    More comments
    1. 2.“Peter Auty was a choirboy at St Paul's Cathedral who, at 13, sang 'Walking in the Air' for the 1982 film The Snowman – but in the rush to finish, his name was left off the credits. In 1985 the composer re-recorded it for a Toys 'R' Us commercial, chose Aled Jones instead, and it became a hit single. Many people assumed Jones was the singer in the film.”
    2. 3.“At one point in my life I reached rock bottom. My personal and professional life were blown away right in front of me. I lost everything. Things got better... a lot better, and this song was part of my recovery. It might seem silly, but it brought me peace and comfort.”
