Gayla Peevey is an American singer and former child star, best known for her hit novelty song "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas." She was born on March 10, 1943, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and rose to fame in the 1950s. Peevey recorded "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" in 1953 when she was only ten years old, and the song became a holiday favorite that has endured over the decades.
Her performance on various television shows and the song's popularity brought her significant attention during her childhood. Following the success of her Christmas song, Gayla Peevey continued to perform and record other songs, but none achieved the same level of success as her hippopotamus-themed hit.
After her brief music career as a child, Peevey eventually stepped away from the entertainment industry. She pursued her education, earning a degree in education, and lived a private life. In more recent years, she has occasionally made public appearances, particularly during the holiday season, when her famous song often resurfaces.
