Shakin’ Stevens, also known as Shaky, is the ‘Welsh Elvis’ . A rock n roll/ pop singer who was the biggest selling UK chart act of the1980’s but with only moderate success in Europe and almost unheard of elsewhere.
This song still gets a huge amount of seasonal airplay, full of cliches and sleigh bells but mostly harmless.
i remember when network television in the US had several holiday specials and you singing this song would have fir eight into the schedule. the only welsh acts i know are tom jones and catatonia, and i like this song a lot so am going to see if shaky has anything on youtube. elvis is the foundation of american rock and roll, so i am eager to hear how a welsh elvis sounds…i just saw the video for shaky doing this song. he has the looks for a welsh elvis, but not the voice. sounds more like the bee gees. but i like your song, and i like your version better.
