Gene Autry certainly had a way with the ladies...

Hi! Dr. Ken, I suppose you know that Gene wrote the words to Rudolph the red nosed reindeer? He was a good singer too. Bye for now, Aussie Jenny.

Dr. Ken said...

AussieJenny -- Actually, the words for "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" were written by Robert L May in 1939, originally just as a poem. They were put to music by Johnny Marks in 1947. Gene Autrey sang and recorded it and it went to #1 and has been a Christmas staple since 1949.
So AussieJenney was correct in that Gene Autrey was in some way connected to the song, but she has a spanking coming for spreading false information about the lyrics. 😉

Sorry everyone!!! I can’t remember where Igot my information from, maybe a radio station? I can’t think of it as a poem though, it doesn’t even hardly rhyme. By for now, Aussie Jenny. P.S you are just too smart Dr. Ken.

Dr. Ken said...

AussieJenny -- As a guess, I'm thinking you remembered that Gene was the singer on the original recording and then assumed there was another connection to the sang, i.e., the lyrics. Or possibly, as you say, you heard someone else say it and believed it to be true. Either way--bottoms up, young lady!

I remembered that Gene Autrey was the original singer of the song, but didn't remember him having any other connection than that, so I went searching on the internet and found the information. So we probably started from the same point, but went different ways with the information.

Like Jenny I did hear the same information that he had written the song and played it on his radio show.I did also hear that he did get royalties for it.Thanks for the clarification.he was indeed a singing spanking cowboy.I loved the first one in which Gail Davis says she needs a spanking and she said almost the same line in the Cisco Kid( after an earlier spanking.I loved the last one and there was a publicity still around too that I enjoyed.Great finds.thank you and enjoy your day.

Jim -- I might have to let AussieJenny off the hook, then. LOL And for the first picture, there's nothing like a woman saying, "I wouldn't blame you if you spanked me."
