Giddy Up, Partner! Rare Snapshots of Roy Rogers’ Cowboy Chronicles!
First Big Break
By 1931, the Slye family had moved to Inglewood, California, where Roy would find his first taste of the spotlight. His big break came on a radio show called “Midnight Frolic,” where his singing and yodeling caught the attention of a local music group, “The Rocky Mountaineers.”
Touring across several states, they played in bars and on radio shows, eventually rebranding themselves as “The O-Bar-O Cowboys.” Though their success was modest, these early gigs were crucial. They planted the seeds for Roy’s career as an entertainer, setting the stage for his future stardom.
