BY FAR the most popular posting on this blog is “Kay Martin – Best Album Cover Ever!” It’s the cover of the album I Know What He Wants For Christmas... But I Don't Know How To Wrap It!. Considering the cover, I shouldn’t be surprised, but I am surprised, considering it contains NO INFORMATION AT ALL, except the cover. To give you what you want for Christmas, here is the Wikipedia entry on Ms. Martin:
“Kay Martin was a hotelier and ex-model, nightclub entertainer and "party album" singer, who owned the Kay Martin Lodge in Reno, Nevada.Born in Bakersfield, California and part Cherokee Indian, modeling saw her featured in both Adam and Playboy magazines. She then met Jess Hotchkiss and Bill Elliott, who together established a nightclub act, billing themselves as "Kay Martin and Her Body Guards". The group later added Tony Bellson on drums, and Martin became married to Hotchkiss for a time as well.
In between shows they recorded several live albums, their most popular being the 1962 Christmas album I Know What He Wants For Christmas... But I Don't Know How To Wrap It!. The songs ranged from covers of traditional songs to double entendre and jokey banter.
Martin left performance for a business life, becoming proprietor of the Kay Martin Lodge with David Mullins in 1956, before passing away sometime between 2008-2011.”
Here is a link to A FREE MP3 DOWNLOAD of the album! http://thegroovegrotto.blogspot.com
Now that I have given you a link to a free download of a risqué novelty Christmas record, you can read the blog below and see that I am A TOTAL HYPOCRITE!
Anyway, MERRY X-MAS! (Let’s keep Christ’s good name out of this!)
