Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings' holiday album It's a Holiday Soul Party! was completed before Jones' tragic passing from cancer this past November and as a result, the first video from the release takes on an added poignancy. "Please Come Home for Christmas" is shot with claymation, in a similar style to the Rankin/Bass TV specials you watched as a kid like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.The video, which took three months to shoot, follows the timeless story of a lost soul seeking comfort during the holidays, and it has an appropriately heartwarming conclusion.
