Clarence Carter: Back Door Santa

It’s funky Friday, holiday style! Clarence Carter dropped the perfect holiday funk tune in 1968. “Back Door Santa” is a stone cold funk groove with jaw-dropping double-entendre lyrics and a vocal performance that rivals the best of all Carter’s recordings. And, yes, this is the song sampled by Run-DMC.
