25 Songs of Christmas, Day 19: The Temptations, “Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer”

Here at Soul In Stereo, we’re counting down to Christmas by featuring our favorite holiday tracks. Here’s today’s Christmas classic:

I’ll admit, I’m not a big fan of this song in general. Most renditions are way too cartoony and over the top for me to handle. Leave it to The Temptations to truly do this song justice. They keep the lighthearted energy and load it up with tons of soul.

Shout out to Marcellus Andrew Dawson for sharing this soul standard.
