closing the school has been an option, a time-honoured Grey Central tradition took place last

Though it might seem as though
it’s been around forever, the beloved
holiday song Frosty the Snowman
actually wasn’t produced until 1950.
Written by Jack Rollins and Steve
Nelson, the song was first recorded
by legendary country singer Jack
Autry and the Cass County Boys.
Once they finished penning the now
classic Christmas tune, Rollins and
Nelson shipped the lyrics to Autry,
who just a year earlier achieved great
success with another holiday
favourite, Rudolph the Red Nosed
Reindeer.
While Autry’s version remained
the most successful, and arguably
most recognizable, version of Frosty
for many years, its success in terms
of charting was actually outdone just
a year ago. The peak position for
Autry’s original version on the U.S.
Pop Singles chart was #7 back in
1950.
However, the 2007 rendition by
former American Idol participant
Kimberly Locke reached #1 on the
Billboard U.S. Hot Adult
Contemporary chart.
