The Official Website of Gene Autry, America's Favorite Singing Cowboy

Fun Autry Fact:

Gene was the only officer in World War II allowed to wear cowboy boots with his uniform.

Radio

"Hard-riding, sweet-singing, cowboy picture star Gene Autry" was heard each Sunday evening on radios across America via CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. Gene's Melody Ranch radio show aired for an unprecedented 16 years (between 1940 and 1956), featuring songs, comedy and action filled drama. Throughout the run, the show's sponsor was cool, refreshing Doublemint Gum.

This page will soon feature information on Gene's radio career with KVOO in Tulsa, Oklahoma, WLS Barn Dance in Chicago, and CBS radio including his Melody Ranch and Sgt. Gene Autry programs.
