Happy Birthday!......

 Frosty the Snowman is a popular song witten by Walter Rollins and Steve Nelson. The first recording was by Gene Autry in 1950 the year after Rudolph was recorded. Frosty was adapted to other media such as books, and a television special. The song was originally titled "Frosty the Snow Man".

Frosty the Snow Man is a song about a snowman who came to life one day, when some kids put a hat on him. Frosty has fun playing around with the kids, until the sun gets to warm for him. He is forced to leave,  telling the kids he will be back again someday.

Little Golden Books published Frosty the Snow Man, in 1950. It was adapted by Annie North Bedford and illustrated by Corinne Malvern.

In 1969 a thirty-one minute animated TV special of Frosty was air. It featured the voices of Jimmy Durante as the narrator, Jackie Vernon as the title character. Also Paul frees and Jun Foray voice characters in this stop-motion animated special. This movie was based on the discovery of how Frosty came about.
