Description

Gene Autry (au); Oakley Haldeman (au); Bruce Whatley (il). Gene Autry wrote & recorded “Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)” in 1947. He was at a Christmas parade where he heard some children repeating “Here Comes Santa Claus!” over & over. Autry was inspired by the joyful anticipation behind their words to jot down the first draft of a song. He brought his notes to Oakley Haldeman, then head of his music pub. co., & they completed the song together -- little suspecting that it would become a Christmas classic. Autry’s first holiday recording was an immediate hit, & it grew in popularity until in 1998 it was voted one of the top holiday songs of the 20th cent by ASCAP. Artist Whatley has created a curious North Pole puppy who stows away on Santa’s sleigh for an unforgettable Christmas Eve adventure.
