Thanks so much for spotlighting one of the favorite singers of my childhood. This makes me remember when we used to have REAL music, and a fairly coherent lifestyle; then came James Dean and Elvis Presley...
Vaughn used to sing on stage in West Falmouth on Cape Cod... He also dated my Aunt Martha... My parents said he drove a big convertible and was a real regular guy...
What was the deal with 'Racing with The Moon'? My dad said it referenced a lover killed in a car accident? Anyone know of this connection?
I loved that Bonanza episode. Vaughn taught one of the Cartright boys how to serenade his sweetheart! Vaughn got to sing his latest Dot recording in the show...Vaughn made, as I recall, 2 singing cowboy flicks for Republic, after their singing cowboy star, Roy Rogers, moved on to a TV series. I really woudn't classify Vaughn in the Welk mode tho!
I always liked Vaughn Monroe. I own quite a few of his recordings. There will never be another voice like it again. Thank you for posting this.
