Quotable Quotes:

"My dad was a fiddle player. He used to play for all the dances and stuff, and I learned to play guitar when there was nobody to accompany him. And then I sang in all the church choirs and glee clubs in the school. Basically, all I ever wanted to do was try to be a singer and make a living at that. And then, went into radio and the recording field, and had a few hit records. Roy Rogers was getting ready to leave Republic Pictures and get into television, and they were looking around for another poobah in a white hat, so I got my foot in the door there." (IMDB)

"Rex Allen lived a remarkable and impactful life, leaving a lasting legacy through his contributions to music, film, and the cowboy way of life. Though his passing was a great loss, his spirit and influences continue to live on. (V)"
