It May Be Winter Outside (But in My Heart It's Spring)

“It May Be Winter Outside (But in My Heart It’s Spring)” is a soul classic co-written by Barry White and Paul Politi, first recorded by Felice Taylor in 1967. With its sweeping orchestration and bittersweet lyric, the song captured the contrast between cold winter days and the warmth of love within. Taylor’s original version became a modest hit in the U.S., later finding even broader success when Barry White’s group Love Unlimited recorded it in 1973—charting again in the States and reaching the Top 20 in the UK. Over time, the song has become a beloved winter-soul staple, often associated with emotional warmth rather than traditional Christmas imagery.

In this deeply nostalgic reinterpretation, Master Tc & The Visitors transform the track into a glowing holiday-season performance straight out of the 1940s and 1950s. Recorded using vintage ribbon microphones, analog mixing consoles, and pre-Dolby A magnetic tape techniques, the performance leans into lush harmonies, rich low-end warmth, and softly blooming highs. The result feels like a late-night winter broadcast from a bygone era—snow falling outside, hearts full inside—turning a soul ballad into a timeless seasonal moment steeped in romance, comfort, and old-world magic.
