Late 1950s TV western themes

Here are some themes to some late 1950s TV westerns. These are not done by the people that did them for the show, but are from some children's records from the time period.

Looks like you forgot the most popular tWestern Hero of the 50's. Cheyenne,

[Normk1111]

I didn't forget. I only used records that I own. So, I didn't have one for Cheyenne, so that's why no Cheyenne.

Wow...$.49 albums with a special price of $.23. Reminds me of gasoline prices of .$.24 a gallon when I was a kid.

At last ... the theme of Tenderfoot (sugarfoot in USA). Thanks a lot! It takes me back 45 years to Saturday nights in wintry London to the special treat of all of us brothers sitting in front of our BW telly whilst Dad, as a special treat, would serve us scrambled eggs. Strange - music and memories!

@unclebobunclebob ...Cheyenne which ran from 1955 to 1963, started out as part of a series called Warner Bros. presents.... Cheyenne proved to be the most popular of the series due to it's bigger than life star Clint Walker..and soon the other two shows were cancelled.....In 1958 Mr Walker walked out due to a contract dispute..and that was when Bronco and Sugarfoot came to be...Clint returned in 1959.....But Cheyenne was by far the most popular show...and most certainly had it's own theme....

@Labaron26 These were singles, not albums.

@pegomyheart1 if i remember correctly, Cheyenne was part of a trio of rotating cowboy shows...the others being Sugarfoot and Bronco Lane...so really, it wasn't the most popular since it didn't even own its own spot in totality. But I liked it.

A noble effort, but these are pretty sad versions of these songs, and a couple I don't even remember. Two that come to mind that were classics is "The Rebel" and "Have Gun Will Travel"

never knew the Gunsmoke theme had lyrics. great collection you got there!

[Thorwald88]

@Labaron26 I am reasonably certain that these are single records, two-sided. They sold for 49 cents each new -- except when they had just about stopped selling them. I grew up on 78 rpms, which were always getting broken but we could buy them used for 10 cents at a record shop that also provided jukebox services. They we went to "albums" (33 rpm) but they didn't really displace 45's for several years.

Wow! In my 53 years, I never knew "Gunsmoke" had LYRICS. Thanx for sharing this.

[EyesofMarkWick]

I still have a 33-1/3 album with many of these exact recordings on it but I haven't heard them in years because I have no way of playing it. Thanks for posting this.

Brings back a lot of memories. I used to talk to Dale Robertson. He had horses at Santa Anita.
