Never met this man but have read from many sources that he was one of the nicest most generous down to earth genuine people you could ever meet. This man according to people who knew him well did not have one mean bone in his body and what you saw is what you got with Mr. Autry. He loved and served his Country and was a faithful and true Family man right down to his cowboy boots. He is the kind of person I would loved to have met and maybe sit down and just talk about life for a couple of hrs. I believe I would come away a lot richer I don't mean about money but about life would have truly loved to have met him.
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@Matteo Kody Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Gene has more stars on the Hollywood Walk of fame than anybody else. He has 5 stars One each for records, movies, radio, television, and public appearances. He was a generous man, a war hero, and loved by millions.
Great man, but war hero is a stretch. He was a ferrying squadron pilot ferrying B-17s to England for assignment to bomber squadrons. His service was valuable but I think he’d agree that it wasn’t anything to write home about.
I always enjoyed watching Gene Autry's cowboy movies as a youngster. He is a true gentleman and kind to everyone.RIP Gene Autry. I am now 78 yrs. old and remember the good times of this fabulous cowboy. Gratefully, Robert S.J. HuAloha from Hawaii !!!!!!!!!!! May 5, 2020.
Got a brief chance to talk to Mr Autry while his limo was pulling out after a 1986 playoff game at Fenway Park in Boston. Red Sox had just beaten his Angels in game 6, but he couldn't have been more pleasant, stopping the limo to chat with us fans. He lit up when I told everyone it was "The Singing Cowboy". One very nice man.
Smiley Burnett, Gene Autry’s side kick, and member side kick hall of fame. Gene was a C 109 tanker pilot over the Himalayas to supply operations in China. U.S. Army Air Corp.
A friend of my mother claimed to have dated him, and said that he was quiet and even shy. Brought his guitar with him, she thought, so he could hid behind it.
He was so decent he made passes at all his leading ladies, had a ten-year affair with Gail Davis, AKA Annie Oakley, even though he was married thru out all his affairs. He even traveled promoting her show staying in the same room. He never had to worry about getting them pregnant because he was sterile. But he got payback with his 2nd wife, Jackie, ever know why she had never been married at her age when he married her. Take a good look at her, she married him for money.
@@chriskroll4166 110% sure do the research yourself. He knew he could never get a woman pregnant so look up the reason why that was. Too many leading ladies said he did and Gail Davis wrote about it plus all the people that worked in the hotels they booked in the same room when they promoted her show. He was NOT what you saw on the screen.
Gene was my Dad's Uncle. He would even babysit Dad as a young boy. He tried to get Dad into a new series, "The Little Rascals" But my Dad was a very shy boy and didn't accept the part.
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer! It’s a song that holds the same place as the Christmas tree itself. It’s practically impossible to think of one without the other!😊
You're absolutely right.... Good evening Chris how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made.
God bless Gene Autry , my mom loved you . He was a really down to earth man . He wrote a song that will be listen to forever , Rudolph the red nose reindeer . ❤️Tommy John ... now a lot of pitchers have Tommy Johns surgery .
You're absolutely right....Good evening Elizabeth how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made.
He appeared in the Wide Wide World episode because of so many TV westerns being shot at the Melody Ranch location. John Wayne was one of the actors who appeared. The name of the film where he fought Roy Rogers was the Old Corral. Roy did appear in the Big Show which was filmed partially at the Texas Centennial. Roy was then part of the Sons of the Pioneers. John Wayne's singing voice was dubbed by a Bill Bradley, brother to Bob Steele. Bradley was not a member of the Sons of the Pioneers.
Very nice man. Hugely successful career that is, somehow, pretty much forgotten. He learned to ride, I have heard after he started in films. Managed to become competent. But his forte was singing and one of the top all-time recording artists.
Do you hear how the crowd enthusiastically applauds the movie clips? That is because they were allowed to see them. It is a courtesy that we are not afforded here.
The Cowboy Code By Gene Autry 1. The cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man, or take unfair advantage. 2. He must never go back on his word, or a trust confided in him. 3. He must always tell the truth. 4. He must be gentle with children, the elderly, and animals. 5. He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas. 6. He must help people in distress. 7. He must be a good worker. 8. He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action, and personal habits. 9. He must respect women, parents, and his nation's laws. 10. The Cowboy is a patriot. Gene Autry's Cowboy Code was written for all of his young fans that wanted to be just like him. And in my opinion a much better set of guidelines to live by than any religious lists.
Gene will always my King of the Cowboys. He's good looking as he was in 40s.used to sing his song Back on my saddle again , my favourite. Watched all his movies.legend of our time. R I P. Gene.
I've always heard that Gene Autry was a distant relative of mine my great grandmother is Samantha Pearl Autry from Gleason Tennessee (Weakley county) my grandmother Ruby Mae Higgins is her daughter, Gene Autry (Orvon Grover Autry) Grandfather Elijah Autry was from Carrol county Tennessee right next door to Weakley county he moved to Texas sometime in the mid 1800's one of his son's name was Delbert who's son was the singing cowboy 🤠 himself (my middle name is Gene) Gene was born in 1907 my Grandmother Rubye in 1908 I looked it up on family tree, Greetings from Memphis 🎸
I may have missed something, but think he said in this interview Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer sold 12 million copies up to that point. I just asked the Alexa device how many it’s sold and I got 12.5 million copies. It’s interesting to me it’s “only” sold 500K more copies since 1982. 🙂
I edited out the clips because otherwise the entire video would have been blocked by the clips’ copyright owners. Which is what happened when I uploaded an earlier version with the clips included.
About john wayne i dont know who wrote his lines for the movies those words were the toughest words from the Bravest Character in alot of movies words written for a Hero.. & Then in Real Life He Didnt Serve His Country . Wayne was around 34 yrs of age then . .. many actors were there WW2
I am 34 years old and searched this video trying to figure out why my dad gave me the middle name Autry after Gene Autry. I'm now proud ❤

Me too love his music and movies.
Gene Autry was a legend in American entertainment history so nice to see recordings of him before he passed in away in 1998

Gene Autry and Roy Rogers both interviews where Dave showed the utmost respect for the guest must have been childhood heroes of his
I was just thinking that

Even in his later years he still had that wonderful clarity and projection in his voice.
So love Gene Autry & nice work by Dave nothing but respect for the man as it should be & thanks for posting

Be nice if movie stars of today were more like Mr. Gene Autry.
Such a class act all the way. Not one negative word about anyone or anything.

Thanks for the video!

And Roy Rogers stayed home.
@Margaret Gust Keep thinking that if it makes you feel better.
Thank you so much for posting this! ❤️
MY HEROS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN COWBOYS.. I love Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and Rex Allen..
OH, and let us not forget John Wayne..
Hello Linda, how are you doing?
Gene Autry was pure class. Decent. Upstanding.
A friend of my mother claimed to have dated him, and said that he was quiet and even shy. Brought his guitar with him, she thought, so he could hid behind it.

That's not a nice thing to say.
What a legend..!,...first time seeing this interview.
Gene is 75 in this clip. Born 1907.
This guy did so many kind and charitable acts. I think he flew cargo planes on dangerous routes during the war too!! Class act on screen and off!!
Thank you for posting this!
My first childhood Idol 1948 still this day I have all his DELL comic books. A true gentleman
Very pleasant man. Wish the interview had lasted several hours

I am bif fan of Gene autry and George Strait They boyh are my favorites of all time
I'm back in the saddle again. One of Gene Autry's songs. Early 50s.
This is a great man!!
Thanks for this!
Breeden just so you know we’re related.
Rob Word uses the setting of the Gene Autry Museum to promote the "cowboy" era movies. Thanks Gene for keeping history alive.
Do you hear how the crowd enthusiastically applauds the movie clips? That is because they were allowed to see them.
It is a courtesy that we are not afforded here.
You read the description, yes?
Gene autry and George strait were the best and still are today
My favorite movie of Gene's is The Big Show a musical-westren-comedy i had it on my first DVR loved it so funny.

He was a great kind gentleman.....
There is a great biography on Gene Audrey - recommend highly - “Public Cowboy - Live and Times of Gene Autry” - Oxford University.
Too bad we couldn't see Gene's movie clips. They would have been fun. It's possible to find his old movies on TH-cam, though.
I first included them, but the content owner of those clips blocked the upload. That’s why I edited them out.
and it isn't like we are seeing the whole movie, either. Just a clip!
*Always loved Gene Autry !*
“My heros have always been cowboys”
Gene will always my King of the Cowboys. He's good looking as he was in 40s.used to sing his song Back on my saddle again , my favourite. Watched all his movies.legend of our time. R I P. Gene.
A John Ford movie with Gene, Duke and Coop? i have got to find that one1

2:57 Wow road a horse to school knows morse code was a cargo plane pilot in WW 2 acted the first sci fi movie songwriter ...
Top shelf guy right there.

I’m related to Gene Autry in a way, he was my great grandmothers second cousin or so.
I've always heard that Gene Autry was a distant relative of mine my great grandmother is Samantha Pearl Autry from Gleason Tennessee (Weakley county) my grandmother Ruby Mae Higgins is her daughter, Gene Autry (Orvon Grover Autry) Grandfather Elijah Autry was from Carrol county Tennessee right next door to Weakley county he moved to Texas sometime in the mid 1800's one of his son's name was Delbert who's son was the singing cowboy 🤠 himself (my middle name is Gene) Gene was born in 1907 my Grandmother Rubye in 1908 I looked it up on family tree, Greetings from Memphis 🎸
I like that "Back in Seattle Again."
cute - funny! but other than that, I would never live in Seattle... or in WA - 13 years was long enough if not even too long. ha
What a class act!
I may have missed something, but think he said in this interview Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer sold 12 million copies up to that point. I just asked the Alexa device how many it’s sold and I got 12.5 million copies. It’s interesting to me it’s “only” sold 500K more copies since 1982. 🙂
Ritchie Valens was also inspired by listening to him play.
copyright has gotten out of control... greed!
Gene autry was a legend from long ago he was the best of the cowboys a singer to boot my grandma liked gene too Rest In Peace gene
Jeni autry um dos maiores astros do cinema mundial
That was indeed the day Tommy John was traded from the Yankees to the Angels.
there was a Documentary that said Hank Williams was the first American Superstar
you can tell Dave was a fan of both Gene and Roy
The biggest crisis facing Hollywood today is that there are no more singing cowboys. No pie fights either but that's another story.
Too bad they edited out the clips.
I edited out the clips because otherwise the entire video would have been blocked by the clips’ copyright owners.
