@theholidayhistorian: Gene Autry, known as the Christmas Cowboy, helped make three songs into timeless holiday favorites: - 1947: “Here Comes Santa Claus” — inspired by a Hollywood Christmas parade. - 1949: “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” — became his biggest-selling recording. - 1950: “Frosty the Snow Man” — another beloved Christmas classic. Gene Autry's Cowboy Christmas+2 Fun Christmas history fact: Gene initially passed on recording “Rudolph,” but his wife Ina encouraged him to reconsider.
