Linda has also released lyric videos produced by Eklectrik Music – Nashville, TN to accompany her Christmas songs available on her official artist YouTube Channel to celebrate the magic of the holiday season.
When asked about the inspiration for this song, Imperial said, “The love from afar, in paradise came to mind. Missing the ones you love during the holidays, especially when you’re far away from each other is such a challenging experience for lovers. I wanted to express the shared love and experience of a beautiful part of the world for people who experience Christmas in a different climate. It’s the same joy of Christmas, but it’s Christmas In The Tropics.”
“I love the holidays and Christmas is one of my favorites. It’s such a special time of the year – a time where, all over the globe, there’s merriment and good cheer. People actually try to reflect on peace, love and goodwill. So the holidays were coming up and I heard this melody in my head and thought how lovely it is to share moments with that special person in your life.
Then the words came – I sang it to Joel Jaffe, my producer and songwriting partner. He loved it, made some changes, added his music magic with his guitar and with the support from some of my San Francisco Bay area musician friends “Christmas You and Me” became our first song together.” The track also features piano by Eamonn Flynn, drummer Ed McClary and bass player Marc Levine,” shared Linda Imperial.

About Linda Imperial:
Linda Imperial, a true survivor whose life and decades-long musical career have been a whirlwind roller coaster of highs, lows, and dark struggles followed by shining through redemption, showcases the blues-rock side of her artistry like never before.
After a tour with Big Mama Thornton’s rhythm section, Linda found her breakthrough success with Loverde, a 70’s-early 80’s dance/vocal group she co-founded. Linda toured the world to promote their hit “Die Hard Lover,” which debuted on the Billboard charts at #4 and stayed in the upper reaches for months.
Her list of later credits and associations is truly dizzying. She has worked for and with the Jazz supergroup New York Jazz Explosion, Sylvester, The Weather Girls, Gary Duncan’s Quicksilver Messenger Service, and Jefferson Starship, where she met her husband David Freiberg (an early member of both Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jefferson Airplane and an original member and current member of Jefferson Starship).
