Sorry if this is posted elsewhere, it just pop it in my head this is probably a great place to ask this, what are the most soulful and/or funkiest x-mas cuts? I'd like to load a set in my ipod to play while at the parents house and while driving around on the weekend and the such. I already loaded up the hip hop x-mas treats. Any ideas? mp3s accepted

El Vez Blue Xmas (live) 7" Single Typical El Vez live mashup, singing Blue Xmas over some Rolling Stones (I forget which song). From a split 7"Little Alfred & the Linden Black Youth Choir K'N'K
I'm Dreaming of a Black Christmas 7" Single Wizdom
Little Alfred sounds very much like little Michael Jackson
Akim & the Teddy Van Production Comp. Santa Claus is a Black Man 7" Single Simtone
Very young kid, hillarious tune. Featured on the John Waters Christmas mix.
Clarence Carter Back Door Santa 7" Single Atlantic
Speaks for itself.
unfortunately, I don't have this as mp3 here, I might be able to post by tomorrow if all goes according to plan.
excruciating as that was, the staff pretty much stuck to classical renditions and this album:
low
to this day, this is probably the only xmas album i would ever buy.
the binky 45 is pretty good though.
if you like that you may want to look into the Bright Eyes Christmas album.
Very traditional (no original compositions)
a lot of songs are given a nice lo-fi treatment and others are so elequently performed that its just plain smile-inducing
whats the x-mas record on seven b? isaac clarke or somethin? i'll have to dig it up, but i dont have an mp3, sorry, maybe someone else does.
thanx alot! I definitely appreciate it. I'm going to be up way past my "bedtime"...
Jacob Miller/Ray I--Silver Bells
