Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer has always been 1 of my favorite Christmas songs. However there aren't many versions of the song I like. But Burl Ives performance of Rudolph is fantastic. This version is slower and longer than the version from the TV show featured on the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer soundtrack. But this version is still up tempo and very well sung. Unfortunately too many artists ruin this song by trying to make their renditions too much their own. Dean Martin refers to Rudolph as "Rudy" in a few lines of the song and Jewel performs this song in a horribly slow and dragged out manner. Burl Ives sings this song the way it's supposed to be sung and keeps it at that and that's why Burl Ives performances of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer are the best versions of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer that exist.

Just had to have the original sung by Burl Ives - any other version just isn't the same. So had a trip down memory lane, and very happy memories they were.

Love this song. Brings back so many childhood Christmas memories.
I listened to both the Gene Autry version and this Burl Ives version and
really liked this one much better. It's more up-beat with a slightly faster tempo.

I was actually looking for the version of "Rudolph" that starts with the intro heard in the 1964 TV show of the same name. I thought this was it, but it turned out that it wasn't. It's still a good rendition of "Rudolph" though.

I was missing the old christmas carrols I grew up on. These brought back so many delightful childhood memories for me. I was lucky to find them by the original recording artists

That song was picked up by none other than the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. It sold more than 25 million copies and paved the way for the classic Rankin/Bass stop-animation film. Thanks to Rudolph, Robert May's family was taken care of financially through the end of his life and beyond.
