they played in my hometown in 97 in front of like 20 peoples and i didnt dig them back then...blame it on acid jazz still, this track rocks any christmas party, totally dope...feel free to add on, strutters!!!
me and me wifey were just makin up a mixtape of xmas music...there is a 45 called SOUL SANTA out there (by who? dun remember) but it's noice. i love SANTA CLAUSE GOES STRAIGHT TO THE GHETTO and LET'S UNITE THE WORLD AT CHRISTMAS TIME...both by j.b. o yeah...christmas in hollis is dope...
Well, I WISH I could say that the Ohio Players'"Happy Holidays" was classic Xmas funk, but...
All the good Xmas funk tracks could fit on one seven-inch EP, but one of those songs would have to be that one song on the Funky Funky Chicago compilation (I forget the title/artist at present).
count sidney and his dukes "soul christmas"(goldband) chamber Bros "merry christmas happy new year" (columbia) Clarence Carter "back door santa"(atlantic) rufus thomas "Ill be your santa baby"(stax) james brown "souful christmas"(king) james brown "hey america"(king)
