Dennis Daily shares another of his more than 200 "American Montage" broadcasts from his days with the old UPI Radio Network. In this episode, Dennis visits with Fred Foy. He was the narrator of "The Lone Ranger" from 1947 until the end of the show's run. His intro to the show, over the William Tell Overture, is thought to be one of the most memorable in broadcast history.

  • Mr. Foy's intro to The Lone Ranger has got to be the most exciting thing I've ever heard. Maybe the greatest announcer of all time.

  • He left us something we will never forget

  • Another great one gone. RIP Fred Foy.

  • R.I.P. Fred.

  • RIP FRED FOY

  • @Brace67 Fred's voice is the only one that comes to mind when you think of the Lone Ranger. Thanks to UPI Radio's Mr Daily for sharing this.

  • God Speed Mr. Foy.

  • The marvelous Fred Foy is gone. What a voice! His intro to the Lone Ranger series was so unique and wonderful. No one who is my age can ever forget the music and Fred Foy's voice as he says "The fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty Hi-Oh Silver, The Lone Ranger"! We remember.

  • RIP Fred Foy, you were the best!

  • And this was before Foy joined ABC in New York (and WABC-TV/radio), working alongside such golden voices as Carl Caruso, Scott Vincent, Ed Jordan, George Ansbro, Tedd Lawrence, Don Dowd, Bill Rice, Bill Owen, Gilbert Hodges, Allan Jefferys, George Hayes et al.
