EDDIE CANTOR - A note about Eddie Cantor, a great performer of the days of radio and film. Indicative of his effect on the mass audience, he agreed in November 1934 to introduce a new song by the songwriters J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie, a song that other well-known artists had rejected as being "silly" and "childish." The song, Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, immediately had orders for 100,000 copies of sheet music the next day. It sold 400,000 copies by Christmas of that year.  Thanks Eddie.
