Cher notably performed background vocals on the song and eventually covered it herself last year. Cher’s version, which featured Love, appeared on her LP, and talked about recording both the old and new versions of “Christmas ” and how the two singers formed a lifelong friendship following that original recording session together.
“Sonny Bono was working for Spector at that time,” Love said. “He was one of those guys that would go get whatever Phil needed. We used to call him ‘The Gopher.’ And then one time, he brought this girl to the session. She was very quiet, very humble, very shy. I said, ‘Sonny, who is that?’ He goes, ‘This is Cher. This is my new girlfriend.’ She was just 17 years old.
She added of reuniting with Cher for the new edition, “The whole thing only took an hour. They legitimately just wanted me to sing it the way I sing it when I perform it live, which is amazing. We got it in just four takes. They said, ‘That’s it. We got what we want.’ And I had no idea what they were going to do with it until I heard the final product, but we sing the verses together in unison. I was really surprised by how wonderful it turned out.
