As a child I had several childhood heroes tied to music, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and others. In this thread I am asking who were childhood heroes and what music is related directly or indirectly to them, i.e. songs sung by them or about them. Perhaps limit your choices to five or fewer if possible. Roy Rogers was one of my boyhood heroes and here is a song by Eric Bogle in tribute to him. BTW, heroines are acceptable as well!
Eric Bogle-"Front Row Cowboy".
