Thank You "Mr Brown" Elivs not

In Detroit, I could not hear this version this year, because ALL of our radio stations were sticking to their top 50 Xmas playlist of songs. Now I heard every jack legged, phoney, copied version of this song they could play, but not this beloved version by Charles Brown. SHAME ON THE LOCAL DETROIT RADIO WORLD!

I played lead guitar for Charles Brown from 1976 to 86, except for 81 to 83 when I was in Hawaii and he was in New York.He was 55 when I met him, and he was a hot Hammond B3 player, and sharp on the bass peddles too. I was 24. All the piano stuff sounded even better on organ. He said he wished he knew me when he had better gigs. I did too, but the better gigs came back.

Who's with me on this being one of the ALLTIME best Christmas songs EVER! This song is from a time when things and life was so much more simple. This song has so much power and soul behind it! I remember it all the way back from the late 60's all through the years as my mom would play it during the holidays, and especially while preparing the Christmas Dinner. Food smells from Turkey, Collard Greens, Sweet Potato Pies, and so much more would be streaming through the house.
