Merry Christmas to you and yours. Augie Rios was an American singer-actor born to Puerto Rican parents. He was quite the child star in the last 1950s and his repertoire included this unusual number. ‘Dónde Está Santa Claus?’ was released as a single in 1958 and I don’t recall hearing it too often. That’s a rare thing for a Christmas single and should be rejoiced. Rios also did a pretty good job at nailing the Buddy-Holly-come-Christmas schtick for a 12 year old.
