Last week, I started the story of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," taking the song from being written by Haven Gillespie and J. Fred Coots, to the first version by banjo player/bandleader Harry Reser, to the version that popularized the song by Eddie Cantor.
This week, the song grows up with the help of Phil Spector, The Crystals, and Bruce Springsteen.
