Gil Favor and Adam Cartwright were my first boyfriends--they just didn't know it.

I was born almost years too late to get to see Eric Fleming at his height (I was born in 1982). My grandmother introduced me to Rawhide when I was a child. Immediately, I fell for the trail boss. Eric portrayed the former Confederate Captain with such believability that it was easy to picture him riding proudly under the Star and Bars, fighting against the Yankees to keep his way of life. I've seen every episode and nearly every movie, and love him more every time I re-watch them!

Thanks for this. He was the real star of Rawhide even though Clint and the others were great and Clint went on to be a big star on the big screen but Eric was the one that made this series at the time.

@race2run You said it! Fridays used to belong to shows like Rawhide and The Twilight Zone, now there is nothing but diddly squat.
Happy New Year.

I loved Eric, thank you so much for putting this together. His rich baritone voice is so well known with Head'm Up Move'm Out!

I just watched an early movie he made call Fright, last night. He had the perfect 1950's style modulated voice.

Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to our hero! The song is perfect and the video is wonderful! Eric Fleming lives on forever in the hearts of all those who love him. The fact that it has been 42 years since his death and he still has fans all around the world is evidence that this is one special man who will never be forgotten! Rest easy, Boss. We'll keep the campfire burning and the coffee hot. Our love is always with you!!!
