@@sancho714sa Of course key word is "was". This is from my childhood, or before. Edit: I'm 67. Young at heart but the years don't care. At least some of the music lives on. L8r.
If this song with Gene singing it doesn't take ya back to your childhood and Christmas I don't know what would! Best version ever! Rest in Peace Mr Autry, you brought a lot of joy to kids and adults alike!
He didnt want to record it, his wife persuaded him. The song was written by Robert L May , an Ad writer, hisvwife was dying from cancer and he couldnt afford a gift for his 4yr old child Barbara. Well the book took off, made him a millionaire.
Here I am, writing Christmas cards at midnight and listening to this. To whoever is reading this, no matter who you are, I respect you and I love you. I hope you have a wonderful night and remember that god loves you. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
*Lord, give me strength, to be able to overcome every adversity in my life, in my home, in my family... always take care of and protect my children, my husband, and my entire family, 🙏🙏.. thank you Lord I also give you for every, food, and day that you give us and give us... amen 🙏🙏🙏*
What this song made me realize as a kid is, people will ridicule you and treat you bad for being different, and only like you when what made you different is actually useful.
I guess you never heard me sing this song. All that would do is to increase your sentiment on this tune, as I sing like a cross between Ethel Merman and Mick Jagger. I know, try to picture it, ... and that's being sober!
I love this version so much! This song is so incredibly happy but this version especially just makes me want to smile and be happy. He sounds so upbeat and cheery
Check out the lyrics below. You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say “Rudolph, with your nose so bright Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history” Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say “Rudolph, with your nose so bright Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” Then how the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history”
Lots of Versions of this but Gene is the king and queen in all of it so timeless for a song over 75years like his others.Im feeling old over my 40s says alot the age and era woe.Happy Holidays to all over Our World enjoy
The following story about our famous reindeer was recopied and posted! You'll love this ... Merry Christmas to all.....As the holiday season of 1938 came to Chicago, Bob May wasn’t feeling much comfort or joy. A 34-year-old ad writer for Montgomery Ward, May was exhausted and nearly broke. His wife, Evelyn, was bedridden, on the losing end of a two-year battle with cancer. This left Bob to look after their four-year old-daughter, Barbara. One night, Barbara asked her father, “Why isn’t my mommy like everybody else’s mommy?” As he struggled to answer his daughter’s question, Bob remembered the pain of his own childhood. A small, sickly boy, he was constantly picked on and called names. But he wanted to give his daughter hope, and show her that being different was nothing to be ashamed of. More than that, he wanted her to know that he loved her and would always take care of her. So he began to spin a tale about a reindeer with a bright red nose who found a special place on Santa’s team. Barbara loved the story so much that she made her father tell it every night before bedtime. As he did, it grew more elaborate. Because he couldn’t afford to buy his daughter a gift for Christmas, Bob decided to turn the story into a homemade picture book. In early December, Bob’s wife died. Though he was heartbroken, he kept working on the book for his daughter. A few days before Christmas, he reluctantly attended a company party at Montgomery Ward. His co-workers encouraged him to share the story he’d written. After he read it, there was a standing ovation. Everyone wanted copies of their own. Montgomery Ward bought the rights to the book from their debt-ridden employee. Over the next six years, at Christmas, they gave away six million copies of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer to shoppers. Every major publishing house in the country was making offers to obtain the book. In an incredible display of good will, the head of the department store returned all rights to Bob May. Four years later, Rudolph had made him into a millionaire. Now remarried with a growing family, May felt blessed by his good fortune. But there was more to come. His brother-in-law, a successful songwriter named Johnny Marks, set the uplifting story to music. The song was pitched to artists from Bing Crosby on down. They all passed. Finally, Marks approached Gene Autry. The cowboy star had scored a holiday hit with “Here Comes Santa Claus” a few years before. Like the others, Autry wasn’t impressed with the song about the misfit reindeer. Marks begged him to give it a second listen. Autry played it for his wife, Ina. She was so touched by the line “They wouldn’t let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games” that she insisted her husband record the tune. Within a few years, it had become the second best-selling Christmas song ever, right behind “White Christmas.” Since then, Rudolph has come to life in TV specials, cartoons, movies, toys, games, coloring books, greeting cards and even a Ringling Bros. circus act. The little red-nosed reindeer dreamed up by Bob May and immortalized in song by Johnny Marks has come to symbolize Christmas as much as Santa Claus, evergreen trees and presents. As the last line of the song says, “He’ll go down in history. "Merry Christmas to all .....
They played this song every day on loud speakers at Christmas time of 1949 at the orphanage..always remembered this Christmas song it was up lifting even today…
A wonderful timeless "sing-along masterpiece by the one and only Gene Autry, himself. This would be one of the original versions of "Rudolph the red nosed reindeer". Gene Autry has sung for many children during his lifetime and this song brought the children a lot of joy during Christmas and this one sticks really fresh to this day with popularity. It simply is Christmas music one can admire a lot more then anything you would hear today. This is what you really need to hear during every Christmas holiday. Merry Christmas!!!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
The song is perfection. He is thee only recoding artist in the world to have had 3 number one Christmas songs..nobody will ever touch him in original lyrics for Christmas ever...every musician in the world says writing an original Christmas song that becomes a hit is almost impossible. Paul McCartney barely got by with his song...he is the king of humble..he just said it was too hard.. Most Christmas songs are regurgitated songs from the early 1900s..I love Andy Williams..Bing Crosby...and Perry Como
I use to sing this song Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer along with Frosty the Snowman in flag ceremony after Lupang Hinirang during Panatang Makabayan and Ako ay Pilipino
First heard this song when I was a little boy and immediately fell in love with it for Gene Autry was as well my favorite cowboy TV western show then as well. 74 years young still at this song I come undone. Merry Christmass, happy Hanukah and a happy New Year to all. Oh by the way I recall when television first aired Christmass stuff it was spelled with two ss's. Christmass
When my sisters and I were little we had this Disney Christmas Singalong vhs and this was what introduced me to this classic holiday hit by this artist.
It's officially the day after remembrance day in Canada, and that means it's officially the start of the Christmas season. This is my first song of the year, and I must say I couldn't have picked a better song!
i LOVED THIS SONG AND gENE IS WHO i GREW UP LISTENING TO HIM ON THE RECORD mY RECORD WAS A BIG 78 AT THAT TIME AND THE RECORD WAS COLORED red and on the other side was a song he sung called Santas work shop I still have the record I would play it over and over
It was my husbands' also. He loved gene Autry. He passed away after 50 yrs of marriage last year b4 Thanksgiving. This be only 2nd Christmas he in heaven. This song will always me a memory from him .And my childhood also. Merry Christmas to you.
Did you know this song came out I'm 1949. And it is the #4 top selling Christmas song of all time. #3 is Mariah Careys All I Want for Christmas is You #2 is Bing Crosby version of Silent Night. And the biggest selling Christmas song of all time is #1 White Christmas by Bing Crosby also came out in 1949
Listening to this on November I SERIOUSLY NEED CHRISTMAS NOW !!!!!

The best!
If this song with Gene singing it doesn't take ya back to your childhood and Christmas I don't know what would! Best version ever! Rest in Peace Mr Autry, you brought a lot of joy to kids and adults alike!

WHY IS THERE ONLY 4 LIKES COME ON GUYS
What this song made me realize as a kid is, people will ridicule you and treat you bad for being different, and only like you when what made you different is actually useful.
Think of it as a talent or a gift from God. ☺
Absofrekinglutely!
A lot of truth in that
real
Especially when you become useful to the boss.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY can sing this carol better than him.
I guess you never heard me sing this song. All that would do is to increase your sentiment on this tune, as I sing like a cross between Ethel Merman and Mick Jagger. I know, try to picture it, ... and that's being sober!
I agree
Burl Ives: hold my nog
For anyone who is curious, this came out in the late 1940s.
Its sad I never got the meet gene. My grandmother was related to him. Maybe if he was alive I could have met him.
That's awesome, thank you, I was wondering how old this song was
Actually - December 1949.
Oop-
Thanks for all the comments guys, really appreciate it.
We need to bring Christmas spirit back to America
Who can't help but sing along when this comes on?
I can feel the Christmas cheer flowing through every note of this song!
I was 4 years old when Gene recorded this. It isn't Christmas with out hearing him do it at least once. Merry Christmas!
Missing Santa
Dude your like 80 now 😢
I love this version so much! This song is so incredibly happy but this version especially just makes me want to smile and be happy. He sounds so upbeat and cheery
Check out the lyrics below.
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
“Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You’ll go down in history”
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
“Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You’ll go down in history”
"DONNER" was "RUDOLPH'S" father!!!!.

Some people say All I want for Christmas is the quintessential Christmas song. Those people are wrong. This is the best Christmas song
