A NEAR MINT COPY OF THIS COWBOY CLASSIC FROM THE GREAT GENE AUTRY
SILVER Spurs / GOOD OLD FASHIONED HOEDOWN
Born in Tioga, Texas, in 1907 and raised in Oklahoma, Autry began his performing career modestly as a member of the travelling Fields Brothers Marvelous Medicine Show. Before long though, he was cutting Jimmie Rodgers covers in New York and well on his way to becoming one of the most famous singers in America during the Depression and through the Forties. Among his many recordings were the self-penned "Back in the Saddle Again" and "Here Comes Santa Claus," as well as enormously popular renditions of "Don't Fence Me In," "Deep In the Heart of Texas" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," which has sold ten million copies to date. His film career proved just as successful; Autry and his horse, Champion, were bona fide Stars of the ten cent double-feature matinee in the late Thirties and early Forties. He staked his claim on the small screen as well with the introduction of television into American homes, starring in his own series from 1950 to 1956.
Autry, whose illustrated likeness graced the cover of Rolling Stone on October 23, 1973, retired from performing in 1956, but continued to amass a fortune from his four radio stations and numerous other properties and business ventures, including the Gene Autry Hotel in Palm Springs and the California Angels baseball team, which he had owned since the team's creation in 1961 (Part owner the Walt Disney Co. is set to acquire Autry's share of the team, as per an agreement penned in 1995). That same year, Forbes reported Autry's net worth at $320 million.
