Hardrock Coco & Joe
"The Three Little Dwarfs"
That's what the original title of this little Christmas short was called. But we remembered them from the song. Hardrock, Coco & Joe.
Every Christmas morning this favorite was played on the Chicago children shows Bozo and Garfield Goose. It is still shown today, along with the other two favorites, 'Suzie Snowflake, and Frosty the Snowman.
This was the trilogy of childhood memories.
Very little, if anything is really known as to where these films came from. When asked around about these little gems people would acknowledge they're existence but that was it.
The video copies of these shorts have a copyright and other info at the bottom of the screen as they would begin, but the quality is so bad that you can hardly make it out.
All we know is that they are played every year at Christmas, and continue to bring back the memories of years long gone.
This Christmas I received a gift in the way of information about this holiday tune! Let be known that the 'Hardrock, Coco & Joe' tune was recorded by the Les Tucker Singers! Words & Music by Stuart Hamblen - Published by Hill and Range Songs Inc. BMI.
I was sent the following information by Anthony Martini who happens to own the 45' & was kind enough to offer me these scans to place on my site. Thanks a million Anthony!
Below are a few video captures of this great little classic.
Place the mouse over each picture and sing along!
