Jackie DeShannon (Sharon Myers) recorded "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" (Jackie DeShannon - Randy Myers - Jimmy Holiday) in 1969 written with her brother Randy Myers and the late R&B singer Jimmy Holiday. The single peaked at number four pop and number two on the Adult Contemporary charts.

I think Annie Lennox is simply great and Al Green (Greene) spectacular when they covered "Put A Little Love In Your Heart" for the 1988 "Scrooged" soundtrack. The song reached number nine on Billboard and number two on the AC chart. The single was produced by Annie's partner in Eurythmics, Dave Stewart. Bill Murray starred in the film.
