El soul y el funk circulaban a borbotones por sus venas hasta el dia de navidad de hace apenas unos pocos años. Ritmo, energía y vitalidad eran la base con la que James Brown logró encandilar a varias generaciones de blancos y negros. Todos y por igual sintieron la autenticidad de un hombre que se ganó a pulso, y con el sudor de su música, numerosos apodos. "Soul Brother Number One", "Mr. Dynamite", "Universal James" o "the Godfather of Soul" (El Padrino del Soul), son algunos de ellos, legitimando un legado de seis décadas de pura y genuina esencia musical. Él es todo un clásico, como también lo son por estas fechas los aires de nostalgia y buenos deseos que nebulizan nuestro hábitat, y nos acompañan por nuestras ciudades y pueblos. Es el llamado "espíritu navideño", que no siempre tiene que ser tranquilo y moderado..., para ello contamos -como no- con la música de James Brown y esta canción de la década de los sesenta, "Soulful Christmas".
Ritmo, energía, soul, funk y buenos deseos..., poco más se puede pedir para el año 2012 que está al caer. La música siempre nos acompañará, estemos o no presentes, y esta música tildada de color negro es eterna y universal, por lo que aunque nuestros dias estan contados..., siempre sentiremos su aliento y presencia.

I ain't talkin' just to tease
People like you, you don't grow on dreams
Look at you, that's what it's gonna be
Have everything I need
Around my soul book Christmas tree
Merry Christmas, happy New Year
I love you, have good cheer
I love you, good God
Got my baby, my precious love
Happiness, good God, I got plenty of
Would you believe I got peace of mind
And I'll be groovin' at Christmas time
Merry Christmas, happy New Year
May you have a good cheer
I love you, James Brown love you
Your luck is so and so, missin' you
Brother love
Soulful Christmas like a sweet melody
I'm a lucky you so and so
The bells gonna ring for me
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
To all of my fans, have a good cheer
I love you, I love you, won't take nobody else
I can't stand myself, huh, good God
I got a heart full of love for the whole wide world
And a little special love, my little soulful girl
I got this feelin' every, every night and then
Gotta get ready, bring the New Year in
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
All good cheer, there's one more thing
You've been so nice to me down through the years
And I'll always remember you, well, I'll never forget
You bought my records, come to see my show
That's why James Brown love you so
You come to see my show
That's a debt that I'll always owe
Come to see my show, see you at Christmas
Come to see my show, see my show
People like you, you don't grow on dreams
Look at you, that's what it's gonna be
Have everything I need
Around my soul book Christmas tree
Merry Christmas, happy New Year
I love you, have good cheer
I love you, good God
Got my baby, my precious love
Happiness, good God, I got plenty of
Would you believe I got peace of mind
And I'll be groovin' at Christmas time
Merry Christmas, happy New Year

I love you, James Brown love you
Your luck is so and so, missin' you
