ROLL ALONG PRAIRIE MOON - Roy Rogers
(3/27/45) The Roy Rogers Show

One of Roy's most exciting films was 'King Of The Cowboys', released in April 1943.

The fast-paced storyline involved foreign saboteurs, giving the film something of the feel of the cliff-hanging serials popular at the time. In the midst of all the action, Roy still had time to sing the fine song "Roll Along Prairie Moon," written in 1935 by bandleader Ted Fio Rito (who had written "Toot Toot Tootsie" for Al Jolson), Harry MacPherson, and Albert Von Tilzer (whose credits include "Take Me Out To The Ballgame").
