  • LONG LIVE ROY AND DALE AND TRIGGER!

  • When I was young, I went to Roy Roger's museum when it was in California. I got a rare chance to meet him in person. His dog was there too and it was a great dane. I don't remember much of him, but I do remember that he was a really nice guy. Before they passed away, they lived in Apple Valley.

  • i have a roy rogers autograph for sale £45 +pap

  • My My, this song does such a good thing to me. at almost age 71 I had never heard this song b4 last night- Sept 4,2011. I'll always love you Trigger, you are a part of me.

    thanks for this post. Winston- in Canada

  • I consider myself fortunate, to have grown up, when I did. I'm a film buff who loves all genres, especially the old B-westerns. Ah, yes.. I was looking for a job, in San Francisco, when I heard the news.. A pity, we have to lose our gems before we appreciate their value.. True, I loved Clint Eastwood, in those 'Spaghetti' Westerns, now and then, it's good to look at those movies that taught us how to live clean and play fair..

  • 1:18 "the silver screen that gave our lives a meaning...they gave a nation's children hope. NO COMMENT!

  • I do not remember a time when I did not love Roy Rogers--King of the Cowboys! I watched every film, every weekly show, every special! My dad worked at Bendix and every Christmas Bendix would hold a party for the Kid.. There was almost always a Roy Rogers Movie. THOSE WERE THE DAYS! I had the joy of meeting him a year before he dies. He was all I thought he'd be and more. Just like talking to a friend or neighbor. I went to kiss him on the cheek and he turned and kissed my lips! WOW!!!!

  • What a wonderful song, and a great tribute to the true legends of the "Old West". Roy Rogers and Trigger.

  • This made me cry.....There will never be another time like this....What a wonderful man Roy was. What a great horse Trigger was....then sold out to a corporation. Money rules all. :(

  • Yes, that trail museum is really cool. I remember when it was originally built in Victorville, CA and then they disassembled it and moved it to Branson.

  • Trigger was in the move Robin Hood, with Earl Flynn. Long before he was Trigger

  • Dusty was a jerk at Chatsworth High School...he never let me into my locker...

  • @ojaigal Sorry, but that is funny ... plus, I can so see it! :D"

  • Can't believe it was so long ago - but what a horseman, what a horse. By the way you have a wonderful voice! Thanks

  • @singinhinny I am sure we all did things in our passed young and dumb as we all where. He could have taken your lunch money...lol

  • gosh, i pine for the days growing up with the fresh clean childhood with the likes of trigger and roy rogers and children's hour and the likes, please G(D bring back those fresh wholesome days of bologny sandwiches and saturday mornings and safety. thank you

  • @ednuk Obviously, you aren't black.

  • We had the opportunity to see the Roy Rogers Museum in Branson, Missouri & we took our grand-daughters with us & told all about Roy & Dale & Bullitt & Trigger & Buttermilk & Pat & his jeep. They were surprized we had Black & White TV in the OLD DAYS!

  • @luap123311 Yep,Pat's jeep, Nellie Belle. I still have my metal toy Nellie Belle with rubber tires and workin'

    steering wheel, plus some of the figures from my Roy Rogers Ranch set *still love 'em* Would have been more surprised that we didn't even have TV much before that!!! hahaha

  • Very nice tribute and very great song and delivery of.

  • What a fantastic tribute, your voice should be heard on the radio. Great song to to a great hero=TRIGGER

  • Sadly the Roy rogers museum in Branson is no more. they closed and sold off the aritfacts. I grew up in that era and it's true, many of us "boys" learned how to comport ourselves watching Roy and Trigger catch the "bad guys".

  • I saw Trigger at the Roy Rogers Museum when it was in Victorville, CA. Recently I learned the museum decided to put Trigger up for action. That is a very sad day andI am sure Roy would not be happy about that.

  • Dreams - places I have never been -- dreams

    my favourite dreams in July of 65..

  • WHERE CAN WE WRITE TO SAVE TRIGGER AND BULLITT. THAT WOULD BE A SHAME TO DESTROY THEM BY JUST THROWING THEM AWAY. THEY ARE A PART OF AMERICAN HISTORY.  true that's what we are today a throw-away nation.

  • It's a shame that the Roy Rogers museum in Branson is closing and no one wants Trigger or Bullet!! Not even the Smithsonian!! Come on Kentucky Horse Park give them a final home please!!

  • @cecigw im with ya! i live 10 min from the ky park and they need that home!! they have elvis now!! comeon guys give them a home buttermilk,trigger,and bullet comeon ky park brigim home!!!!!!!!!

  • @cecigw I wish it could happen.. As a 'Baby Boomer', I was quite fortunate to grow up as I did.. Your Kentucky Horse Park is the ONLY PLACE for them.. I was living in San Francisco, when I got the news that Trigger died.. A big piece of my childhood..

  • thank you so much. he was my hero

  • In the YouTube search bar type in: "Trigger's film debut"...if you didn't already know this bit of Hollywood trivia it might just surprise you!

  • As a child I watched all the cowboy shows . Loved Trigger,Mr ED etc. The shows were good clean fun. Ofcourse I was bitten by the Equine bug from these shows and now have a backyard full of horses... . Trigger sure was a beautiful golden stallion..I was 5 when he passed away..I wish they would make shows like this still.

  • Well,, the real wild west was absolutley nothing like seen in the movies. Those hats were never worn. No real cowboy ever wore a rediculous fringe shirt like that. or those cowboy boots.

    The west as seen in the movies never existed.

  • @xvoy2002 I have the Time-Life series on the 'Old West', if I want the facts.. Of course; horses ran forever, guns fired without reloading.. Since the days of Tom Mix, we wanted to be entertained.. We know this..! Can't you just let us all be entertained? I played with my toy cowboys, and, I had my little Roy Rogers doing stuff you see in Kung Fu movies.. We were kids then! Nobody told us of stunt men..! So, just let us be entertained, ok..?

    \

  • @xvoy2002 That may be true, but their shows gave us all a love for the West that never died. I am thankful for that! I do still love the vintage TV western look too ... because it is fun. Now it is up to us to save what is left of the REAL old West. Our government is trying to eliminate America's Wild Mustangs, our Nation's heritage and Icons of the American West.

  • I met Roy Rogers several times and he was always very nice. One time (1972) in York, PA I managed to get backstage and was with him in his dressing room and he posed for photos for me.

  • Yes, we miss it..This what we gave up for so-called 'reallity' tv..With so much garbage for the eye and ears, it's nice recall how we liked seeing the good guys win; not reality, but, at least we felt a lot better..At 65, I think I had it good as a kid..At least my heroes were people kids could look up to..Today, with punks, thugs, and foul-mouthed, bad girls, who look 27-going-on-15, isn't it unusual, seeing a hero who looks like he bathes every day?

  • I agree and I'm 19, I much prefer this to all the crap on tv, I love old westerns, John Wayne is my favorite!

  • Im one of those 'Baby Boomers' who wanted to be like Roy, and a horse like TRigger..Gee...! was looking for a job, in San Francisco, when I heard about it. I lost a real pal..!

  • Class, class & more class ..all the way. Now what do we have? Bunch of welfare bums pumping their crotches and talking a song. Sad, sad , & pathetically sadder. Yuck !

  • @Hollcall I agree..Today, who wants to see a movie, with no cussin', and a guy who looks like he takes a bath every day?

  • @Hollcall yep, I can not watch those shows.

  • @Hollcall yep, I can not watch the new shows. I loved those shows, my dear dad bought me a $50 dollar horse and I loved her too, had great fun riding her and watching the good shows, she ate before I did and to this day my pets eat first, old as I am I still ride a horse, Roy Rogers was just wonderful. We need more men like him and the rest .........

  • I still ride and love horses and I think part of it is due to Roy and Dale.

  • @Rainy55 I had a horse; lots of spirit='til I got bucked off, and Aunt Laura put 'im back with all the other stuff in the broom closet..

  • love it thank u

  • Beautiful! I am sad that the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans is closing forever on Dec 12, 2009 and everything will be auctioned off.

    The legend will not go on except in the movies.

  • hi, great song about old roy and trigger,i also wrote a song about trigger, called trigger the smart horse of the movie, i most say that i met roy in person in 1954,i also have my own trigger that is doing many good tricks, you can see some of my video clip on also on youtube, and also check my own western web site, tex lavallee the canadian western performer,

  • This was really nice -

    Sadly, we'll never see the likes or the Class of Roy and Dale again. It was a great time and I, for one, miss it.

  • Fortunately almost hundred movies keeps their memories, and thanks for the internet and dvd technology, we can watch them again anytime! Only problem is that will not any more produced. Happy trails for them, we hope, we'll meet again!

  • @GodsFavoriteBassPlyr Yes we will, my friend. Look back across history. Heroes are always the same, in whichever land or time. They're what we all wish to be. This'll never change and as long as this is true, they'll always come back us. Don't forget whom Trigger was associated with before Roy found him. Robin Hood!

    Happy Trails,

    Norm

  • @GodsFavoriteBassPlyr I am SO with you ... miss them both terribly. But I, for one, intend to see them again! Bless God! The way Roy and Dale led their lives and shared their testimonies accounts for a HUGE part of why today I have a little ranch and I and my family (and many, many more) have come to know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. They also are a big part of my love for traditional western music, values, and way of life. They walked their talk!

  • Comment removed

  • OMG! That is beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye.

  • IF we could turn back time maybe we would all have HAPPY TRAILS because we would just TAKE A LIKING to one another....Nice.

  • What a beautiful tribute! How we miss them.

  • The Good Lord took a liking to 'em.

  • @GrizAnn AMEN to that!!!

  • The world needs more actors and actresses like Roy and Dale as well as horses like Trigger. Thank you for this tribute!

  • my dear,my english is not so good.but you are alwright.Trigger was soooo wonderful,and Roy also.More of them please in TV

  • ich liebe dieses Pferd,hab alle Filme von Roy und Trigger gesehen.Mann merkte,dass Die zusammen gehören.Das war nicht respielt

  • Beautiful song and video. It brought tears to my eyes. Blessing to you always and may good health always be with you. Love ya always

  • what great memories of Roy, Dale, & Trigger! the smartest horse in the movies!

  • A horse, of course.  Man's best friend...

  • Wonderful. Trigger was the smartest and most beautiful horse i have ever seen. I met Roy and Dale in person but I never got to see Trigger personally. I would love to have a video of this. I have a copy of every movie they made.

  • @talulla1961 How I'd love to shake the hand that shook hands with Roy Rogers!

  • This is so Beautiful .I am tears thinking of Roy & Trigger Thanks for posting

  • If you ever want to visit Trigger come to Branson Missouri! We have the Happy Trails museum that Dusty Rogers runs and preforms at.

  • Thanks for that, mate. I met Dusty when I was performing as the opening act for "The Sons of the Pioneers" a few years ago. It's how I got the song, from an idea after talking with the late and great Dale Warren.

    Cheers,

    Leighton

  • @lbwombat I too once met Dusty.. He was not quite so nice. Nothing like his dad.

    And now he's sold off Trigger and Bullet....and someone else bought Buttermilk with no mention of Trigger Jr. They should all be together. Too bad someone needs money so bad they have to sell of such a legacy as Roy and Dale.

  • @wildhorsestudios1421 That is so, so, sad..! Well, at least, thanks to Ebay, I finally got those figures of Roy, Dale, and, a beautifully made rearing horse, and, a dog..

    Damn..! AT 65, I am one happy kid..! Did you ever have a Roy Rogers playset..?

  • @zipper179 Not sure what the play set would have been. I had Roy Rogers bedspread, curtains, boots, guns. And I still have my RR and Trigger thermos but the lunch pail is long gone. Got my old Covered Wagon night lamp and a set of RR VHS with my fav Trigger Jr tape. No idea what will happen to it sitting under a speaker here in my recording studio however.

  • @wildhorsestudios1421 They were made by a toy company, called 'MARX', and, there was another, called 'STUART'.. It was in the 50's(I'm dating myself, proudly!),when I first saw them..WOW-SO..! Cowboys & horses, with saddles & bridles.. We kids would make up our own games, and play, all the livelong day..!

    Well, I never officially got one; but, now, I have some, and, I'm one happy kid, looking 66, in September..!

  • @wildhorsestudios1421 The playset was the RR Ranch .... cardboard fencing, as I remember with plastic figures of the entire cast and potmetal workin' Nellie Belle ... horses had removable saddles and bridles ... so jealous of the stuff you had to live in though! ;D

  • @zipper179 I did! And at age 65, I still have some of the pieces, including Nellie Belle ;D Congrats on your ebay find!

  • @wildhorsestudios1421 Yep, wish I was rich enough to buy them all back and put them together again. But those are just the shells ... we can be reunited with them all in eternity. This administration cannot take that from us! Thank God!

  • @lbwombat I also grew up watching these fantastic shows so sad to never seen these in reruns for our grand children those were the good old days for sure

  • @lbwombat I was gonna ask if you wrote that song, Leighton. It is truly inspired and your voice is beautiful. Thank you SOO much for honoring Trigger is such a fitting way. I love you for this. <3 Susan

  • @matteafan21 I wish I'd been in time to see it. Isn't it interesting that the King of the Cowboys has been gone 12 years, but it wasn't until this administration that the IRS forced the sale of his property. God help us.

    Norm

  • @theshadow1932 Omigosh ... this administration is selling off ALL of our past, our public lands, our Wild Mustangs ... you name it .., nothing is sacred, not even our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Look up R.W. Hampton's YouTube entitled ... Not for Sale!

  • @theshadow1932 PS: God is the only one that CAN help us now. AMEN.

  • Beautiful song and great vid!

  • What a wonderful tribute to 2 important figures of our past when stars led moral lives to lead all of the children and adults who loved them.

  • Excellent song! Never have heard it before, but what a tribute to a wonderful man and his horse. Oh to go back to to the days when men like Roy were the entertainers!

  • Very nice ,ah what great days with  Roy and Trigger and Dale. Sure changed days with all the sick garbage on the screens nowdays.

  • What a beautiful song to a real American Legend...one who we wish Kids had today for Healthy Entertainment !! Great Song. Thanks...
