Tex Ritter - The Searchers

Tex sure could sing a song, and his son John was such a fine actor too.

One of the most beautifull and sad ballards ever !

[1951jmc]

not as good as the sons of the pioneers version .ken curtis (festus from gunsmoke )was the lead singer

WHO IS THIS S INGER? IS IT FROM THE O.S.T.?

John Wayne deserved an Oscar for his performance in this movie.

Even Simon Cowell would have to say that Tex had perfect pitch.

I'm confused. There is some debate as to WHO sang the opening version of this song in The Searchers. Some maintain it was Tex Ridder...but this is clearly not the same voice we hear in the movie. Interestingly, Ken Curts, the fellow who plays Charlie (and later Festus in Gunsmoke) sang with the group Sons of the Pioneers and he is said to be the singer. Anybody know for sure? P.S. John Ford was also Ken Curtis's father-in-law.

@TwoUselessLegs Yip...Ken Curtis did indeed sing the opening credit song along with the Pioneers....

[james28570]

@TwoUselessLegs No it was the Sons of the Pioneers.........
