Equal parts master showman, rugged horseman and stalwart western hero, Roy Rogers was one of the most beloved icons of Hollywood's golden age. Astride his celebrated Palomino "Trigger" (known as "the smartest horse in the movies"), America's favorite singing cowboy delighted millions of fans for the better part of three decades. The Best Of Roy Rogers brings together 20 of the star's finest efforts from his silver screen heyday of the 1930s and 1940s. Launching his career by playing storied heroes like Billy the Kid, the one-of-a-kind entertainer soon became a legend in his own right. By the early 1940s, whether he was portraying a deputy sheriff, a U.S. Marshall or a state ranger, the lyrical lawman always played a character named "Roy Rogers". In 1944, the sagebrush star's saga took a wonderfully romantic turn when the "King of the Cowboys" met his match (both on screen and off) in "Queen of the West" Dale Evans. You can thrill to their first meeting in The Cowboy and the Senorita. After that, it was mostly "Happy Trails" (their signature song, written by Evans herself), as the couple were rarely ever separated again. So saddle up for adventure in the key of the wide open range!
