26 TRACKS

Sick of all the same-oleʼ, same-oleʼ Christmas carols playing over and over? Then you are going to love Santa, Teach Me To Dance! From the irresistibly funky groves of Rocki Lane & the Gross Groupʼs opening track “Santa Soul,” to the Manhattans potent, poignant closer “Alone on New Yearʼs Eve,” this treasury of exotic Yuletide soul is the ultimate antidote to stale Christmas standards. Itʼs a deep dive into the rich soul-R&B tradition of holiday music, with gems from iconic kingpins like Otis Redding, Solomon Burke and the Jackson 5, alongside a host of collectible rarities like Don Smithʼs bluesy groover “Black Christmas,” The Soul Stirrers indescribably beautiful “Christmas Joy,” Sam ʻSweetsingerʼ Bellʼs irresistible reason-for-the-season funk workout “Happy Birthday Jesus,” Joe Texʼs smoldering pledge “I'll Make Everyday Christmas (For My Woman),” plus twenty equally memorable, deeply soulful performances
