The most notable singer of the song was Gene Autry (The Singing Cowboy) back in 1949. Since the song was written in 1949, I assume he was the first person to record it, and it is this version that is heard many times during the Christmas season. But, as with many Christmas songs, this song has be sung by many others, including Perry Como and Burl Ives (from the TV special of the same name, where he sang "Holly Jolly Christmas, which was written by the same man that wrote "Rudolph")
