Did everyone know that the original singer of Walking in the Air in The Snowman is not Aled Jones but a choirboy called Peter Auty? When my bro-in-law told me today, I didnt believe him. I certainly have always thought that it was Aled Jones that made the song famous in the film.
Aled Jones released a cover version a few years after the film was brought out and everybody assumed it was him in the film. He of course kept it relatively quiet that he wasn't actually involved and has since made a mint on the back of it, whilst the original singer got a mere 300 and odd quid for his work and faded back into obsurity due to not being credited on the film's original release. This was changed in a rescripting of the snowman in 2002.
