Roy Rogers (born Leonard Franklin Slye; November 5, 1911 – July 6, 1998) was an American singer and cowboy actor who was one of the most popular Western stars of his era. Known as the "King of the Cowboys", he appeared in over 100 films and numerous radio and television episodes of The Roy Rogers Show. In many of his films and television episodes, he appeared with his wife Dale Evans, his golden palomino Trigger, and his German Shepherd dog Bullet. His show ran on radio for nine years before moving to television from 1951 through 1957. His productions usually featured a sidekick, often Pat Brady, Andy Devine, or George "Gabby" Hayes. In his later years, Rogers lent his name to the Roy Rogers Restaurants franchised chain.
Rogers (Leonard Slye) was born to Mattie (née Womack) and Andrew "Andy" Slye in Cincinnati, Ohio. The family lived in a tenement building on 2nd Street, where Riverfront Stadium would later be constructed (Rogers would later joke that he was born at second base). Dissatisfied with his job and city life, Andy and his brother Will built a 12-by-50-foot (3.7 m × 15.2 m) houseboat from salvage lumber, and in July 1912 the Slye family traveled up the Ohio River towards Portsmouth, Ohio. Desiring a more stable existence in Portsmouth, they purchased land on which to build a house, but the Great Flood of 1913 allowed them to move the houseboat to their property and continue living in it on dry land.
Roy puts a stop to gun smuggling. Songs include the title song, "When a Pretty Girl Passes By," and "Rollin' Wheels." Near the border, outlaws are hijacking trains and using them to transport large quantities of rifles. Roy gets involved when the train that was to pick up his cattle fails to stop. Helping out the Sheriff, Roy brings in a suspect. He identifies him as a wanted man but the outlaw escapes with Roy as a hostage. Roy is taken to the gang leader's house where another hijacking is being planned. They also plan to get rid of Roy.

*May 2013 - Due to the amount of abusive and vulgar comments, the option has been removed. King of the Cowboys ROY ROGERS introduces Cole Porter's brand new western ballad, "DON'T FENCE ME IN" in the 1944 film, "HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN". He is accompanied by the Sons of the Pioneers. He also does a few tricks with Trigger. The movie was a World War II star parade featuring real Hollywood Canteen founders Bette Davis and John Garfield as well as The Andrews Sisters, Ida Lupino, Joan Leslie, Dennis Morgan, Kitty Carlisle, and lots more!
For "TheQuoteEnthusiast"! Gabby is the foreman of the Ladder A Ranch, where the owners are looking for a little help fighting their lawless competitor. Roy arrives and tries to sort the mess, no one knowing he is an undercover Deputy Marshal. He scores points when he enters in time to rescue Dale from a sinking buckboard stuck in a pond. *This is the cut version. So far, I haven't even been able to find a VHS tape of the uncut film.

Singing cowboy movie stars like Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Gene Autry were my first movie heroes as a TV-weaned Baby Boomer kid in the early-to-mid-'50s. Fast-forwarding to 1993, when I was a PR director with Rhino Entertainment, the company's A&R; director James Austin produced the 4-CD "Songs of the West" boxed set, and yours truly, volunteered to handle the PR for the project. Roy and Dale were featured prominently on "Songs of the West," with more than a dozen of their classic recordings going back to the Sons of the Pioneers, and of course including a duet of "Happy Trails." The couple liked the project and graciously made themselves available to Rhino for a few key interviews to help us promote it. One interview was with major Roy & Dale fan and friend Leonard Maltin for "Entertainm...

What a day was yesterday
Oh, yesterday gave me you
All my schemes and golden dreams
At last it seems have come true
Until I found you, the skies were always gray
Then like a sunshine you drove the clouds away
You'll never guess my happiness
When you said yes, yesterday
Days may come and go but one day you'll know
We'll live as the day of days
It was yesterday that I heard you say
I'll love you dear always
What a day was yesterday
Oh, yesterday gave me you
All my schemes and golden dreams
At last it seems have come true
Until I found you, the skies were always gray
Then like a sunshine you drove the clouds away
You'll never guess my happiness
