    That Soul Duo track is great, and new to me.

    These two always make me very happy:


    James Brown: "Let's Unite the World at Christmas"


    Sun Ra: "It's Christmas Time"

    a holiday fave!



    this one is on the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special so it automatically is a holiday tune for me.

    Well there is all the recent ones, but I was looking for stuff I didn't know. I usually also play:

    Soul Saints Orch - Santas Got A Bag Of Soul
    Binky Griptite - Stone Soul XMas
    Sharon Jones - No Chimnies In The Ghetto
    Raindeer Runners - Pull My Sled

    Those are pretty easy though....maybe it just seems that way to me, cause I play them every year.


    Here is a fantastic one I learned about this year. Just picked up a copy....well its promised to me, I pick it up this weekend.

    staple singers - who took the merry out of christmas
    william bell - everyday will be like a holiday
    stridells - i remember christmas
    betty lloyd - snowflakes
    sweet tee - let the jingle bells rock

    Figured you would have this. I would probably spin it this season if absolutely necessary (bah humbug)
    Seems like a novelty/alternate issue of Funky Funk that is actually better?

    This one. But only the Dub side!

    Yeah I agree....alternate issue. The flip is Funky Funk pt 1.
