Underrated Christmas Songs, Day 11: Albert King, “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'”

Every year at Soul In Stereo, we spent 25 days featuring our favorite holiday songs. But this year, we’re featuring the 25 most underrated Christmas songs — those songs that bring back wonderful memories, yet few people seem to know them. Let’s give those songs the shine they deserve.

I bet ya’ll thought Clarence Carter was the only dirty old man at the Christmas party. Albert King tells you what’s on his mind: “I don’t want no turkey/don’t care nuthin bout no cake/I want you to come in here woman, before the children wake.” Sanna Claws is wildin’.
