I got asked to pull out a few Xmas songs for a Starpoint Radio Xmas show which is coming up, so I thought I'd dig out a few Northern things and I'm struggling already.

The only one I could find was this......

Artie Fullilove "Santa Claus Please Listen To Me" Marlu 1001

https://www.zshare.net/audio/523814705ea9a338/

The best bit on the track is when he sings "Santa Claus please listen to me, please don't bring me a gun" LOL.....

Any others out there?

The wife bought me a 'xmas with Motown' cd about 10 years ago, a bit cheesy but it does warm the cockles when the trees up.

'Little bright star', diana ross and the supremes is nice for a bit of novelty value.

This is in no way an endorsement of diana ross :D !

I'll get me sleigh

Up the ladder to the roof/ The fooking chimney blocked.

Gone with the wind/Rita and the Sprouts.

Never love a robin(they wont let you get your knob in)

Shonuff no turkey stuff.

Clean up the grotto.

The Present/Many are shit tip the lot in the skip.

SKF'ing in the snow.

Like a chestnut roasting in an open fire,smell of singeing is driving me insane,

Got stuck in the chimney some time ago, now my arse is beginning to glow'

My sack is on fire,my sack is on fire.ooooooooooooh yeah my sack is on fire,

Burning ,burning,my sack is on fire,burning,burnig,my sack is on fire.

Slay in my lonely arms/The Elfkins.

Slay it is'nt so.

My Turkey is gonna be a big thing/YumYum.

Xmas Trek.

The best one has got to be Stevie Wonder "What Christmas means To Me", awesome. Followed by the aforementioned Darlene Love "Christmas(Baby Please Come Home)". I hate the Artie Fullilove track.

Here's a few more for your consideration -

1) Donny Hathaway- "This Christmas"

2) The Intruders- "Everyday is A Holiday" (not pure Christmas, mentions

about every Holiday you can think of.)

3) Supremes- "Children's Christmas Song" ( the cheesiest of them all ! )

Lou Rawls " christmas will really be christmas" from his "Ho Ho" album is very good.

I think it appeared on one those french "smoocher"compilations from the late 90's aswell.

Here's a you tube clip as I don't have capabilites to do soundfiles.

Ace had a CD out in 2006 called "Rhythm & Blues Christmas".

Mixture of blues, ballads & doo-wop; best tracks are a couple of doo-wop dancers 'Santa Claus Baby' & 'Santa Claus Boogie' by The Voices.

Not an essential purchase but would add to the festive spirit.
