BURL IVES "RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER" CARTOON SOUNDTRACK (DECCA RECORDS)

I HAD ALREADY SHARED THIS AT MY CHILDREN'S BLOG, BUT FORGOT TO SHARE IT HERE ALSO:
BURL IVES "RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER" CARTOON SOUNDTRACK:

"Rudolph the Red–Nosed Reindeer is a long-running Christmas television special produced in stop motion animation by Rankin/Bass. It first aired December 6, 1964 on the NBC television network in the USA and was sponsored by General Electric. It is based on the song by Johnny Marks, and in turn taken from the 1939 poem of the same title written by Marks' brother-in-law, Robert L. May. Since 1972, the special has aired over CBS, who unveiled a high-definition, digitally remastered version in 2005.

In the story of Rudolph (voiced by Billie Mae Richards) numerous new characters are introduced for the first time as it was told by Romeo Muller. From the original song lyrics, the show features Santa (voiced by Stan Francis) and Mrs. Claus (who speaks with a vaguely Irish brogue) and the reindeer mentioned in the song. Of them, Donder is identified as Rudolph's father, and Comet is presented as the coach of the reindeer team. (Donder and Comet are voiced identically by Paul Kligman.)"
