The story goes that <strong>Bill Adler<\/strong> (Def Jam\u2019s publicist at the time) brought a crate of Christmas records to <strong>JMJ<\/strong>, looking for inspiration. <strong>Jay<\/strong> dropped the needle on <strong>Clarence Carter\u2019s<\/strong> 1968 track &#8220;<strong>Back Door Santa<\/strong>,&#8221; and as soon as that funky horn riff kicked in, he knew they had a winner.
