Who is Frosty The Snowman?
Posted on July 24, 2020
The question is not so much "Who" is Frosty the Snowman. A better question is "When" was Frosty the Snowman.
It is one of the enduring Christmas songs we all love to sing. But did you know that this song was first recorded in the 1950s by Gene Autry? Written by Steve Nelson and Walter Rollins, the song speaks about a snow man that came magically to life when he was made to wear a magical hat. The song has since been recorded by other artists including such notables as Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Ray Conniff, and Bing Crosby.
Soon Frosty became the subject of a 1954 movie; a 1969 TV special starring the voices of Jackie Vernon and Jimmy Durante; and a 1950 book written by Annie Bedford with illustrations by Corinne Malvern, but the best indicator that it was such a hit was that it stayed in popular culture even after more than 60 years.
Every year at Christmas time, revelers sing "Frosty the Snowman." It has become part of every caroler's repertoire and a song that most children and adults know by heart. And why not? The song speaks of jolly adventures by Frosty and the kids, a theme that is closely reminiscent of Christmas.
Is it any wonder that Frosty has become one of the truly enduring Christmas icons?
