Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer first appeared in 1939 when Montgomery Ward department store in Chicago asked one of its copywriters, 34-year-old Robert L. May , to create a Christmas story the store could give away to shoppers as a promotional gimmick.

May ’s brother-in-law, songwriter Johnny Marks , decided to adapt the story of Rudolph into song.

Marks ’ musical version of Rudolph was recorded by Gene Autry in 1949 .
