à Cincinnati (Ohio). Il devient cueilleur de fruits en Californie avant
de faire partie de différents groupes dont les "International Cowboys"
qui plus tard deviendront "The Sons Of The Pioneers". Il incarne à
l'écran le "Cowboy chantant" à partir de 1938. Sur son cheval
Trigger, il chante les grands espaces, travesti en cowboy d'opérette et il sera
la vedette d'une centaine de films. surnommé "The King Of The Singin'
Cowboys", sa popularité égalera celle de son grand rival, Gene
Autry. Il a enregistré pour RCA et Capitol et a été marié à
Dale Evans. Roy Rogers est décédé le
6
juillet 1998 à Victorville (Californie).
When
Cincinnati-born Leonard Franklin Slye headed west in the spring of 1931, it was
as a would-be musician, working jobs ranging from driving a gravel truck to
picking fruit in California's Central Valley. In less than two years, he'd co-founded
the greatest Western singing group of all time,
the Sons of the Pioneers, and barely four
years after that, he'd started a career as a movie star under the new name Roy
Rogers. Ultimately he found great fame as a movie and TV cowboy and even founded
a very successful chain of restaurants.
He was born in Cincinnati, OH, the son of Andrew and Mattie Womack Slye. The
entire household was musical, and by the time he was a teenager, Len could play
the guitar and the mandolin. Although he later took on the role of a cowboy
before the public, the closest he got to riding the range was working the family
farm they had in a small town outside of Cincinnati. By age 19, he'd headed out
to California, where chance led him to enter an amateur singing contest on the
radio, resulting in an offer to join the Rocky Mountaineers. There he made the
acquaintance of Bob Nolan. They developed a harmonious friendship that worked
well within the group for several months, until Nolan exited in frustration over
their lack of success. His replacement was Tim Spencer, and eventually Slye,
Spencer, and another singer named Slumber Nichols quit the Rocky Mountaineers in
the spring of 1932 to form a trio of their own, which never quite came off. Slye
decided to push on, joining Jack LeFevre & His Texas Outlaws.
In early 1933, he got Spencer and Nolan together to form what was then known as
the Pioneer Trio. Their mix of singing and yodeling, coupled with their good
spirits, won them a job on radio. Within a few weeks, they were developing a
large following of their own on LeFevre's show, with their harmony singing
eliciting lots of mail. A fourth member, fiddle player Hugh Farr, was added to
firm up their sound early in 1934. The group's name was altered by accident — on
one broadcast the station's announcer introduced them as "The Sons of the
Pioneers." The group sold large numbers of records from the very beginning, with
the classic Nolan original "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" cut at their very first
session. Two more new members, Lloyd Perryman and Hugh Farr's guitarist brother
Karl, were added, and by the mid-'30s the sextet was one of the top-selling
country acts, performing to sell-out audiences and sought by radio stations and
sponsors eager to back them on the air.
During this period, Slye did occasional work as a movie extra and bit player in
B-Westerns under the name Dick Weston at Republic Pictures, where the reigning
king of Western movies was another singer,
Gene Autry, whose records outsold even
the Pioneers'. In 1938, Autry entered
into a contractual dispute with Republic that resulted in his failure to report
for his next movie. Republic, anticipating the dispute, had put out the word —
apparently more as a ploy than a real attempt at replacing their top male star —
that they were looking for a new leading actor for their Westerns. Slye tried
sneaking onto the lot with a group of extras and was caught, but a sympathetic
director permitted him to take a screen test. He tested extremely well and got
the part. At the time, the Pioneers had
just signed a contract with Columbia Pictures to appear in and play musical
support to Charles Starrett in a series of B-Westerns, and he was forced to
leave the group in order to sign his own contract at Republic.
A new name was required and "Roy Rogers" was selected, the "Rogers" coming from
Will Rogers and "Roy" coming off of a list. He made his debut in Under
Western Stars; not only did it introduce Rogers as a new star, but also his
horse, Trigger. A long-term contract followed, and for the next 13 years, he was
one of the studio's mainstays, rivaling and later surpassing
Autry at the box office. By 1940, Rogers
was successful enough to approach Republic with a request for a salary increase.
The studio was notoriously reticent on such matters, and he was denied any raise.
But in lieu of the request, he extracted a much more valuable concession — the
rights to the name Roy Rogers and all merchandising that went with it. The early
'40s saw Rogers turn into a national institution. His Westerns became even more
popular and accessible once they were taken out of the "historic" West of the
19th century and moved into the modern West, which allowed for more freedom in
plotting and dialogue. With director Joseph Kane helming his movies, Rogers
became the undisputed "King of the Cowboys" after
Autry joined the U.S. Army Air Force in
1942. By 1944, however, the movies and records represented only a small part of
the success that Rogers had achieved. The merchandising of Rogers memorabilia
and other items — not just toys, but cereals and electric ranges — coupled with
a syndicated radio show made him one of the most familiar figures in popular
culture throughout the war years.
In 1944, with his first teaming with featured actress
Dale Evans, the next major
element in his screen success was in place. Their relationship was, at first,
purely professional, but their chemistry on screen was undeniable, and Republic
was soon pairing them up regularly. With the return of master action director
William Witney from service in the war during 1945, Rogers' film career was
poised for success for years to come, as Witney toughened up the Rogers movies
and elevated their action sequences. All of this success, and the whirlwind of
activity surrounding it, was negated by the death of Rogers' wife, Arline, from
an embolism following the birth of their son, Roy Jr., on November 3, 1946.
Rogers continued making movies and recording, along with his personal
appearances and radio broadcast. In the course of their work together in
pictures, he and Evans (who had already been designated "The Queen of the West"
by Republic's publicity office) became ever closer. Finally, on December 31,
1947, the two were married. They made movies together for the remainder of the
1940s, and when the market for B-Westerns began to disappear with the advent of
television, Rogers followed the lead of Western star William ("Hopalong Cassidy")
Boyd and devised a television series of his own. The Roy Rogers Show,
starring Rogers and Evans and co-starring Roy's
Pioneers replacement, Pat Brady, went on
the air on NBC in December of 1951, beginning a seven-year network run that
introduced his work to yet another generation of fans.
His first solo recordings featured backup by Hugh and Karl Farr and Bob Nolan,
and the complete Pioneers supported him
in most of his recording sessions for the remainder of 1937 and 1938. Later on,
however, Rogers was backed by Spade Cooley &
His Buckle-Busters as well as various anonymous studio orchestras, although
Karl Farr would turn up on his sessions as well into the 1940s. On record as a
solo artist, Rogers was never as successful as
the Pioneers or
Autry, although he did have one promising
early hit in 1938 with "Hi-Yo Silver," which reached number 13 on the charts.
Even Rogers' sessions on his own recordings with
the Sons of the Pioneers, however, little
resembled his earlier work as a member of the
Pioneers, for his was now the lead voice. And where Bob Nolan and Tim
Spencer (the principal songwriters within the group) never strayed too far from
some contact with the reality of the West, Rogers' music quickly took on the
aura of more typical Hollywood Western songs, pleasant but not generally
profound. His covers of songs such as "Don't Fence Me In" are probably the best
remembered versions, thanks to his movies, and as songs like "San Fernando
Valley" or "Home in Oklahoma" reveal, he had an extremely appealing tenor voice,
not as memorable as Autry's voice but very
pleasing to the ear nonetheless. Perhaps the most well-known of all Rogers'
songs was one written by Evans and (originally) recorded by them together,
"Happy Trails," which became the theme of The Roy Rogers Show. From the
1950s onward, his repertory included country music as well as Western songs and
spirituals, the latter often recorded with Evans.
Rogers continued to record into the 1970s, and he scored a hit in 1972 with
"Candy Kisses." He and Dale continued making personal appearances, often in the
context of religious broadcasts and gatherings, as well as television broadcasts,
into the early '90s. Rogers' main influence was in keeping the image of the
singing cowboy alive. Along with Autry,
who retired from personal appearances at the end of the 1950s, he was one of the
most popular Western stars ever to record and was an influence on an entire
generation of country & western singers that followed. In 1988, Rogers was
elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, giving him a second spot (the first
having come as a member of the Sons of the
Pioneers, who had been elected some years earlier). Two years later, the
next generation of country musicians, including
Emmylou Harris and
Randy Travis, participated in a most
unusual record, The Roy Rogers Tribute, covering Rogers' best known songs
with him, including an all-star rendition of "Happy Trails." Two years later,
Rogers, his wife, and eldest son recorded a new album of spiritual songs. Rogers
died at his home in Victorville, CA, on July 6, 1998.
