Does anyone know a version of "Santa Claus is coming to town" by a male blues singer (maybe New Orleans?). The one I'm trying to find is barely intelligible, the voice is gruff and the singing is loose and slurred. Any ideas?

Fats Domino?

Could well be Joseph Spence, but I'm only guessing.

There's a CD with a load of blues christmas songs, but it doesn't have that one. It has Eddie C. Campbell's 'Santa's messin' with the kid' though: 'Blue Yule' Rhino R2 70568.

Gee that was a demo from my daughter on how to do blue clicety things we weren't supposed to send that message.

Leadbelly does a great one, my daughter's favorite Christmas song, Christmas is a Comin'.

Koko Taylor did "Merry Merry Christmas" which was featured in the movie "While You Were Sleeping" a few years ago.
