First time I heard this song I was three and our dance teacher had us do a "tap dance" to this song. It only consisted of us stomping around in circles and smiling a lot, but this song brings back a lot of good holiday memories. :)
For all that say! or have said! Otis can't sing,listen to him right after Eddie,he sings the part (The most famous reindeer of all!) Otis is smooth as Eddie but with a deeper tone and that's why Otis was what he was within the group, the glue of the Background vocals and knew his place in the group and what his specialty was and still to this day IS!~The most Famous Background singer of all!! LOL!~
@BroMan0282 Otis is alive and well! all the other Original Temptations are dead! And Dennis Edwards is still alive and performing as well as Otis ,saw them last year this time ,and Believe me when i tell you! The Man is still Moving like a 30 year old and in his 70's ,i was shocked how well he performed and The Temptations are still some singing Brothers believe that!
I notice the background vocals was left off on this recording.to me the background is a big part of this song.really gives a strong spring board for eddie's vocals to really stand out. the song still is great,but with the background vocals,it's even better.
This is my favorite version of this song,by far. no one can sing this like the temps. grew up dancing to this song at christmas time.vocals are so smooth.
I love this song. I was raised up on it and I raised my daughter on it. It is so positive and we kids, learned a lot from it. Born in Canrini Green in Chicago, we needed this motivation.
In case you're interested, The people who created the Raisins' version of Rudolph, have put it in "A Claymation Christmas" DVD, from the 1984 show, available for about $21 from Amazon. (I ordered one for me and three for relatives.)

@nellybirdc LMAO!!!! HEY SHOOTOFF!!!! (definetely the best part) I work at K Mart n they play this on the tracklist.. So i made that up at work one night and now its legendary HAHAHA
@Mrsporsha911 My second sentence from my first comment states that I MADE that up lol.. Of course it's "Hey Rudolph!!" But "Hey Shootoff!!" was the joke.. BTW this has got to be the best Rudolph song ever!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY
Can someone tell me the what was the name of christmas animated video they were in as grapes? I seriously want to see this again but cant begin to wonder where to look for it
@psychoptimist It's from "A Claymation Christmas" and they were the California Raisins. I don't know if you can buy it anywhere. I have it because my mom taped it onto a VHS cassette in the mid 80s and I still watch it around Christmas.
There seems to be parts of this song missing. What happened to the bass part on the chorus ? Every version I hear online is like this. Is there a back story or am I trippin ?No I'm not trippin... there are parts stripped out. What happened ?
Still as good to me today as it was 30 or 40 years ago...My sisters and I would sing sing sing it, and Now, my kids can sing it with me....What fun! Merry Christmas everyone...Merry Merry Christmas!
I heard this song years ago in a California Raisins Christmas special and they were lip syncing this version and I've been looking for this version ever since. It was smooth and very nice.
Unbelieveable I rate this as not just a Christmas favorite but it stands on its own amongst all their other work. Eddie kills this song.. the chous slammin'n. Reminds me of listening to WVON or my father's station WSDM.
I LOVE this version best of all.. see this is why you cant give Black Folk copy rights to a classic song...UNLESS you want it Done FULL OF SOUL...lol...NObody can Jazz up a bland song like us...lol.. (i do hate it when certain songs get messed up like the Star Spangled Banner-except for Marvin Gaye's version)
I like the Jackson 5 version better. Sorry, just can't get into it and I usually like everything by the Temtations. Their version of Silent Night is nice.
this is the best version of this song that has ever been recorded. the tempts can make any song sound soulful.what a groove this song has. merry christmas.
thanks Dennis this email is a great gift I love it and I know everyone who visits our website enjoys it as much as I do. Butch
