Cowboy Heros

Next to Roy Rogers , my favorite singing cowboy and hero, was Rex Allen. I loved the sound of his voice when he sang, and thought that his horse, KoKo was just as magnificent as Roy's famous horse, Trigger.

If we have any tributes to Rex Allen in this thread, I might have missed them; but here is one of my favorites and one that truly shows his voice.
And thank you for the "encore" song, Meanderer !

Here's one you missed, HFL. NOTE: This is his Son, Rex Allen Jr.
 
Could find no information. Looks like a charity event.

I never really liked cowboy stuff, but one exception from early childhood was the t.v. show "Have Gun, Will Travel." Nobody I mentioned this to in recent years thought it was funny- because of the business card I wanted to name our new cat 'Wire,' thinking the character's name was actually WIRE PALADIN.

Very understandable, Janice....our Son thought Boldlygo was the name of a Planet on Star Trek!
 
"Throughout much of the 20th century, the cowboy and the western lawman were the classic American heroes. The cowboy attire in this photo depicts the life of a cowboy on the Western frontier: Wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirt, bandana, holstered gun, woolies (chaps), boots with spurs, and a lariat".
Year: 1880

This isthe best western movie ever made. It's a morality play. Tex Ritter, who sang the theme song, was a real western star himself.

Welcome Big Horn, and thanks for posting here! I always liked Frankie Lane's version of High Noon, and I guess I forgot that Tex sang it in the Movie. Here he sings it on the Dick cavett show on August 11, 1970.
