As I was listening to a bio on this man I thought "we really need someone like him back in the world".
Leonard Franklin Slye (1911-1998) was named Roy Rogers and was an American actor, singer, television host and even a rodeo performer. He sang with the Sons of the Pioneers for many years and portrayed a cowboy in several movies. His name, history and many attributes were all developed for him, but he did have a thing for music.
At the peak of his career, he received a lot of mail from his fans. Much of this was from fans who were parents and were writing to thank him for helping them to teach their children to be more honest, kinder and more generous.
I thought he would be someone it would be great to have in the world right now.

He is the only person inducted onto the Country Music HOF twice. The King of the Cowboys and his wife Queen of the West Dale Evans were superstars in their day. Far bigger than anyone today. Happy Trails to you!

Yes, indeed. I remember coming home from elementary school and watching them and Tarzan on the television.
