Gustav Winckler - Julemand'n Er Kommet til By'n

Gustav Winckler (1925 - 1979):
JULEMAND'N ER KOMMET TIL BY'N

This is the Danish version of "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town", which was written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie, and was first sung on Eddie Cantor's radio show in November 1934. It became an instant hit with orders for 100,000 copies of sheet music the next day and over 400,000 copies sold by Christmas. The song is often used to tell children that Santa knows when they've been bad or good and that they should be good. The Danish version is written by Henrik H. Lund.

Gustav Winckler was a popular Danish singer, composer and music publisher. He is widely considered the best Danish crooner ever, and was often compared to Bing Crosby. In 1957 after qualifying in "Dansk Melodi Grand Prix" to represent Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest, he participated in Eurovision Song Contest 1957 where he sung "Skibet skal sejle i nat" ("The ship is leaving tonight") with Birthe Wilke. They ranked number 3, and stunned television audiences with a 13-second long kiss at the end of their performance. Winckler died in a car accident in 1979.
