ZVUE! MP3 Download Exclusive
San Francisco based salty soulful Jazz singer Jacqui Naylor, wrote the cool Christmas ditty, Christmas Ain't What It Used To Be with Art Khu and put it on a bonus Holiday CD bundled with her new CD, Shelter. I received the CD in my SF Virgin MegaStore VIP press bag, listened to song and thought it should be shared with the world. So, after two e-mails, we had Jacqui's permission to rip the tune and upload an MP3 to the popular independent site, SoundClicks (NOTE: 1) Download MP3 from Sounclicks onto your hard drive. 2) Upload the song file to the ZVUE! through your USB cable.)
Within 24 hours, Christmas Ain't What It Used To Be, was number 45 on SoundClicks Jazz Vocals Chart.
