@Mariet469 Translate this into English if you're trying to get some sort of point across because I doubt anyone has a clue what any of this means! It makes absolutely no sense at all!
We could be related, not sure how he fits... however, am on heritage.com and have traced my relatives back to a Cornelius McAutry from Scotland... back in the 1800's
The Mc was dropped because it was too ethnic... funny, now people cannot get enough of their ethnicity...
Man i grew up with all these oldies but a goodies X-mas songs from my mother she use to have the Records and tapes every Christmas she bust them out and we all listen to them it is our family traditions ( still does ) , now you have CD's , Mp3 , i pods and Sirus XM Radios .
On Dec. 6, 1960, Hollywood legend Gene Autry was awarded the rights to put an American League franchise in Los Angeles.
The Singing Cowboy, who wrote Here Comes Santa Claus and recorded a No. 1 hit with Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, named his new club the Angels -- probably because Los Angeles means "the angels."
Three name changes, two new stadiums and one World Series title later, the Halos are still going strong in SoCal.
@beani24329 To answer you question, this is the original singer, He released it November 25th 1949. There have been many singers/bands to cover Rudolph.
@Eddy2730 According to Wikipedia, the song was released 11/25/49 and hit #1 the week of Christmas 1949. I had just turned 7 the month before, and was given the 78rpm recording as a gift.
@SEGAforlife I find it strange that a lot of the other versions miss the intro, from 0:00 to
0:22 . Most other versions start immediately from 0:23 !!! Even the Dean Martin version does the same! It's sad to change the lyrics of a song, especcially a very good one!! Do you know why this is happening??
I just watched the history of Christmas traditions on TV and Gene Autry didn't like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. He didn't want to do the song but his wife insisted that he record it. He put in the 'B' side of the record (apparently the side no one cared about). And it turned out to be the best selling single he ever had.
Thanks guys for all your help and suggestions. I bought my Gene Autry cd from Amazon. Ofcourse! Why didn't I think of them in the first place? But through this site I now also know about the Gene Autry museum and store. I've discovered too, that Gene Autry fans are a hell of a nice bunch of people. But ofcourse we are....we have a fine example in Gene himself.
PLEASE Gene Autry fans, can you help me? Where can I buy tapes or CD's of Gene Autry singing a wide selection of hristmas songs? When I was a child, I had a record called "Christmas Cracker". I miss that record so much. Oh I know I am just an old fashioned softy, but Christmas just isn't the same without Gene Autry. His version of Oh Little town of Bethlehem is awsome. PLEASE can anyone help me???
Actually written by Johnny Marks, a friend of Robert May.
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was created in 1939 for Montgomery Ward's department store in Chicago. Each child visiting the store received a copy of a booklet containing a poem about Rudolph written by Robert May. When May first wrote the poem the leading character was called Rollo. The name didn't quite work and he almost settled on Reggie before May's daughter suggested Rudolph, the name of her best friend.
i just recently fell in love with gene autry and burl ives because of my pappy ... it was funny when i realised that they sang songs like this (that were/are in the christmas clamation specails) that i grew up with....turns out that i loved them a lot longer than i knew i did
I have liked this recording since I first heard it. My mom bought the record in 1952, and my brother (third grade) took it to school one day. The record said, “Unbreakable”, so my brother wished to demonstrate this to his schoolmates. He took it out of the album and flung it on its edge to the ground. The record broke into a million pieces. Good bye Rudolph!
Johnny Marks, wrote the song. Though the song was turned down by such popular vocalists as Bing Crosby and Dinah Shore , it was recorded by the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was released in 1949 and became a phenomenal success, selling more records than any other Christmas song, with the exception of "White Christmas."
We put this song at FULL BLAST when my morbily gay nigger friends were having hardcore buttfucking gay nigger sex during the holiday season!
Oh my is it great to put the radio on 100.3 WNIC during the holiday season. Such a great station for morbidly gay niggers with highly orgasmic buttholes from the inner-city ghetto of Detroit to listen to during the holiday season!
This makes me think back to a time i wish i had back,but than i think that I need to count my blessings today and all God has done for me and all The Blessings still to come in my Life,one day I`ll be looking back to this day,wishing i had it back,Thank you Jesus.Im going to make this a christmas I`ll never forget
@ilililhy1 You said it! I also thank god for all he has done for me. Think of how much more he loves us than those "other" people--the ones who have died of cancer, emphysema, in fiery car crashes, you name it. Some people are born into extreme poverty, and know nothing but pure suffering. Others are born into great wealth. All because of the grace of god! Let us rejoice! Here, here! The chosen ones!
I got the kiddie Columbia label version just like the one you see on the right only on a 45 rpm with the RCA Victor 45 rpm record player--Christmas 1953. I absolutely love, love this song. You want to make me smile--just spin this song for me. It's still my favorite Christmas song and I have a 78 like the one on the right, another kiddie 45 plus 2 others, and 2 CDs. Still my favorite Christmas song of all time and I'm 61 years old--yeah, talk about young at heart!!
