R.I.P Fred Astaire (May 10, 1899 - June 22, 1987). You were always a great Narrator and actor. You will be greatly missed.... but never forgotten.

I've heard many different versions of this song over the years, but no one has even come close to matching Fred Astaire's rendition.
I Completely Agree! :-D
There is something seriously wholesome about it.
Love the little flute part too lol
I downloaded a version done by an older Stevie Nicks & Chris Issak a couple years ago but I choose Fred for ever & ever. #1
Colonel Mustang the one that comes close for is Burl Ives' version
I’ve been saying that for years
I think every Christmas song belongs to one person or band, depending on what you listen to, and this song definitely belongs to Fred Astaire
Ahhh Fred Astair. Love this old classic they don't make them like this anymore
The very best version of this song
#facts
That speech at the beginning is one of my favorite scenes in the special. It's honestly one of the deepest analysis of Santa and why we still celebrate him even after we find out he's a fictional character based on a real person. It's because you either see him two ways:
1. A commercial seen as representation of the dark side of Christmas.
2. A symbol of giving and faith that makes lessons like that fun to learn when you're little.
I've always loved that vehicle he drives!
I have a rare Christmas toy set of this vehicle and Fred Astaire is its postal driver with creatures and surround setting.
Thats amazing
I didn't know Fred Astaire did this until I revisited. He sure did a good job.
Just found out myself. A real legend
@@maximusw01 Yea, he really adds a certain charm to it that lives on to this day that makes it a real classic.
Me either 😮
Fred Astaire put the legend of Santa Clause exactly on the Tee
Legendary, Iconic the phenomenal Fred Astaire 💋👍👍🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Anyone else watch this, Frosty, and Rudolph on Freeform whenever they do the 25 Days of Christmas?
👍

Do tv networks still air these old classics during Holidays?
They did in the 90s. I understood these old clips were classics when I was kid. It made no difference, because without these classics, Christmas wouldn't have had the same impact.
Boy, I'll tell ya - I've never wanted to step into a time machine more so than I do now. I miss simpler times. I miss old traditions that nearly seem to be canceled out by modern society.
You know, as of late, I've wondered if our perception of the world, during our youths, was more exciting and extravagant, because as children, everything was such a big deal. It's as if there was a magic within. I miss that feeling, where our imaginations were full of endless possibilities, where are the impossible was possible. Magic was real! I once lied beneath a Christmas Tree so that I could stare up at the multi-colored lights through the tree branches, consumed of Christmas ornaments. You have to understand, as a child, to me, that moment to me was so magical, I nearly felt as though a fairy dust substance would swirl around me and I'd disappear, as I would then rapidly travel through time and space to the North Pole itself. I thought for sure I was going to meet Tim Allen A.K.A. Santa Claus in 1994.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I wonder if Christmas, and Holidays in general, were a bigger deal in the 70s/80s/&90s as oppose to current times, and if they were, was it because we as children perceived it that way, because everything was a vastly bigger deal? Or is it because Holidays in current times don't quite compare?
Personally, I believe Holidays were just better 30 years ago. People got out and took the initiative. Christmas lights and other holiday displays were more common. It seemed as though in any given neighborhood, you saw Christmas lights everywhere. Family dinners were more common. Old traditions were more common. Hanging ornaments together as a family was more common.
You know... all as mentioned above is so uncommon in current times, I find myself here, in search for nostalgia, trying to feel even a glimmer of the warmth and the magic I once felt.
I miss simpler times...
Great quality version!
Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅
Some version says "he knows if you've been good or bad" instead of "bad or good" and it didn't sound right so I came here to double check if somebody changed our timeline again..
How is this still not on Spotify
STREAMING SCRUBS
@@hypolyxa7207 what
@@grandelderx7084 Now it is!
My favorite Christmas movie of all time! Loved this since I was a kid
My all time favorite Christmas🎄special 🎅
So true. Needed now more than ever.
When kringle sings the song, my favorite part after he says you better not pout, the kids ask why. He goes (with a little attitude) I'M TELLING YOU WHY 😂
This and Frank Sinatra's version are arguably my two favorite versions of this song.
I never realized this was Fred Astaire until now.
You better watch out, You better not cry, You better pout I'm telling you why. Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. Love that Christmas special from 1970.
I'm five hundred and seventy-three and watching this makes me feel like I'm a hundred and thirty.
Merry Cristmas Everyone! Don't allow anyone to rob you of your joy this Christmas! ❤🎄❤
This cartoon is my childhood
They really don’t make movies like they used to...this movie was so heartwarming, and the absence of similar movies today is absolutely heartbreaking...
Merry Christmas to 2019
AND 2022!!☃️☃️☃️☃️☃️🎅🎅☃️🎄
This is going to be my favorite Christmas song for a long time. Does anyone know where I could purchase it?
I absolutely love this movie
very best Christmas song ever
I was 11 years old then, a very long time ago.
we all need to do acts of kindness... simple but really great!!
I appreciate it , God and Fred
Love This Origin of Santa Claus.
What I like is that they made the mailman look a lot like Fred.
1:00 I always cry when I hear that.🥺😭🥹 I truly wish for peace on Earth. 🌎🪽
this is the infinitely best version of the song I've ever heard. easily.
Agreed I always like the way Fred Astaire sang this song.
I third that
And what a pity it’s not available on CD, digital download or streaming. It will keep me coming here!
No it's not
At 50 years old I still look forward to watching this. In a world of uncertainty, one thing for sure is that we give as told by Fred Astaire, perhaps the world would be a better place.
Fred had a really smooth voice.
Yes he did. Absolutely perfect!
He was a smooth dancer too.
Well, by 1970 maybe Astaire couldn't have danced like he did in the 1930s, but that voice still sounded as young as ever.
He might have been able to, he was only in his early 70s when this came out
There's a clip of him dancing at the 1970 Oscars here on RUclips, and he could still do it at 71 years old.
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year
Will still sit down an watch this at 21 years of age, loved this as a child
Vino 21 tyyuu juuiu
Classic
Me
I like listening to this year round! 🌲
17 now
One of the classics. Even if not in high resolution, for many of us out here, it's still just as good. Remember, we all watched these and fell in love with them before 720p existed, and we watched them on old TVs, some with bad reception before cable. Move the rabbit ears a little, there's still some snow! ;) Merry Christmas.
Ok
+humbleradio Exactly!!
Miss Fred Astaire
This is a classic! I am 47 years old and still enjoy watching this every Christmas. This is one of the best!
It's my favorite Christmas movie. i could watch it all year long but i try to keep it a tradition.
I've still watch them all I am 52 makes my heart happy🎄🙏🎁❤
I am 52 and I agree with you! What a time to be young and experience all the wonderful shows that were around at that time! 🤗
I'm 58 and this is still my favorite and this song always brings out poignant memories of my childhood Christmas years.
Fred Astaire had such a great voice! Can't wait to watch this again in a couple more months!!!
This was/ and is still my favorite Rakin N Bass special.
I just love it...Bing, Fred, Burl and Ella, The Rat Pack OMG so many memories of my childhood & sharing the classics with my children every year (even though they are 16, 17 and 20 now)
I remember I use to watch this exact video when I was a kid. Those beautiful memories I will never forget.
I always tear up at the opening part.
Christmas was just last week and you know what I'm looking forward too now?
NEXT YEAR'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Emma Boudreaux I agree Emma Boudreaux, Christmas is a Sensational time of the year, maybe even the best time of the year! I love it!
Emma's Beauty Channel well it's coming up now😂
Great memories. Can't wait to introduce this movie to my nieces and nephews. Thank you, Daddy, for showing these movies when I was little.
So wonderful, so nostalgic. Makes my heart warm and sad at the same time. Can’t wait for Christmas this year.
Melanie Anne Ahern you said it!
Silent Night
Melanie Anne Ahern 6 more months ! 🎅🏻🎁🦌🎄🍪🥛☃️
Christmas is the most magical time of the year
Melanie Anne Ahern is
im 45 & still watch these wonderful classics all my life
Another one of my favorites for Christmas. I watch it every year. Brings back so many memories of my childhood. I am almost 50 now and will keep watching it for the rest of my life.
when Fred tells you to behave yourself, you better. I guess 10 people would rather watch Justin Beiber style his hair than watch the joy and happiness that this special shows us. We love you Freddy :)
i have watched this every year for 16 years
Reminds me of my childhood. Sitting on the floor in front of the TV. Such good memories.
one of the best christmas shows in history and i still watching it every christmas.
It's 2015 and this is still accurate.
This will be accurate forever
Christina Toto 2018 and still accurate even now.
I have always like this special and I think Fred Astaire sung this song the best.
This was always my favourite Rankin/Bass cartoon!
nothing beats the classic's like this :)
Fred would've made an incredible Christmas album, had he gotten the chance to.
My favorite Christmas special when I was a kid! Tells the whole story, great music and characters.
This gives me so much nostalgia . I remember going to my aunt's house for a big family Christmas party watching all these specials.
This song was written back in 1934. BTW, the original songwriters, John Frederick Coots (1897-1985) and Haven Gillespie (1888-1975) were still alive when this special premiered in 1970 (Coots was 73 and Gillespie was 82). It makes me wonder what they thought of this.
GOD, this brings back memories. :)
I love this movie, it's a Christmas classic
Very true besides Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
This scene always brings on the tears for me, I think this has to be my favorite bit out of all my childhood Christmas specials.
Takes me back to my childhood :)
Brings back Childhood memories :)
Love FAstaire's voice. Perfect for this show!🎄
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
I love it! Jolly jolly jolly
This is one of my favorite movies about Santa clause ever and i still enjoy seeing it today!!!
I first watched this movie when I was 4. 13 years, I don't care what others think, this along with all the stop motion pictures has been my greatest Christmas tradition filled with so much heart.
Thank you so much to the company who has given me these movies of sheer love and happiness.
Just love it Oh the memories of being a kid
This best version of this song and if not even close
i love this song !
I forgot how much the narrator actually LOOKED like Mr. Astaire!
Happy holidays to everyone
I remember seeing this song when I was little... I STILL LOVE IT!!!!
This was made back when I was a kid and is STILL a classic today! I still watch this every year it comes around, and enjoy it now just as I did then! Rankin-Bass studios REALLY knew how to put out Christmas programming for the family! It was priceless then and still is today some 40 plus years later!!!
well isnt this just ridiculously cute
Wonderful!
I've always enjoyed the extended version of the song this special made.
I love this movie and song too. I always look forward to seeing it when christmas is coming
It needs to be Christmas
Can't wait till Christmas! :D I love this movie! :)
Happy 10 days 'till Christmas! :D
My 22 month old daughter and I have watched this clip together about 30 times in the past few weeks. It's such a joy to see this again, and tyo share it with my little one, who seems to dig it just as much as I did as a child. They don't make 'em like they used to!
