James Brown Let's Make Christmas Mean Something This Year

[truegangsteroflove]

What I great song! Thanks for posting it! I only heard it once before, on Christmas in 1966 or 67, on the radio. I've been telling people about it ever since. It's the best Christmas song of all time.

[MrPicklemeat]

Bring back memories of my mom and dad playing this song when I was a kid

[ncbloom]

Amen brother James !

[msbackindaday]

This song will always rmind of my now deceased mother....Her brother "Uncle Willie" gave her the album the Christmas before he died....She used to stand in the living room and do her 'step" while doing her soul clap.......RIP Mommy and thanks for all the Christmases you and Daddy made mean something to me....I WILL NEVER FORGET THEM!!!!

Every day is Christmas. James Brown IS Christmas. From Wikipedia: He passed from our world to Heaven at 01:45 A.M. on Christmas Day, 2006. The week before his death, Brown took time to give Christmas presents to an orphanage in Atlanta, GA. Also listen to JB's "Sweet Little Baby Boy" and "Sleigh Ride."

Thanks, Soul Brother #1! The greatest entertainer of the 20th century, Michael Jackson's inspiration. One paved the way and set the example for the other. They were both great. RIP to both of them. Rest at last.krxn11

HE MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY FEELIN' IT AT THAT MOMENT....I SHOCKED HIS VOCAL CHORDS DIDN'T POP, LOL.

[Buckeyecat2002]

This is about as close to a Reverand James Brown having a Christmas Revival as I have ever been a witness to. RIP Godfather. Good Gawd!!

In the Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs, author Francis Weiser traces the origin of Santa to Thor: "Behind the name Santa Claus actually stands the figure of the pagan Germanic god Thor." Here, [Thor] then, is the true origin of our "Santa Claus." . . . With the Christian saint whose name he still bears, however, this Santa Claus has really nothing to do. (Weiser, Francis X. Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs. New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc., 1952, p. 113)

Encyclopaedia Britannica, Volume 11 ; page 390.

"During the later periods of Roman history, sun worship gained in importance and ultimately led to what has been called a 'solar monotheism.' Nearly all the gods of the period were possessed of Solar qualities. The feast of Sol and Victus (open unconquered Sun) on December 25th was celebrated with great joy, and eventually this date was taken over by the Christians as Christmas, the birthday of Christ."

I can't believe it took me 36 years to here this album! I bought the remaster and it is my instant fav for the holidays, followed closely by the Jackson 5 Christmas album.

[mrstanbmw]

James was and still is a Giant and will be forever in the Black Community, He was our voice. RIP Brotha Brown.
