay his two decades of support by refusing to perform the track he invites her to sing on TV every year for anyone else.
She tells Billboard magazine, “After 10 years, then 15 years, of doing this one song on this one show, I felt I had an obligation to be true to them.”
