Santa Claus makes his singing debut on "You've Got To Believe" to be released on November 15, 2005.

October 5, 2005 - North Pole - He's been making toys and visits around the world for centuries but who knew Santa Claus could also make music! Santa recently took a much-needed break from his toy making duties and traveled with Mrs. Claus and Rudolph to Nashville, Tennessee to record "You've Got To Believe." "I've been making toys forever but I secretly always wanted to record an album. When I'm not working, Mrs. Claus and I like to sing karaoke!" Santa is joined on the album by an impressive group of musicians who jumped at the chance to work with the "Man In Red." Rounding out Santa's band, The Toymakers are: Charlie Morgan (Elton John, Paul McCartney) on drums; Dennis Burnside (Garth Brooks, Martina McBride) on piano; Robbi Calvo (who was awarded "Best guitarist in England") on guitar and James Cook (Sony Recording Artist) on bass. An avid Elvis Presley fan, Santa recruited Elvis' original background singers The Jordanaires and Millie Kirkham to sing on several songs including the beautiful "Blue Christmas".

"You Got To Believe", which was produced by Caesar Cirigliano (Billy Dean) in Nashville, features Santa singing ten Christmas favorites including: "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Blue Christmas," originally made popular by Elvis; Elton's John's rocking "Step Into Christmas;" "Bing Crosby's perennial classic "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas;" and the holiday favorites "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Holly Jolly Christmas," "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," "Jingle Bell Rock," and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas." Last but not least is the soon-to-be Christmas classic "You Got To Believe in Me" which Santa co-wrote with his elf John Tumminello. "When I travel across the world, I meet so many people who have lost the Christmas spirit" Santa said "We wrote this song to help people rediscover that magical feeling of being young at heart."

Always one to help others and bring the magic of Christmas to the world, Santa is donating a portion of the proceeds to several worthy charities. "Most of us live very blessed and fortunate lives, we should always take time to help our neighbors in need" said Santa.

In addition to visiting malls and chimneys around the world, Santa has appeared on several television programs including "Late Night With David Letterman" and "Good Morning America." He will be making personal appearances this holiday season at ABC Home & Carpet in Manhattan on weekends from Thanksgiving to Christmas. He also will be making several appearances to promote "You've Got To Believe" which will be released on three minute records on November 15, 2005 and is available at www.cdbaby.com.
