Rosemary Clooney (May 23, 1928 – June 29, 2002) was an American
singer and actress. She came to prominence in the early 1950s with the song "Come On-a My House", which was followed by other pop numbers
such as "Botch-a-Me", "Mambo Italiano", "Tenderly", "Half as Much", "Hey There" and "This Ole
House". She also had success as a jazz vocalist.
Clooney's career languished in the 1960s, partly due to problems related to depression
and drug addiction, but revived in 1977, when her White
Christmas co-star Bing Crosby asked her to appear with him at
a show marking his 50th anniversary in show business. She continued recording
until her death in 2002.
"Suzy Snowflake"
is a song written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett, made famous by Rosemary Clooney in 1951 and released
as a 78 RPM record by Columbia Records, MJV-123.
Suzy is a snowflake playfully
personified. It is commonly regarded as a Christmas song, although it makes no mention of the
holiday. The child-oriented lyrics celebrate the fun of winter.
A cartoon short based on the song
was made in 1953 by Centaur Productions, with stop-motion animation created by Wah Ming Chang. It is annually shown during the
Christmas season on WGN-TV in Chicago, along with another production by Centaur, "Hardrock,
Coco and Joe" and an early UPA version of "Frosty the Snowman". WJAC-TV in Johnstown, PA also runs these three cartoon shorts
during the Christmas season.
Clooney later re-recorded the song
for her 1978 Mistletoe Records album Christmas with Rosemary Clooney.
It has been covered by other artists, most notably Soul Coughing in 1997.
Here comes
Suzy Snowflake
Dressed
In a snow white gown
Tap-tap-tapping
At your window pane
To tell you
She's in town
If you wanna make
A snow man
I'll help you make one
One-two-three
And if you wanna take
A sleigh ride
Whoop the ride's on me
Here comes
Suzy Snowflake
Look at her
Tumbling down
Bringing joy
To every girl and boy
Suzy's come to town
If you wanna take
A snowman
I'll help you take one
One-two-three
And if you wanna make
A sleigh ride
Whoop the ride's on me
Here comes
Suzy Snowflake
Look at her
Tumbling down
Bringing joy
To every girl and boy
Suzy's come to town.
