African-Am
erican musicians Brook
Benton and Clyde Otis
collaborated on this
bluesy ballad in 1959.
Since then, the enduring
piece has been recorded
by iconic artists such as
Etta James and Ray
Charles. Verses present
sentimental snapshots of
Christmases past, and a
crooner melody paints a
warm holiday portrait.
Santa Claus is on his
way, loads of joy on his
sleigh, this time of the
year, when Christmas is
near.
