Description
Designed to be followed immediately by the playing of Vaughn Monroe’s hit recording of “Riders In The Sky” ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAPCxfuBzyo ), this informative piece was one of several special spoken (or part-spoken/part-music) discs distributed to radio stations by RCA Victor in 1949-50 for promotion of new and current recordings by members of their talent roster. Monroe released at least two more such narratives, one for the song “Someday” (“Vaughn Monroe’s Own Story, Set To Music” https://youtu.be/B1zGIHqgzCU ) and for “Bamboo” (“My Seven Favorite Songs” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MHmdrdgKe4 ).
