Song of the Day: 'Christmas Day' by Dido


Day 5 of my holiday gems you may not know: Today's pick appeared on the fifth edition of "A Very Special Christmas," the iconic holiday album Jimmy Iovine put together in 1987 as a way of coping with the death of his father. To be honest, I don't think I even knew they'd made more than two of these, but the 2001 edition ("A Very Special Christmas 5") featured Macy Gray, Wyclef Jean, Eve 6 as well as established acts like Darlene Love, B.B. King, Tom Petty, Jon Bon Jovi and Stevie Nicks. 


But it was this contribution by Dido, who was on top of the world with her quadruple platinum debut, "No Angel," that subtly stole the show.
