This man really can sing, and when I was a boy, he was probably the king of the cowboys
As a clue, he was in plenty of cowboy movies in the forties, he was always the good guy, and had his own TV show in America, and he also had a famous horse
Roy Rogers (born Leonard Franklin Slye, November 5, 1911 - July 6, 1998) was an American singer and actor. He was one of the most popular Western stars of his era. Known as the "King of the Cowboys", he appeared in over 100 films and numerous radio and television episodes of The Roy Rogers Show. In many of his films and television episodes, he appeared with his wife, Dale Evans; his golden palomino, Trigger; and his German shepherd, Bullet. His show was broadcast on radio for nine years and then on television from 1951 through 1957
Below is a video of his singing, when he was getting on in years, apparently he was very patriotic
