It’s our Countdown to Christmas where some of your favorite KKSM personalities share with us their favorite holiday tunes. Rich Appel, host of that thing, writes:
Clearly influenced by one of the best holiday collections ever – Phil Spector’s A Christmas Gift to You – Elton and producer Gus Dudgeon may have outdone Phil and company during one wall-of-sound-channeling session, producing this now-Christmas classic. Probably didn’t hurt that it was recorded in the wake of what many called Elton’s best album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. “Step” is a staple of the Chestnut Cabaret!
Rich Appel is the host of that thing every Saturday from 2-5pm on KKSM. that thing is a throwback to the good old days of top-down, Top 40 boss radio that you know and love. Broadcasting live from the Chesnut Cabaret, that thing brings you songs, jingles, trivia, and more. For more, visit thatthingshow.com
