Rudolph first appeared in a 1939 booklet written by Robert L. May and published by Montgomery Ward.[
May's brother-in-law, Johnny Marks, adapted the story of Rudolph into a song. Gene Autry's recording of the song hit No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart the week of Christmas 1949. Autry's recording sold 2.5 million copies the first year So answer is Johnny Marks, Montgomery Ward
