My late husband used to sing Ghost Riders n the sky to me bc he knew How much I loved this song!!Gene Autry had nothing on him!!😂He went to Heaven 17 yrs ago. Had he lived 2 more mths we would have celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary! I’ll see hm soon❤️❤️🙏
A curious moment of perspective occurred to me today: Without *Gene Autry* and *Roy Rogers,* *Woody* from *Toy Story* probably wouldn't exist. What a sadder world that would be for many.
Met Gene outside of Boston Garden after the Rodeo. I was about 9 in 1949or 1950. What a gentleman. You know he loved kids. He talked to each one individually. This is one meeting I have never forgotten,
kids heros of today are rap singers that deal and do drugs and sing about perverse immoral acts which is nothing short of a disgrace if its not rap singer its a wife beating pro athlete dope head or the like
My grandpa introduced me to this song. The original, not some crap remake. Now I'm showing it to my son, named after my grandpa. Sadly he passed 6 years before my son was born, but we keep his memory alive, that's certain. I miss him so much. Nobody will ever come close to filling the void he left. Best man I ever knew and grateful for every second I got with him
On Amazon, I got softcover book about Stan Jones, the Singing Ranger, and a CD with 30 different Singers singing Ghost Riders in the Sky. 2 Women Singers on it too. 4 years ago..Plus on here UTUBE, There are 2 Videos about the The Cowboy Legend "Ghost Riders In The Sky". It started in Texas in 1889, very awful Tragic Story, but through Time and Legends The 1948 Song, came about written by Stan Jones, in 1948..Music and Lyrics. Greatest Sing ever Written, recordered over 100 times, at least, and lots of great instrumetal versons!! And recently new recordings by young artists. Plus a Parody Project with Johnny Cash somehow, called Ghost Donald in the Sky. It's good and Funny, so True too. It's here on UTUBE too. 🎶🎵🎶🤗🥰💕❤💕🐴🐎😅
Other than Stan Jones, the two best singers are Gene Autry and Marty Robbins, both are clear and deliver it more as a story than as a song. Growing up, I loved watching Gene Autry or listening to him on our old 1946 Zenith radio. That was back in the 1950s. I recently found his complete series of shows on DVD, now this 70 y/o lady can watch him again.
My later Uncle Huey Mosley worked for Mr. Autry after Army WW2 and College my uncle had a major in accounting and a minor in restaurant and hotel management.
Yes, I finally got to hear Gene Autry's "Ghost Riders in the Sky" Great Singing. Yes, he did keep the Lyric "The Ghost Herd In the Sky" lot of recordings leave that line out. Dont know why. Leaving it in makes sense. Ghost Riders, Chasing "The Ghost Herd in the Sky" So far 6 or 7 Artists have left that lyric in their recordings. Nice🎶🎵🎶🤗🥰💕❤💕😊
I’ve heard almost all the innumerable variations of this song and this one is unique in the last verse, where the chorus takes over and sings “if you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range!” I don’t believe that any other rendition does this, quite interesting and dramatic. The harmony they use is also very interesting. Also note that there are 18 riders: 6+6+6. Probably intentional.
The 1950s, the time of simple Western Entertainment. Remember watching Gene Autry and Roy Rodgers and the Lone Ranger on our first Television, my how this World has changed.
'If you wanna save your soul From hell a-riding on our range Then, cowboy, change your ways today Or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies this gives me chills because i know need yo change before i doom myself
My favorite singing cowboy.there is no song of his that isn’t great and his movies are awesome too.if anyone has melody ranch movie can they upload here
Before a cowboys are not professional in school and that's reason a grade of the brother of my grand father he is only grade 3 in school because of thier stories in life of thier parents 🤠 and he is one founder of guerilla fighter group he is soldier in WW2...
My Grandpa told me Gene Audrey was his favorite singer & found this. I am blown away!!!!!! Awesome! I like Johnny Cash's version and like it. But holy freaking crap!!!!!! Awesome! Was this a Western? Wow!!! Thank you for posting!!! My Grandpa died 2006. That was awesome shit!
Tuve la oportunidad de ver la película y me repetí algunas veces hasta terminar de aprender la canción que fué en mi niñez, mi juventud y hasta ahora una de mis canciones favoritas. Me gusta también la versión de Johnny Cash y la versión instrumental de Ramrods, que gracias a esta tecnología las puedo apreciar mejor.
Gene Autry cria esta canção em 1949! Johnny Cash (que eu adoro) canta-a cerca de 30 anos depois! Ambos são admiráveis, mas Autry é Autry e Cash é Cash!!!
