Where it came from
Released by RCA Victor in 1947, this 78 rpm record captures a seminal moment in holiday music history. It features Paul Wing narrating the story of Rudolph, a character created by Robert L. May for the Montgomery Ward department store in 1939. The recording, arranged and conducted by Russ Case, helped cement the character as a cultural icon just years before the song's more famous adaptation by Gene Autry.
The production reflects the post-war era's focus on children's storytelling records, a format designed to bring radio-style entertainment into the home. Paul Wing was a prominent narrator for RCA Victor’s Bluebird children's series, known for his clear, authoritative delivery. The orchestration by Russ Case aimed for a whimsical, cinematic quality that complemented the narrative-heavy approach of the time, serving as a primary audio experience for children before the song's melody eclipsed the original story version.
