26 TRACKS

A showcase of seldom heard Christmas songs from over two dozen soul legends, sanctified gospel quartets, vintage inner-city funk, risqué Deep Southern soul, passionate doo wop, Caribbean steel drum workouts and much more, this super-charged collection of R&B rarities will definitely liven up your Yuletide celebrations! From Clarence Carterʼs deliciously raunchy “Back Door Santa” to the stunningly spiritual vocals of Solomon Burkeʼs “Silent Night Pt. 1 and 2 (live),” this compilation is NOT merely shopping mall background music, delivering a red hot, richly contrasting set of rarely aired soul-funk treasures. With the hot roasted innuendo of Rose Grahamʼs “Black Christmas,” Jimmy Jules & the Nuclear Soul Systemʼs steamy 70ʼs romp “Xmas Done Got Funky,” spectacular contributions from The Velvelettes, Darlene Love, The Sweet Inspirations, soul giants The OʼJays, Smokey Robinson, Otis Redding & Carla Thomas, this set serves “spiked” punch for Christmas.
