Johnny Horton had several great tunes! North To Alaska is a great movie!

[loveyourobert]

I saw this movie at the drive-in in Tulsa, Oklahoma when I was 10 years old & I will be 63 in March & I still love this song.

[Scorpion7434]

Funny how this song makes me nostalgic for a time when I wasn't even born yet.

[remylongstrid]

im the malaysian people also like this song.....

[JonesTarpley]

Finally a version with decent quality audio and at the right speed.

[PeterWhistle]

Amazing as it might seem to you all in the US, but I always thought this version was sung by Johnny Cash! Actually I wouldn't be able to recognize Johnny Horton's voice, as I grew up in the communist era Czechoslovakia. Today I listened to it (heard it many times before, but without name being announced!) and it amazes me how close it is both to Elvis and Johnny Cash! Those of you who grew up in the US can never dream of hearing / recognizing Johnny Horton only after Elvis and J. Cash. :-)

My band, the Poor Boys once was the warmup act for Johnny Horton at the Ector County Coliseum in Odessa, TX. For some reason Johnny and I were alone in the "green room" such as it was. I was telling him I had just been offered a football scholarship from a major university. He told me he'd been offered a basketball scholarship at Baylor and had turned it down. He said he regretted it and encouraged me to pursue my education. I did and it sure paid off for me. Richard of the Poor Boys

love the song and the film

[gradefailer101]

My Grandma, Grandpa, and I were playing this record at their house about a week ago. While we were playing it, my grandma told me my grandpa used to sing this song when they were dating 50 years ago. I thought this was such a great story !

[boxell1986]

I love Johnny Horton and I love John Wayne movies, i could listen to Johnny Horton all day and night and I could watch John Wayne movies (mostly the westerns) all day if I could. We have quite a few on DVD.
