To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Gene Autry's "Frosty the Snow Man" Columbia Records recording, Gene Autry Entertainment commissioned his official biographer Holly George-Warren to write about its history.
When America’s Favorite Cowboy Gene Autry segued from Western hitmaker into holiday magic maker, character-driven songs became his forte – via such beloved subjects as Santa Claus in 1947, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1949, and in 1950, Frosty the Snow Man.

That first year of a new decade was monumental for Gene. By 1950, his massive fanbase had expanded from his first generation of admirers who’d been watching his films and buying his records since the 1930s to a new crop of devotees: Following World War II, the children of his original audience fell in love with the singing cowboy’s movies and weekly CBS radio program. Then he captured even more fans with his brand-new TV show that debuted in 1950, a line of Gene Autry comic books, and, of course, his recordings. That spring, he’d scored another holiday hit with the Easter-themed song, “Peter Cottontail.” Soon after, the catchy number’s songwriters – Steve Nelson and Walter E. “Jack” Rollins – presented to Gene a new holiday classic: “Frosty the Snow Man.” Originally spelled “Snow Man” on its sheet music and the record’s picture sleeve – but today usually spelled Snowman – the song would be the fourth holiday smash forever associated with Gene Autry.
