ABOUT THE RECORD
Here Comes Peter Cottontail is a popular secular Easter song composed in 1949, by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins. They also wrote Frosty the Snowman in 1950. Mervin Shiner was the first person to record the song, on Decca Records in 1950. It reached No. 8 on Billboard Hot 100. The name 'Peter Cottontail' was used by a character in a 1914 Thornton Burgess book, but may not have been previously used to refer to the Easter Bunny. Due to the immense popularity of Gene Autry's Christmas songs Here Comes Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Nelson and Rollins asked Autry to record their song. His 1950 version was on the Columbia label and peaked at No. 3 on the U.S Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Nelson and Rollins also wrote non-Easter lyrics to the tune that later appeared on the 1963 Walt Disney Records Peter Cottontail Plus Other Funny Bunnies and their Friends.
