In 1965 a lot of people lifted the top on their console stereo and put that brand new Buck Owens Christmas 45 on the turntable. It was a new Christmas song 50 years ago and it was fun! 'Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy' is one of those relatively 'new' songs for the season that has brought smiles to people young and old for decades. Buck and his Buckaroo colleague Don Rich wrote the song and it was a huge holiday hit. And it didn't just fade away.
