Peter Auty - His best known solo performance, was undoubtedly in 1982 when he recorded "Walking in the Air" for Howard Blake's soundtrack to The Snowman, a highly successful animated film.The original voice behind Christmas animation film The Snowman has finally been recognised - after choirboy Aled Jones claimed the credit for 20 years.
Viewers had thought Aled - now a familiar presenter of Songs of Praise - was the vocal talent behind the Walking In The Air song, which has delighted families annually since 1982.
But the youthful Welsh singer was chosen by composer Howard Blake to release a re-recorded version of the song - a huge hit that catapulted Aled to fame.
Chorister Peter Auty, who sang the version used in the animation for just £300 and was left out from the closing credits in the rush to finish the film, was reinstated by producers Monday.

LYRICS
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the wold
The villages go by like trees
the rivers and the hills
The forest and the streams
Children gaze open mouth
Taken by suprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
mountains floating by
Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky

 | "The Snowman, Walking in the Air", by George Winston

Description: "The Snowman, Walking in the Air", played by George Winston, from the album "Forest" (1994). The music is accompanied by a photo slide show depicting serene sunsets and sunrises as viewed from different areas of England and Ireland.
Here in the UK, the animation, "The Snowman", is a major part of Christmas for many people. An adaptation of a wordless book of the same name (1978) by the English author Raymond Briggs, it was first aired on Channel 4 late on Christmas Eve, 1982, and has been shown every Christmas Eve since. For me, Christmas cannot be without it. The scene where the little boy and The Snowman take off to the sound of Howard Blake's "Walking in the Air" (sung by Peter Auty) still evokes chills all these years later!
Since it was first aired on British TV, "The Snowman" has been shown all over the world, becoming very popular in Japan, Korea, throughout Europe, and especially in the USA. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Short in 1983 and has been awarded many smaller prizes since. For example, in a list of the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes drawn up by the British Film Institute in 2,000 (voted for by industry professionals), the film was placed 71st. It was also voted 4th in UKTV Gold's "Greatest TV Christmas Moments".
What a masterpiece!
