Wonderland Burlesque's The 12 Days Before Xmas: Day Eleven / Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin' - Albert King

Wonderland Burlesque's
The 12 Days Before Xmas: Day Eleven
Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin' - Albert King

The man in red contributes so much to the season... who are we to deny him his one request?

Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin' is a song written by Mack Rice and recorded by blues guitarist Albert King, It was released as a single by Stax Records in 1974.

King, who was known for always playing his signature Gibson Flying V guitar, named 'Lucy', began a long and lucrative association with Stax Records, where he enjoyed his greatest commercial successes. Nicknamed 'The Velvet Bulldozer' because of his smooth singing and large size (he was reportedly 6' 4" or 6' 7", weighing in at 250 lbs.) and because he drove a bulldozer at one of his day jobs early in his career.

He sure does bulldoze he way through this song - so raw and sensual - even I'm tempted to give Santa some of my special milk and cookies!

Not to be confused with BB. Off topic, but have you heard 'Cadillac Assembly line'? This dude was the quintessence.
