Johnny Marks

About

John David Marks was an American songwriter. He specialized in Christmas songs and wrote many holiday standards, including "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", "A Holly Jolly Christmas", "Silver and Gold", and "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day". He is also credited with writing "Run Rudolph Run" but this is due to his trademark of the Rudolph character, rather than any input in the writing of the song.
