Springsteen's "Santa Claus is Comin To Town"

I know by now you've probably heard this song a couple dozen times,but its one of those traditions and you'd miss it if never came on the radio anymore. Its more poignant now since we lost the "Big Man" earlier this year.  So it hurts a little to hear Bruce ask if Clarence's been "practicin'...Santa's gonna bring you a new saxophone" in the opening of the song.

The version of "Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town" that we hear on the radio was recorded at the December 12th 1975 concert at C. W. Post College.

Here's a few of the releases and the album cover artwork that has been used with the release of the single.  Lastly...its just a cool picture of Bruce in the winter sitting on an old Corvette.
