Back in the late "70's my parents had the pleasure of meeting Ken Curtis in Apache Junction, AZ. A fine man.

@ArkRed1 That's not correct...Dick Haymes replaced Sinatra...Curtis came along later

Multi-talented performer. God given talent. Sure do miss his voice and presence.

HA...HA...HA...married him an Indian squaw!

Multi talented man. Married Pappy Ford's (the director of The Searchers), daughter and sang at his good friend Ward Bond's (Major Adams of Wagon Train fame),funeral as well as being a pall bearer for him along with other friends Duke Wayne, Henry Fonda, and Dobe Carey. What a pure and wonderful voice!

Did not know Ken Curtis was a singing Cowboy.

One of my favorite Western's The Searchers, one of the best with a great cast and crew! Go John Ford! And of course this song. Thank you so much for posting it.

@ArkRed1 My dad was chief of police in Des Moines, Ia...and him and Ken were really good friends.. He use to come to our house to visit, and they went to CA..and visited him...He was a great man and a great singer.. May they both rest in peace...
One of the finest fellows I ever worked with. I toured with Ken from 1974-78. Every performance was a classic. The look on people's faces when Ken started singing was priceless. A lot of people don't know that Ken took Frank Sinatra's place as band singer with Tommy Dorsey when Sinatra hit the big time. Rest in peace my friend.
