Spade Cooley's band with vocal by Tex Williams and with steel guitarist Joaquin Murphey
Donnell Clyde Cooley, better known as Spade Cooley, was an American Western Swing musician, band leader, actor and television personality whose remarkable career ended in 1961 when he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his wife.
Cooley became famous as a popular Western Swing band leader who appeared in 38 Western films before he began hosting his own variety show on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, California. Broadcast from the Santa Monica Pier Ballroom beginning in June of 1948, The Spade Cooley Show became a mainstay of 1950s television and was viewed coast-to-coast via the Paramount Television Network.
But Cooley had a dark side. He suspected his second wife, Ella Mae, who was a singer in his band before they married, of repeatedly being unfaithful. In March 1961 she told a friend she had an affair with Roy Rogers in 1952 or 1953 and asked Cooley for a divorce.
On April 26, 1961, Cooley was indicted by a Kern County grand jury for the murder of his wife in the couple's Willow Springs, California ranch home. Cooley's 14-year-old daughter, Melody, reportedly told the jury she watched in terror as her father beat her mother's head against the floor, stomped on her stomach, then crushed a lighted cigarette against her skin to see whether she was dead.
Cooley claimed his wife had been injured by falling in the shower.
In what was the longest trial in county history at the time; Cooley was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
After serving only eight years, however, the state of California agreed to parole him and in November of 1969 he received a 72-hour furlough to play a benefit concert for the Deputy Sheriffs Association at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California. After the performance Cooley suffered a fatal heart attack in the backstage area. Today he is interred at Chapel of the Chimes cemetery in Hayward, California.

The Boots and Saddle club had a contest to determine who was "The King of Western Swing" in the late 40s. The Bob Wills Band and the Spade Cooley band competed...and Spade won. But it was just a local group that did it in Hollywood. Needless to say, Bob Wills is THE king of western swing, and my hero.

Here's a clip of Spade Cooley and his band long before he beat his wife to a pulp in a drunken, jealous rage.
Oklahoma born Donnell Clyde 'Spade' Cooley came into the limelight during the World War II years with a western swing band with Tex Williams doing vocals. Sidemen during these early years included Joaquin Murphey, Smokey Rogers, Cactus Soldi, Pedro DePaul and Deuce Spriggens. Yodeling wizard Carolina Cotton was also a member of the band.
Significant changes occurred in the mid 1940s. In the Spring of 1945, Spriggens exited to form his own musical group which appeared in several of the Columbia westerns with Ken Curtis and the Hoosier Hotshots (SONG OF THE PRAIRIE (1945), COWBOY BLUES (1946), SINGING ON THE TRAIL (1946)). In 1946, Tex Williams left (some report this was on his own accord while others note that he was fired by Spade). Tex took Smokey Rogers and several other musicians with him and formed the "Western Caravan". In the Summer of 1946, Spriggens dissolved his organization and joined up with Williams.
Cooley formed another group, signed with RCA records and around 1948, hit the TV airwaves on station KTLA in Los Angeles with his own show which became a ratings hit and lasted for nearly ten years. Cooley sidemen during this later period included Noel Boggs (steel guitar) and Jimmy Wyble (guitar).
Billing himself as the "King of Western Swing", Cooley had hits such as "Steel Guitar Rag", and "Oklahoma Stomp" (Joaquin Murphey on steel guitar). Spade's signature tune was "Shame On You", which was originally released in 1945 on Columbia's Okeh label with Tex Williams doing the vocal. Spade's hard-drivin' musical style and popularity rivaled that of Bob Wills.
Prior to forming his western swing orchestra circa 1942, Cooley was a sideman (on fiddle) with Walt Shrum and the Colorado Hillbillies and Cal Shrum's Rhythm Rangers. Spade also did some fiddlin' and bit parts in various B westerns. If you watch closely, you can spot him in: MARSHAL OF MESA CITY (RKO, 1939) with George O'Brien; THUNDERING HOOFS (RKO, 1941) and RIDING THE WIND (RKO, 1942) with Tim Holt; DAWN ON THE GREAT DIVIDE (Monogram, 1942) with Buck Jones; IN OLD CHEYENNE (Republic, 1941) and SOUTH OF SANTA FE (Republic, 1942) with Roy Rogers; and LOST CANYON (United Artists, 1943) with William 'Hopalong' Boyd. The Cooley band (with Tex Williams, Deuce Spriggens and Carolina Cotton) helped out Bing's brother Bob Crosby in SINGING SHERIFF (Universal, 1944). And the group (with Tex Williams) were in ROCKIN' IN THE ROCKIES (Columbia, 1945) which featured mayhem from the Three Stooges and Hoosier Hotshots.

Spade Cooley
Donnell Clyde Cooley (December 17, 1910 – November 23, 1969), better known as Spade Cooley, was an American Western swing musician, big band leader, actor, and television personality. His career ended in 1961 when he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his second wife, Ella Mae Evans.
Biography
"Spade" Cooley was born Donnell Clyde Cooley on December 17, 1910, in Grand, Oklahoma. Being part Cherokee, he was sent to the Chemawa Indian School in Salem, Oregon to be educated. Around 1930 his family fled the Dust Bowl for California.
Music career
One of the groups which played at the Venice Pier Ballroom in Venice, California, was led by Jimmy Wakely with Spade Cooley on fiddle. Several thousand dancers would turn out on Saturday night to swing and hop. "The hoards (sic) of people and jitterbuggers loved him." When Wakely got a movie contract at Universal, Cooley replaced him as bandleader.
To capitalize on the pioneering success of the Bob Wills–Tommy Duncan pairing, Cooley hired vocalist Tex Williams who was capable of the mellow deep baritone sound made popular by Duncan. Cooley's 18-month engagement at Santa Monica's Venice Pier Ballroom was record-breaking for the early half of the 1940s. His "Shame on You", released on Columbia's Okeh label, was recorded in December 1944, and was No. 1 on the country charts for two months. A Red Foley / Lawrence Welk collaboration issued by Decca (18698) was No. 4 to Cooley's No. 5 on Billboard's "Most Played Juke Box Folk Records" listing in September 1945. Soundies Distributing Corp. of America issued one of their "music video like" film shorts of Cooley's band titled "Shame on You" in the fall of 1945. "Shame on You" was the first in an unbroken string of six Top Ten singles including "Detour" and "You Can't Break My Heart".

Tex Williams
Sollie Paul Williams (August 23, 1917 – October 11, 1985), known professionally as Tex Williams, was an American Western swing musician from Ramsey, Illinois. He is best known for his talking blues style; his biggest hit was the novelty song, "Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That Cigarette)", which held the number one position on the Billboard charts for sixteen weeks in 1947. "Smoke" was the No. 5 song on Billboard's Top 100 list for 1947, and was No. 1 on the country chart that year. It can be heard during the opening credits of the 2006 movie Thank You for Smoking.
Life and career
Williams started out in the early 1940s as vocalist for the band of Western Swing king Spade Cooley, based in Venice, California.
Williams' backing band The Western Caravan numbered about a dozen members. They attained an enviable level of fluid interplay between electric and steel guitars, fiddles, bass, accordion, trumpet, and other instruments (even an occasional harp). At first they recorded polkas for Capitol Records with limited success. That was changed by the success of "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke" written in large part by Merle Travis.

Spade
A spade is a tool primarily for digging or removing earth and fixing soil. Early spades were made of riven wood. After the art of metalworking was discovered, spades were made with sharper tips of metal. Before the introduction of metal spades manual labor was less efficient at moving earth, with picks being required to break up the soil in addition to a spade for moving the dirt. With a metal tip, a spade can both break and move the earth in most situations, increasing efficiency.
Etymology
"tool for digging," Old English spadu "spade," from Proto-Germanic *spadan (cognates: Old Frisian spada "a spade," Middle Dutch spade "a sword," Old Saxon spado, Middle Low German spade, German Spaten), from PIE *spe-dh-, from root *spe- (2) "long, flat piece of wood" (cognates: Greek spathe "wooden blade, paddle," Old English spon "chip of wood, splinter," Old Norse spann "shingle, chip;" see spoon (n.)).
"A spade differs from a two-handed shovel chiefly in the form and thickness of the blade" [Century Dictionary]. To call a spade a spade "use blunt language, call things by right names" (1540s) translates a Greek proverb (known to Lucian), ten skaphen skaphen legein "to call a bowl a bowl," but Erasmus mistook Greek skaphe "trough, bowl" for a derivative of the stem of skaptein "to dig," and the mistake has stuck [see OED].

Western swing
Western swing music is a subgenre of American country music that originated in the late 1920s in the West and South among the region's Western string bands. It is dance music, often with an up-tempo beat, which attracted huge crowds to dance halls and clubs in Texas, Oklahoma and California during the 1930s and 1940s until a federal war-time nightclub tax in 1944 led to its decline.
The movement was an outgrowth of jazz, and similarities with gypsy jazz are often noted. The music is an amalgamation of rural, cowboy, polka, folk, Dixieland jazz and blues blended with swing; and played by a hot string band often augmented with drums, saxophones, pianos and, notably, the steel guitar. The electrically amplified stringed instruments, especially the steel guitar, give the music a distinctive sound. Later incarnations have also included overtones of bebop.
Western swing differs in several ways from the music played by the nationally popular horn-driven big swing bands of the same era. In Western bands, even fully orchestrated bands, vocals, and other instruments followed the fiddle's lead. Additionally, although popular horn bands tended to arrange and score their music, most Western bands improvised freely, either by soloists or collectively.

Meanwhile, June McGuire and Betty Vale, whose singing act has failed at the café, are packing for New York. Shorty, who has fallen for Betty, persuades the girls to go to the ranch. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Rusty has returned with intentions of selling the ranch. He tells Shorty, Curly and Larry to hit the trail, and instructs his cowhands, the Hoosier Hotshots, to round up the cattle for the buyer's inspection the next morning. Shorty, Curly and Larry inadvertently (of course) make a hole in the fence and the cattle get out. The only-slightly smarter Hotshots suspect rustlers and when they come upon Sam Clemens, the prospective buyer, they hand him over to the sheriff as a rustler. They hear that Tom Trove, a Broadway producer, is in town and get him to the ranch where they plan to audition their talents. Rusty gets the more-than-miffed Clemens out of jail and they return to the ranch to find a show in progress with Trove as a disgruntled audience. Things aren't going good for anybody at the old ranch house, until Curly spills some rocks from his pocket that turn out to be that most valuable and rare mineral "Vanadanite," and the ranch is loaded with it. Clemens makes Rusty his partner in a mining venture, and the Hoosier Hotshots, with the unintentional aid (of course) of Shorty, Curly and Larry, make a hit with Trove, who signs them for his Diamond Circle in New York, and includes June and Betty.

Spade, The Life & Crimes of Spade Cooley
Donnell Clyde Cooley, better known as Spade Cooley, was an American Western Swing musician, band leader, actor and television personality whose remarkable career ended in 1961 when he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his wife. Cooley became famous as a popular Western Swing band leader who appeared in 38 Western films before he began hosting his own variety show on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, California. Broadcast from the Santa Monica Pier Ballroom beginning in June of 1948, The Spade Cooley Show became a mainstay of 1950s television and was viewed coast-to-coast via the Paramount Television Network. But Cooley had a dark side. He suspected his second wife, Ella Mae, who was a singer in his band before they married, of repeatedly being unfaithful. In March 1961 she told a fr...

Spade Cooley - King of Western Swing - not really
The Boots and Saddle club had a contest to determine who was "The King of Western Swing" in the late 40s. The Bob Wills Band and the Spade Cooley band competed...and Spade won. But it was just a local group that did it in Hollywood. Needless to say, Bob Wills is THE king of western swing, and my hero.

Swinging Spade Cooley
Here's a clip of Spade Cooley and his band long before he beat his wife to a pulp in a drunken, jealous rage. Oklahoma born Donnell Clyde 'Spade' Cooley came into the limelight during the World War II years with a western swing band with Tex Williams doing vocals. Sidemen during these early years included Joaquin Murphey, Smokey Rogers, Cactus Soldi, Pedro DePaul and Deuce Spriggens. Yodeling wizard Carolina Cotton was also a member of the band. Significant changes occurred in the mid 1940s. In the Spring of 1945, Spriggens exited to form his own musical group which appeared in several of the Columbia westerns with Ken Curtis and the Hoosier Hotshots (SONG OF THE PRAIRIE (1945), COWBOY BLUES (1946), SINGING ON THE TRAIL (1946)). In 1946, Tex Williams left (some report this was on his...

Donnell Clyde Cooley, better known as Spade Cooley, was an American Western Swing musician, band leader, actor and television personality whose remarkable career ended in 1961 when he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his wife.
Cooley became famous as a popular Western Swing band leader who appeared in 38 Western films before he began hosting his own variety show on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, California. Broadcast from the Santa Monica Pier Ballroom beginning in June of 1948, The Spade Cooley Show became a mainstay of 1950s television and was viewed coast-to-coast via the Paramount Television Network.
But Cooley had a dark side. He suspected his second wife, Ella Mae, who was a singer in his band before they married, of repeatedly being unfaithful. In March 1961 she told a friend she had an affair with Roy Rogers in 1952 or 1953 and asked Cooley for a divorce.
On April 26, 1961, Cooley was indicted by a Kern County grand jury for the murder of his wife in the couple's Willow Springs, California ranch home. Cooley's 14-year-old daughter, Melody, reportedly told the jury she watched in terror as her father beat her mother's head against the floor, stomped on her stomach, then crushed a lighted cigarette against her skin to see whether she was dead.
Cooley claimed his wife had been injured by falling in the shower.
In what was the longest trial in county history at the time; Cooley was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
After serving only eight years, however, the state of California agreed to parole him and in November of 1969 he received a 72-hour furlough to play a benefit concert for the Deputy Sheriffs Association at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California. After the performance Cooley suffered a fatal heart attack in the backstage area. Today he is interred at Chapel of the Chimes cemetery in Hayward, California.

Here's a clip of Spade Cooley and his band long before he beat his wife to a pulp in a drunken, jealous rage.
Oklahoma born Donnell Clyde 'Spade' Cooley came into the limelight during the World War II years with a western swing band with Tex Williams doing vocals. Sidemen during these early years included Joaquin Murphey, Smokey Rogers, Cactus Soldi, Pedro DePaul and Deuce Spriggens. Yodeling wizard Carolina Cotton was also a member of the band.
Significant changes occurred in the mid 1940s. In the Spring of 1945, Spriggens exited to form his own musical group which appeared in several of the Columbia westerns with Ken Curtis and the Hoosier Hotshots (SONG OF THE PRAIRIE (1945), COWBOY BLUES (1946), SINGING ON THE TRAIL (1946)). In 1946, Tex Williams left (some report this was on his own accord while others note that he was fired by Spade). Tex took Smokey Rogers and several other musicians with him and formed the "Western Caravan". In the Summer of 1946, Spriggens dissolved his organization and joined up with Williams.
Cooley formed another group, signed with RCA records and around 1948, hit the TV airwaves on station KTLA in Los Angeles with his own show which became a ratings hit and lasted for nearly ten years. Cooley sidemen during this later period included Noel Boggs (steel guitar) and Jimmy Wyble (guitar).
Billing himself as the "King of Western Swing", Cooley had hits such as "Steel Guitar Rag", and "Oklahoma Stomp" (Joaquin Murphey on steel guitar). Spade's signature tune was "Shame On You", which was originally released in 1945 on Columbia's Okeh label with Tex Williams doing the vocal. Spade's hard-drivin' musical style and popularity rivaled that of Bob Wills.
Prior to forming his western swing orchestra circa 1942, Cooley was a sideman (on fiddle) with Walt Shrum and the Colorado Hillbillies and Cal Shrum's Rhythm Rangers. Spade also did some fiddlin' and bit parts in various B westerns. If you watch closely, you can spot him in: MARSHAL OF MESA CITY (RKO, 1939) with George O'Brien; THUNDERING HOOFS (RKO, 1941) and RIDING THE WIND (RKO, 1942) with Tim Holt; DAWN ON THE GREAT DIVIDE (Monogram, 1942) with Buck Jones; IN OLD CHEYENNE (Republic, 1941) and SOUTH OF SANTA FE (Republic, 1942) with Roy Rogers; and LOST CANYON (United Artists, 1943) with William 'Hopalong' Boyd. The Cooley band (with Tex Williams, Deuce Spriggens and Carolina Cotton) helped out Bing's brother Bob Crosby in SINGING SHERIFF (Universal, 1944). And the group (with Tex Williams) were in ROCKIN' IN THE ROCKIES (Columbia, 1945) which featured mayhem from the Three Stooges and Hoosier Hotshots.

If you watch closely, you can spot him in: MARSHAL OF MESA CITY (RKO, 1939) with George O'Brien; THUNDERING HOOFS (RKO, 1941) and RIDING THE WIND (RKO, 1942) with Tim Holt; DAWN ON THE GREAT DIVIDE (Monogram, 1942) with Buck Jones; IN OLD CHEYENNE (Republic, 1941) and SOUTH OF SANTA FE (Republic, 1942) with Roy Rogers; and LOST CANYON (United Artists, 1943) with William 'Hopalong' Boyd. The Cooley band (with Tex Williams, Deuce Spriggens and Carolina Cotton) helped out Bing's brother Bob Crosby in SINGING SHERIFF (Universal, 1944). And the group (with Tex Williams) were in ROCKIN' IN THE ROCKIES (Columbia, 1945) which featured mayhem from the Three Stooges and Hoosier Hotshots.

Donnell Clyde Cooley, better known as Spade Cooley, was an American Western Swing musician, band leader, actor and television personality whose remarkable career ended in 1961 when he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his wife.
Cooley became famous as a popular Western Swing band leader who appeared in 38 Western films before he began hosting his own variety show on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, California. Broadcast from the Santa Monica Pier Ballroom beginning in June of 1948, The Spade Cooley Show became a mainstay of 1950s television and was viewed coast-to-coast via the Paramount Television Network.
But Cooley had a dark side. He suspected his second wife, Ella Mae, who was a singer in his band before they married, of repeatedly being unfaithful. In March 1961 she told a friend she had an affair with Roy Rogers in 1952 or 1953 and asked Cooley for a divorce.
On April 26, 1961, Cooley was indicted by a Kern County grand jury for the murder of his wife in the couple's Willow Springs, California ranch home. Cooley's 14-year-old daughter, Melody, reportedly told the jury she watched in terror as her father beat her mother's head against the floor, stomped on her stomach, then crushed a lighted cigarette against her skin to see whether she was dead.
Cooley claimed his wife had been injured by falling in the shower.
In what was the longest trial in county history at the time; Cooley was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
After serving only eight years, however, the state of California agreed to parole him and in November of 1969 he received a 72-hour furlough to play a benefit concert for the Deputy Sheriffs Association at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California. After the performance Cooley suffered a fatal heart attack in the backstage area. Today he is interred at Chapel of the Chimes cemetery in Hayward, California.

If you are new to Joaquin Murphey, (start at the 13:10 min. mark on this video).This amazing solo is why people still marvel at his playing. Keep in mind this was 71 years ago and still in the early stages of what the electric lap steel guitar could do.
The Spade Cooley Band, Live Audio from Nov ? 1945 .Dating these recordings takes some guess work.This one is even a little more difficult as this came to me as a low quality digital file and I don't have the master numbers to reference .I do know that it was recorded at the Riverside Rancho in Los Angeles Ca.
Thanks to the Steel Guitar Forum for the photo.This photo shows Andy Parker and the Plainsmen,with Joaquin Murphey & Carolina Cotton.The man in the light colored suit was someone from the Radio Station KMPC.
Disc is 16" transcription (likely ) H-4-834 ?

Joaquin Murphey 1976 solo Steel Guitar LP
This is one of Joaquin's solo LPs recorded Aug 24 1976.His playing here is quite different from his Spade Cooley or Tex Williams days in the mid to late 1940s.He is still able to play some nice things but is not the virtuoso that he once was.He did write several of these songs and they are pretty good.Overall I found this LP takes some getting use too, but is very enjoyable after you hear it a few times.The sound is "very 1976 Nashville sounding" which is not the best way to listen to music. I would like to thank all my 123 subscribers and everyone that listens to my channel.Two days ago was my 2 year anniversary of my first video which was Nov 2, 2014.When I started this channel I had no clue what to expect,but I have been very pleased with how it has grown.Below is an overview of the s...

Spade, The Life & Crimes of Spade Cooley
Donnell Clyde Cooley, better known as Spade Cooley, was an American Western Swing musician, band leader, actor and television personality whose remarkable career ended in 1961 when he was arrested and convicted for the murder of his wife. Cooley became famous as a popular Western Swing band leader who appeared in 38 Western films before he began hosting his own variety show on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles, California. Broadcast from the Santa Monica Pier Ballroom beginning in June of 1948, The Spade Cooley Show became a mainstay of 1950s television and was viewed coast-to-coast via the Paramount Television Network. But Cooley had a dark side. He suspected his second wife, Ella Mae, who was a singer in his band before they married, of repeatedly being unfaithful. In March 1961 she told a fr...

Spade Cooley - King of Western Swing - not really
The Boots and Saddle club had a contest to determine who was "The King of Western Swing" in the late 40s. The Bob Wills Band and the Spade Cooley band competed...and Spade won. But it was just a local group that did it in Hollywood. Needless to say, Bob Wills is THE king of western swing, and my hero.

Broadcast from the Santa Monica Pier Ballroom beginning in June of 1948, The Spade Cooley Show became a mainstay of 1950s television and was viewed coast-to-coast via the Paramount Television Network.
But Cooley had a dark side. He suspected his second wife, Ella Mae, who was a singer in his band before they married, of repeatedly being unfaithful. In March 1961 she told a friend she had an affair with Roy Rogers in 1952 or 1953 and asked Cooley for a divorce.
On April 26, 1961, Cooley was indicted by a Kern County grand jury for the murder of his wife in the couple's Willow Springs, California ranch home. Cooley's 14-year-old daughter, Melody, reportedly told the jury she watched in terror as her father beat her mother's head against the floor, stomped on her stomach, then crushed a lighted cigarette against her skin to see whether she was dead.
Cooley claimed his wife had been injured by falling in the shower.
In what was the longest trial in county history at the time; Cooley was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
After serving only eight years, however, the state of California agreed to parole him and in November of 1969 he received a 72-hour furlough to play a benefit concert for the Deputy Sheriffs Association at the Paramount Theater in Oakland, California. After the performance Cooley suffered a fatal heart attack in the backstage area. Today he is interred at Chapel of the Chimes cemetery in Hayward, California.

Sabbatical, De Phazz
Sabbatical
I must admit I'm getting tired
Of sitting on my cloud
Well, heaven's not what I desire
Eternity can wear you out
So I get lost on busy boulevards
Forget about my mission
Drown in a pair of tempting eyes
Cultivate my indecision
Is that you angel-devil?
(Yeah)
Bitter Berlin winter fog
Sweet flavor of Rome's summer smog
Spill the wine at café costes
Lisbon's rain I like the most
I must admit I'm getting tired
Of sitting on my cloud
Well, heaven's not what I desire
Eternity sure wear you out
Is that you angel-devil?
(Yeah)
I got get-down funky feeling
Inside my soul
But I have my reservations
