Gene Autry gained fame as The Singing Cowboy on the radio, in movies and on television. He signed a recording deal with Columbia in 1931 and worked in Chicago on the WLS radio show National Barn Dance for four years with his own show.

In his early recording career Autry covered various genres, including a labour song, The Death of Mother Jones but his first hit was in 1932 with That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine, a duet with fellow railroad man, Jimmy Long. Autry also sang the classic hit I'm Back in the Saddle Again.

He was the first of the singing cowboys, succeeded as the top star by Roy Rogers when Autry served as a flier during World War II. From 1940 to 1956, Autry had a huge hit with a weekly radio show on CBS, Gene Autry's Melody Ranch, and his horse also had a radio-TV series The Adventures of Champion.
