After reading Kyle's last post I realized there was an easy extension that would combine both his and my last posts - Christmas soul music. Many great soul artists and groups have released Christmas music over the years (not all of it living up to the group's reputation). These songs have been featured on albums and also in many Christmas soul compilations that are available.

I decided to put together a little Christmas soul sampler of some of the better songs. Some of the them are old Christmas standards redone in a soulful way (see The Temptations) and others are original holiday songs (see Clarence Carter, though it barely qualifies as a Christmas song). Please enjoy this little compilation as a way to put a little soul into your Christmas and get your body and soul moving.

1. Otis Redding - Merry Christmas Baby

2. Clarence Carter - Back Door Santa

3. Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Jingle Bells

4. Donny Hathaway - This Christmas

5. The Temptations - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

6. James Brown - Funky Christmas

7. Charles Brown - Please Come Home For Christmas

8. Stevie Wonder - What Christmas Means To Me

9. The Temptations - Silver Bells
