He rode the smartest horse in the movies, and he rounded up the scoundrels while still fighting fair. He could steal the show with a gun or a guitar. Roy Rogers did things bigger and better than everyone else. His comic books sold over a million copies a month and his television show drew a huge, loyal viewership. At the height of his popularity, Roy’s films and personal appearances broke all attendance records. He stayed at the top of that list for more than a decade. In 1943, he passed Gene Autry to become Hollywood’s top western star. In his career, Roy appeared in more than 100 films. To this day, Roy Rogers remains one of the most popular cowboys ever to ride the range during the golden age of westerns. There were plenty of horseback heroes, but every week, that sagebrush crooner and “King of the Cowboys,” Roy Rogers, led the pack. It didn’t matter where you were because we all ended up in the same place: riding side by side with our favorite cowboys of the Old West. Some settled in for a double feature at the local moviehouse and some strapped on six-guns in the backyard.
