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?

 

[PATX]

This one. But only the Dub side!

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