Legendary western entertainers Roy
Rogers and Dale Evans, stars of radio, film, records,
television and personal appearances, were heroes to
millions of fans from the Saturday matinee era
throughout the television era. They were superstars who
both had excellent singing voices and their films
featured some of the most popular songs of all time!
While Roy and Dale found stardom in Hollywood, it was
always the music that shaped their careers.
The 28 films that Roy
and Dale starred in together contain more than 160
songs. Most of the songs were written exclusively for
the films and were never published, copyrighted or
performed anywhere else. When the films were cut to 54
minutes for television in the early 1950's, many songs
in the films landed on the cutting room floor never to
be heard again.
Each CD has 18
digitally re-mastered soundtrack recordings of songs
that have not been heard in over 50 years.
Available separately is a 4-CD Boxed Set of 157 original
musical sound track recordings that have been collected,
cleaned up from film stock that is now more than 50
years old, digitized and re-mastered. Included with the
CD set is a beautiful booklet with the lyrics of each
song.
