Thread Name: Could Roy Rogers play the guitar?
Subject: RE: Could Roy Rogers play the guitar?
Dahlhart's big hit was actually "The Prisoner Song", which he recorded as the "B" side to his cover of "Old 97'", but which ended up being the biggest selling record before 1955 that wasn't "White Christmas". Henry Whittier actually had the first hit of "Old 97", which, though less popular at the time, is much more remembered. Funny how that goes.
