I loved the California Raisins as a child! I was looking for it for my kids to listen to, and the closest thing I have found is just buying the Buddy Miles:Greatest Christmas Hit album off of iTunes. Glad to see it was on YouTube though!!
Buddy Miles, (Drummer for Jimi Hendrix: Band of Gypsies") is the lead vocalist on this track. Buddy was a personal friend. Once, I asked Buddy what were some of his favorite albums or Cd's that he had been a part of. He was especially proud of singing as the lead California Raisin. He asked if I had a copy of the Cd because his was long lost. It took a couple of years, but I found one. However, Buddy moved to Texas and I never saw him again. I'm know he would be thrilled to see the Cd posted.
This is a classic album! Thank you very much for posting each and every one of these tracks. I too have fond memories of this album as a child, when Christmas was Christmas. Thanks again for posting. I will enjoy Christmas a lot more this year!
Oh man, I remember this album when I was much younger. Back when Christmas was so magical. My parents would make hot cocoa for us kids and load us up in the car and we'd ride around looking at christmas lights while listening to this album.
I am sooooooooooooooo thrilled to find this!!! My kids and I played our cassette every Christmas while putting up the tree or baking cookies or just getting in the Christmas mood. Neither one of my kids are coming home for Christmas this year, so I'm going to try to send this link to them.
@jaymoe2004 Don't be mad about not finding the CD, the only place I could remember where they were selling them, was on eBay, and not cheap either. It took me 3 months of looking, and then acquiring, to get the whole CD. A song here and a song there.
