Had a very shiny nose (like a lightbulb).

"Rudolph" was a poem created the advertising department of Montgomery Ward & Company in 1939. It came out as a children's book and sold millions of copies. Johnny Marks rewrote it as a song, and Gene Autry recorded it in 1950. It was Autry's biggest hit.

Hey, people like the song, so why not sing it? I sing "Frosty the Snowman" in our two-song Gene Autry Christmas set, too.
