Tumbling Tumbleweeds Sons of the Pioneers with Roy Rogers 

Hello I'm a former bareback bronc rider and in 1974 I was at one of lorretta Lynn's longhorn rodeo company I rode her bareback bronc Coal miners daughter the same year I met Roy Rodgers that year will always be special memories lorretta Lynn' had me sit with her children while she performed I also met the son's of pioneers and we sang tumbling tumble weed another great experience for me

I miss this America. And I was not born yet.

Met him once once when I was a kid. He was the nicest, most humble and generous man you’d ever want to meet. I’m 73 now and it’s still one of my greatest memories that I’ll never forget.

Bob Nolan, who wrote Tumbling Tumbleweeds, earned 13 major awards and honors; also named a Poet Laureate of the West. His music has been seriously underrated, I believe. God bless his memory, and the memories of all of the Sons of the Pioneers!

if america had more hero's today maybe just maybe, our kids would be better poeple. roy and dale always wanted love and kindness ,and did it through the bible with song

The only true "western" music. Such talent!!

Ahhh, the days of 10 cent movies, good old days, actually good ole afternoons!

There will never be another Roy Rogers and dale Evans.I loved them both so much and lets not forget Trigger the Horsr.

An era that will not return, and the world is a sadder place because of it.

Bob Noland drove a city bus in Bakersfield when I was a kid. My sister work for the bus company as a secretary and I was introduced when I was about six. I used to love to ride on his bus because he sang all them good old dogs that my grandma played on 78s.

This us the kind of heroes and singers I was raised up on. They were respected and were all american. I still watch the Grit Western channels everyday.

my pops was a true cowboy in the western slope of Colorado, he loved this music and I love it because of him. Miss you dad

Roy Rogers was the greatest!!!!!

I’m 67. Of course I grew up with Roy really Leonard. We had the Sons of the Pioneers. He and Dale lived in the Apple Valley. He had open spaces for sure. Dale Evans wrote a book called Angels Unaware. I now understand why my mother bought this book. My sister had CP and nobody talked about it. Now I have my own son Ben who is DD. I often think of Dale and what a PIONEER she was in her own way. God bless them. From a grateful generation who watched you every Saturday morning. Love from US

He and Dale were our Saturday shows.

I Absolutely Love Roy

When music was real. I cut my teeth on this music!

My mother used to sing this while cleaning house... Early 50's...

I grew up with the Beatles, but every Saturday and Sunday morning dad would have the SOP's on the stereo. Then from about 1965 thru 1971 (when I got drafted) Lloyd, Tim, Tommy, Hugh, Bob, Roy L. and sometimes Roy R. would gather at our house and they would play for a couple of hours and talk and tell stories between songs. I was the luckiest kid to be able to sit next to any of these guys who were just as nice as nice could be. I especially liked to hear Roy L. (a great guitarist) and strum along. It was just great.

Did you all know that Ken Curtis was in there too? He played Festus on Gunsmoke

The sons of the Pioneers are still around today, people should support them and go see them in concert when they come around !

Sure miss Roy Rogers & a host of other cowboys from the '40s/50 - radio & early TV,

I love that beautiful horse Roy Rogers rides in this video. Trigger was well trained and how he danced!!! He looked so happy with Roy Rogers. I think the best times for the Sons of the Pioneers were in the 1930s all the way through the 1950s, specially during the 40s with Roy Rogers. The best country group of all times, The Sons of the Pioneers were unique, in my personal opinion, and NO ONE can sing Ghost Riders in the Sky as half as good as they do. I love all their songs, but Home on the Range, Empty Sadles in the Old Corral, and The Navajo Trail are three of my favorite songs by them.

I met him in Little Creek, Va. When he was opening a new restaurant! He came to a local talent show that afternoon, and commended me on a song i had done! He said I sounded like Red Sovine when I did Teddy Bear! Took first place that day! WOW THE MEMORIES of the mid 70s!

Everybody loved Roy and trigger❤❤❤

I thought it was great then because I was a kid, but no, it was a very simple life back then even for adults. I miss it

those long ago songs still thrill my heart. only wish they would sing that type songs now

This is My Favorite song by the Pioneers, "Tumbleweeds". We will never see them as great as this. Something about back then, the voices, the Instrumentals, and the outfits, that were a one of a kind.

A an adult I saw Roy with the Sons when they performed at the opening of a Roy Rogers restaurant in my town. He was always my favorite and as a little kid -- I had the whole RR regalia -- guns, hat, shirt, boots etc. Plus a RR lunch box and book bag. King of the Cowboys and king of the hearts of lots of little girls and boys. I still have my RR wristwatch. When I was a kid in the 1950's -- we had heroes like him -- the guy in the white hate who always did the right thing.

This gives me chills because I was a young kid at this time but I remember this and I loved it!! A wonderful time that reminds me that I was just a kid and allowed to be a kid!!!

I will listen to this .. till .....

Just made a spontaneous 300 mile trip to Pioneertown to see one of my favorite musicians at Pappy and Harriet's. Seeing the Sons of the Pioneers album on the wall there reminded me of my dad. He loved these old songs.......as I always will.

I saw the Sons of the Pioneers at Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California in the mid 1980s if I remember correctly. It was a real pleasure! The Sons of the Pioneers still had a couple of the original members with them and they sounded even better live in person than they did on their records. They also waited after the concert to chat with those of us in the audience who wanted to talk with them and get autographs. I don't think I've ever had as good a time at a singing group's concert as I did at this Sons of the Pioneers gathering! I should add I had a number of their records - that was how I originally learned about them and grew to like their music.

' See them tumbling down , Pledging their love to the ground Lonely but free I'll be found , drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds . ' - Zen Cowboy

Watched Roy Rogers as a kid.great stuff.

The music that was, the sounds of "The sons of the Pioneers" has a beautiful effects on one soul. In fact it polishes the lens of ones soul.

Life was harder back then but they knew how to enjoy life atbthe same time ! Roy and Trigger had to be something to see !

Trigger was a very well trained horse, and kept his cool inside a crowded room!

boy , roy rogers and trigger were great. thank you .

I lived half a block away from Roy and this great horse in apple valley Ca

Sure love Roy, "May The Good Lord Take A Liken To Ya"😀

Trigger would Never be allowed in a crowd like that now!

I never met Roy,but I have met Royjr."Dusty" Rogers & he is one of the nicest,humblest,genuine greatest men I have ever met! We need more real men like Dusty & the Son's of the Pioneers!& Ranger Doug & Riders in the Sky!

I can remember shaking hands with Roy & petting Trigger at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was around 6yrs, 80yrs now. Roy was a guest of honor at the circus there. Forbes Field was home of the Pittsburgh Pirates ball team. Forbes Field was demolished & replaced by 3 Rivers Stadium.

God Bless all the Cowboys of yesterday too today. Nothing defines the USA better than Cowboys..known all over the world!!!

I loved the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Show ! ... and as a kid I just loved his close relationship to his horse , Such a sweet and kind man , with talent galore ! and Dale too . Wonderful memories !

Goodness, don't remember Roy being this young, but I do remember watching the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans show! Wow!

Music is such a beautiful thing.

The Sons of the Pioneers .... they were great. I still love listening listening to them.With Roy Rogers ... just does not get much better ... .

No one could do this song better than Roy Rogers!

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen was Roy Rodgers riding Trigger across an open prairie.

When music was still music.

God. This brings back memories.😂

My mom grew up watching Roy, she used to sing his songs to me when I was little.

Roy and trigger were my favorites.

People back in the past were always so skinny, I remember all these songs

ALL ROY ROGERS SONGS ARE EXCELLENT🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Sons of the Pioneers also featured Ken Curtis as the lead singer. He was great.

I got to see Roy and the Sons at the Houston Fatstock show in the Hoffeinz Pavilian back in the day. What a show.

Still my hero in every way. Will always love and miss Roy!

Bob Nolan co-founder of Sons of the Pioneers along with Leonard Slye (Roy Rogers). Bob was born Clarence Robert Nobles in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada. A good Canadian boy, as Don Cherry would say. Tumbling Tumbleweeds and Cool Water. Two fantastic songs.

Omg these remind me of my dad he lived these songs bless you for posting them.

When I was a kid, in the 50's I used to cry when I heard this song because i wanted to be a 'Cow Girl' so badly...

I love to listen to these boys, a time gone bye but so soft and gentle.

Incredible tallent.

What harmony!

I love how Roy gets back on Trigger to go like three feet!

I still regularly play this on my trucks Bluetooth radio, cranked to maximum volume. Drowns out rap crap from other cars.

Roy`s real name was Leonard Franklin Slye, and he was a founding member of the the Sons of the Pioneers, along with Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer(original name was the Pioneer Trio).He left the group in 1937 but remained friends with the Pioneers till their respective deaths but only rarely appeared with them after 1937.In 1972, Rogers, Nolan & Spencer and most of the other surviving Pioneers gathered for one last performance at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.I wish I had been there!

Takes me back to watching The Rifleman

I love Country from the 80's, 70's, and 60's. Also, some 50's. But, I've never heard waaaaaay back-in-the-day Country, like from the 40's. Wow! I love this one. I want to see this movie. :-)

I have a Sons of the pioneers 33 1/3 LP. I know all the songs on it. I never missed a Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Saturday T V show when I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.

I remember this from when I was young.

Glenn Johnson Grew up listening to all those western singers,so for me travelling to the USA in 2017 to Fort Worth,what an experience.

Trigger was a wonderful horse

The Dude abides!

I grew up listening to them and still appreciate their great renditions of great western songs!

Was a kid in the 70s, when I 1st remember seeing on telly Roy Rogers & his horse trigger,! & back then we had a dog called trigger,,! From northern Ireland UK, I was born 23rd May 1968,🤝

I love the fact Trigger was in the studio for the performance and hope he got extra oats that night for his footwork. great stuff! I wish I had sung this to my wife a couple times prior to the vows just to properly set the correct tone.

Music you would sing after a hard day's work on the ranch. Smooth, relaxing, wistful.

Thanks "The Tone Poets" for this "Hollywood Canteen 1944" 🎼🎼♫💜🎸🎷🎻🎹🎺🌺🎧🖤🎩🎩🎩

I can remember just eating this stuff up! LOL

Just excellent!

Roy and Hopalong that was my childhood👍

A great, great movie with beautiful songs and an outstanding cast

Wow. Watched Roy Rogers when I was a kid. (What a magnificent HORSE!)

My childhood hero

I have loved this song all my life. I still sing it to my grand kids. It puts them to sleep!

Beautiful music for us old GEEZERS

In my very early years Roy Rogers was my hero.. when we play cowboys I always had to b Roy Rogers or I wouldn’t play! 🤣🤣 true( that was about 70 years ago😋😋

Leonard Sly got his start singing with the Sons of the Pioneers.

Greetings out of Africa! Even here Roy R and Trigger were adored (not to forget Gene Autry, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood etc etc). Thanks for sharing.

Such beautiful voices. Very relaxing and smooth. Roy was a hero of mine.

Those were some of the best movies made. The addition of computer graphics and special effects don't seem to have brought quality with them. What the critics of today rave about is trash compared to those old ones.

Magnificent group.

I'm watching music from 80 years ago, and a dancing horse, in black and white, and it is amazing, I love it,

I grew up in eastern wa where when it got real windy , there would go down the street the tumbleweeds in little whirly winds ! ... my dad loved these songs too . great harmonies

That was hilarious in the video when one guy in the audience said he liked this country music and then the other guy said yes it reminds me of Flatbush. I cracked up because Flatbush in New York City! Just goes to show that music makes you sentimental.

Genuine gold right there!

This song was recorded at my friend's ranch in Granada Hills, California
