Another modern-day animated video, this time it’s the Father of Rock n Roll delivering Christmas presents in a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible being pulled by flying reindeer. Chuck Berry’s classic Christmas song was first released in 1958, peaking at #69 on the Billboard chart that year.
“Run, Rudolph, Run” has been used in many Christmas movies to help create a sense of nostalgia and excitement. The song has entered the Billboard charts three times, finally reaching #10 in late 2020. It took 62 years for the song to reach the Top 10; that’s a record!
One the great Chuck Berry tunes!
Can you believe a black man got cheated out of royalties on a popular song by the music industry?
OH yes 100% believe that! So many should be ashamed of themselves in both the music and film industry. When I started painting I decided to sign mine E. Miller so they could not figure out if it was a male female who painted it as men sold more 🙂
I wish Chuck were still alive to see his song reach the Top 10.
