Oklahoma-bred singing cowboy Gene Autry starred in more than 90 Westnern B-movies in his long career.

But these days he is best known for recording the Christmas songs “”Here Comes Santa Claus,” “Frosty the Snowman,” and his biggest hit, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” He eventually earned the title the “Christmas Cowboy.”

This year marks the 60th anniversary of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” which became Autry’s sole No. 1 hit and remains a holiday favorite.

NewsOK talks to various Autry experts, including The Oklahoman Entertainment Editor Gene Triplett, in an nDepth video and story.
