Subject: RE: Today is Rudolf's birthday - 3rd Nov From: JennieG Date: 03 Nov 07 - 08:12 PM I hope so! imagine being compelled to spend your life pulling a fat man in a red suit around the world...... Who was the original singer? my memory says Gene Autry? that song was very much part of my childhood. Cheers JennieG |

Subject: RE: Today is Rudolf's birthday - 3rd Nov From: GUEST,Norval Date: 04 Nov 07 - 05:37 PM JennieG: I would like to disagree, as 51 years ago would place the release in 1956. Rudolph in story form goes back to 1939. If you are refering to the Gene Autry recording of Rudolph, various sites on the internet state it was recorded on June 27, 1949 in Hollywood and released September 01, 1949. Perhaps in 1956 it was a cartoon or movie release or recorded by some other artist. Don't think I will buy a birthday cake. |

Subject: RE: Today is Rudolf's birthday - 3rd Nov From: JennieG Date: 04 Nov 07 - 06:02 PM I was just going by what I read, I can't help it if folks don't give me the right information! *grin* I have a copy of the sheet music - not the original, I bought it about 20 or so years ago - it would have a copyright date. When I have time I will dig it out. The words and dots are printed in green and while it looks very Christmassy it is difficult to read. Don't know whose bright idea that was. Cheers JennieG |
