Italian operatic tenor Mario del Monaco sings the cowboy classic "Ghost Riders in the Sky" (in Italian; "Cavalieri del cielo") which was an inspiration for the Door's "Riders on the Storm." Charting versions of this song were recorded by Vaughn Monroe, Bing Crosby, Frankie Laine, Marty Robbins, and by Johnny Cash. I thought a picture of Del Monaco as Dick Johnson would be appropriate.

Thanks very much to maestro Shore for sending this to me to post.
