Buddy Bear TV Here Comes Santa Claus

The song "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" was written by J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie. It was first introduced by Eddie Cantor on his radio show in November 1934. The song quickly gained popularity and has since become a holiday classic.

The story behind the creation of the song goes like this: Coots and Gillespie were commissioned to write a Christmas song by Leo Feist, a music publisher. They were given the task of creating a festive and catchy tune to be performed on Cantor's radio show. According to the legend, Haven Gillespie was inspired by his own child asking whether Santa Claus was real and when he was coming to visit. This inspired the lyrics, and J. Fred Coots composed the music. The song's upbeat and cheerful melody, along with its timeless lyrics, contributed to its enduring popularity. Over the years, "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" has been recorded by numerous artists including Buddy Bear and Gene Autry and has become a beloved part of the Christmas music repertoire.
