Gene Autry is known for his cowboy and country music as well as for his acting roles on television and radio. He was born to Delbert and Elnora Ozmont Autry in Tioga, Texas on September 29, 1907. Working for a telegraph company when he was 20, he strummed his guitar to break up the monotony. Famous actor Will Rogers walked in while he was playing and encouraged Autry to consider a future with radio. In October, 1929, he cut his first record, "My Dreaming of You/My Alabama Home". Raising his brother and sisters after his parents died, Gene Autry didn't get his break until 1931 when he released, "That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine". After selling 500,000 copies in a year, American Records presented Autry with a gold-plated copy of the record. Sales grew with radio exposure from his role as Oklahoma's Yodeling Cowboy at the National Barn Dance Show on WLS in Chicago. Autry broke into films, and was rated one of the top ten box office attractions from 1937 until 1942, when he enlisted in the Army. Upon returning from the war, he resumed his career, singing songs such as "Ghost Riders in the Sky" and "Back in the Saddle Again", but his biggest single hit came in 1949 when he recorded "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". Owning many radio and television stations, Autry managed his business interested when his record sales fell. Gene Autry died October 2, 1998, at the age of 91.
