It's as if I can still hear Rex Allen as plain as day narrating all those Disney films. He had the perfect and unreplaceable voice unlike no other. While I remember him with Slim Pickens in those cowboy movies, it's his golden voice that I will always remember most. Really sad how he was run-over but sadder still is the trauma his friend and caretaker must have suffered. Thank you again Jerry, no one presents these bios of heroes quite like you.
Rex Allen had one of the most compelling voices in Western movies. No one ever came near his cover of "The Last Round-Up". You have to hear it to realize the scope and power of his vocal talent. He also set attendance records touring as the headliner for the rodeo circuit. It was a lasting pleasure to meet him in person at his starring appearance at the Heart O' Texas Fair and Rodeo, some 55 years ago.
In 1995, after attending the annual quarter horse 🐎 races, in Sonoita, AZ, Rex Allen, Robert Mitchum, who had driven down from his ranch in northern California and Gene Autry, ate a steak dinner at the Sonoita Steak Out. I was devasted to have missed this fantastic duo...having to supervise the rodeo grounds....I really missed seeing my 3 heros. I also heard Mitchum was very disappointed thatchis horses didnt win. I remember thinking "This is the last of the REAL cowboys." That same year, I took my mother to see Roy Rogers and Dale Evans along with the Sons of the Pioneers , preform for the last time in Tucson Az for her birthday. She and Dale were the same age, both born in 1912. Thank you from Cochise County AZ! 💗
I was born in Willcox. Lived there until the second grade. I have fond memories of the October Rex Allen Days parades. Rex Allen would drive down the Main Street in his fancy convertible that had door handles that looked like six shooters and there were even real silver dollars inlaid on floorboards. He was very nice. Rest In Peace Arizona cowboy, you left a wonderful legacy.
Another treasure from days gone by. I loved it. I love the way you softly speak and the music accompaniment you always so tastefully include. You, are a creative talent in your own right, Mr. Jerry and I hope you continue to produce these touching memoirs of the golden age of TV and movies. What great memories they do bring back. Loved that horse, too. I know you must have help in the productions of these fine narrations and it is to them, I say, thank you so much for helping Jerry out. What a team!
I will always remember and can still hear Rex's warm and comforting voice narrating all of those Walt Disney animal movies. I always think back on those with great fondness.
I remember Rex Allen’s voice narrating for Disney. I knew he had been a cowboy star, but not much else. This video was very interesting, thank you for another fine biographical video.
Yes, I grew up watching Disney on Sunday nights one of the few pleasures I was allowed as a kid. I liked seeing Rex at the beginning of the films. He wasn't wrong, he WAS handsome and a beauty of a voice. I wish Disney would get a clue and replay those old pictures in our present times. Would be soothing overall. Mr Skinner I don't know where you have been but very grateful you and your work are now so prevalent on RUclips. Have been enjoying the heck out of getting life stories of interesting people that I grew up watching. Speaking of Slim Pickens how about doing him? The fellow who played Pete on "Fury" also Chuck Connors pretty please. Thanks so much for well done entertainment.
I met Rex back in the early '60s in Chicago, he was on Koko getting ready for a performance at the NRF, so we had a nice conversation for about 5 min. real nice, pleasant person. He was performing with The Frontiersmen, I got all the autographs, still have them. Since I idolized all the cowboy stars back then this was very special to me. He was so nice.
Thank you so, so much Jerry. I was raised in Tucson, Az and love to discover great pioneers like Rex Allen. I will find my way to Wilcox and the Rex Allen museum ASAP. This vid made my day, :)
Born and raised in Rapid City 1941 me and my brother never missed the country western movie rather it be Roy Rogers Gene Autry Tex Ritter Lash LaRue or Cisco Kid RexAllen we watch them all
Another excellent job of story telling Jerry and I enjoyed it very much as I lived in Benson Az. for a couple of years and new of Rex and his Dad who lived in Benson and attended Rex Allen Days in 1971. Thanks for all your work on these great stories of famous people we loved.
I loved Rex Allen's voice. I also remember him being the Grand Marshall of the Days of 47 Parade in Salt Lake City... I thought he was the best looking cowboy I had ever seen. BTW, Rex junior has a great voice as well. Rex Jr put out a great western album with his dad and Roy Rogers... love it.
His voice was one that once heard, you could not forget ! 😊 There was one TV in my neighborhood in the 60s and all of us kids were sure to be in front of it on Sunday night to watch Disney shows and listen to Mr. Rex Allen ! 😊 👍 Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Watching this reminds of when I was a young boy in South Africa. My grandmother managed the Oxord Cinema in Durban, so I could get in free. It was a tiny cinema, where you could take in food from the 'tea-room' attached to it and eat on long shelves at the back of each aisle of seats. I don't remember now how many cowboy B-movies I watched - they were played on a continuous loop - but I've no doubt Rex Allen appeared in some of them. This was the hey-day of the Western. People had very simple tastes then.
I love all of Jerry Skinner’s documentaries. He does a great job. We got to visit the Rex Allen Museum in Willcox. The Friends of Marty Robbins Museum is right next-door and it is worth a visit. We paid our respects to Koko the Wonder Horse. What a coincidence because I’m actually wearing a Rex Allen T-shirt that I purchased while we were at the museum and here I came across this documentary. Thank you Jerry!
Another amazing video Jerry! Side note- according to a Rex Allen Museum employee in Wilcox. If you look out the front door (across the way past the statue and large grass field,) you’ll see Colonel Henry Hooker’s house in Indian Red which housed Wyatt Earp and his kill posse on the run from the Clanton’s Cowboys gang. I ventured to the house, but didn’t see any sign or marker indicating its history. Too bad, as I think it should be on something like the National Register of Historic Places, the ranch itself is however- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Bonita_Ranch
RIP - Rex was a family friend and employee as a talented singer at our Sleepy Hollow Ranch in Pennsburg/Quakertown ,pa. Sure a Hero of mine in my early years. kenny Newman respex,kenxqed
I was brought here after playing " Knock knock rattle" one of my favourite songs 101 years after his birth and more than 3000 miles away. Thats a real testiment to his fame. RIP Rex, thanks for the music you left us.
I met Rex Allen in the late '50 s at the Amphitheater in Chicago he was sitting on Koko waiting to go into the arena to perform, not knowing exactly when they were going to announce him he just sat and talked to me, 50 yrs later I still remember how nice he was to me. Can't say the same about Autry, that's another story. I also met his back up band the Frontiersmen at this time and I remember one of them saying how "real" Allen was. Thanks for the memories!
Just a suggestion; there’s another great voice we all can remember and that’s Paul Harvey. While serving in the Army; we actually stopped everything to listen to Paul Harvey News and Comment on AMERICAN FORCES RADIO. Both Men; Rex Allen and Paul Harvey represented Pure Americanism and Truth in my books. Thanks Jerry; another great job and presentation.
I used to play those Paul Harvey shows on my radio show. They were distributed by Armed Forces Radio, but played on commercial stations as well as military. They were sent out on large discs that were played on the turntables at the radio stations.
Everyone listened to Harvey, a funny story was my aunt bought her first color tv set and it didn't work correctly and the store just brushed her off on her complaint so she wrote Paul Harvey telling him about it and the reason she had bought it was because he advertised this brand, the next thing you know a new tv was delivered and the problem disappeared.
As a Speech student for Waco (TX) High School, I was among those on a big regional speech tournament, in Muskogee, OK. I won 1st Place in Boys Radio by reading the Harry Houdini script from Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story" series. Both Houdini and Harvey were great heroes of mine, and this 1st Place was truly theirs.
"Frontier Doctor" - I had forgotten that but should not have since we watched it every week. We had our first television in time to see it. Loved the show!!!
I got to talk on the phone with Rex Allen when he appeared at the Spokane Washington rodeo. I had the flu and couldn’t go to it. So i called the fair grounds. He just happened to be walking by. The man i spoke with gave him/the phone. Rex/was so sweet that he said he would dedicate his 1st song to me. Did you know that he had over 400 pair of custom cowboy boots?
I've lived in Willcox all my life and never heard this much information as I have now. We of course learned about him in school and I've met Rex Allen Jr a few times, but he isn't as nice as he seems. Great video, I enjoyed watching it.
I've been to Wilcox several times and always visit the museum. I have a picture standing beside Rex's Statue. The buggy from Frontier Doctor and numerous artifacts are in the museum. But I never knew the whole story until this video. What a treasure I found here.
Hey jerry, i moved from Mississippi just recently and man i wish i had a chance to meet you . Your narration and way you describe these episodes are beautiful. I just want to thank you for doing such a great job. I love your work and have learnt alot from you. Thank you sir i hope your doing great sir. I grew up in tishoming/iuka/corinth my whole life and you have taught me alot. God bless you sir.
Great story! And to think I had no idea who Rex Allen was until this story. I was born in 1955. I knew Roy Rodgers and Slim Pickens were. But not Rex Allen. Again. Good Job and God Bless you, Jerry! Thanks for the memories.
Good presentation. I live at Rex's hometown of Willcox, Arizona. I had the pleasure of meeting him several times. He certainly had a distinctive speaking and singing voice. It's been said that had he come along ten years earlier he could have given Roy and Gene a real run for their money.
Jerry Skinner your biographies just get better and better. I really enjoy you talks. Thank you for doing what you do! Rex sure could "HOOK" the Ladies but, he sure couldn't "We'd for long". His last wife ran over him.
Mr. Skinner, your videos are the absolute best. I've learned so much about the people I grew up watching on tv. Thanks for all of your amazing knowledge and for sharing it with us. I love the way you tell the stories of these incredible people.
Great video!! I saw most of his movies in West Frankfort, IL during the fifties. My dad loved the all the "Cowboys". Had no idea how his life was. Excellent narration by Mr. Skinner.
I met Jeanine Allen One of Rex's ex wives, while performing at the Tahiti Neui in Hanalei, Kauai. We became good friends, and she loved to tell stories about Rex Allen, and his friends! It was fascinating, and I got to hear many Hollywood stories about how they all interacted. John Wayne, Slim Pickens, and others waking Rex Allen up early in the morning to watch a football game, while all sitting in underwear and munching on Kentucky fried Chicken, and beer! What a life!
Thank you so much Jerry. Really enjoyable video as always, full of information and tastefully presented. Take care Jerry, big hugs to your and your family.
I remember going to the neighborhood movie house with my sister to see Rex Allen early 50's I suppose. Thought he was cool the way he had his guns in the holsters backwards. That's the way I wore my Hopalong Cassity cap pistols. I thought his speaking voice was so smooth and peaceful as I listened to him narrate the Disney films. I don't remember if we had any of his singing recordings but I would think we did. Another good job Jerry.

Do you remember The legend of Pecos Bill? In one of his narrations legend had it that Bill dug The Rio Grande River.
I'm from Douglas Az near Wilcox and legend has it Johnny Depp has a ranch around those parts and John Travolta has a house in old bisbee az ..I think I saw Johnny Depo once more time after filming the movie there at a video rental store in the early 90s called Angie's videos.
Rex Allen also did Purina Dog Chow and Heston farm equipment voice over commercials. I remember Lobo and many others for Disney very well. I wish you could have included one of his clips; just to hear his voice again.
It's as if I can still hear Rex Allen as plain as day narrating all those Disney films. He had the perfect and unreplaceable voice unlike no other. While I remember him with Slim Pickens in those cowboy movies, it's his golden voice that I will always remember most. Really sad how he was run-over but sadder still is the trauma his friend and caretaker must have suffered. Thank you again Jerry, no one presents these bios of heroes quite like you.
A wonderful man, singer, and actor. We miss him so much. RIP Rex, and Koko.

I was named after this great man. He performed at the San Antonio Stock Show for many years.
That's sad

Your documentaries and voice delivery are always a pleasure to watch and to learn. Thank you for your work.
Your voice takes me back to a simpler...better time. I'm 45 and miss my grandparents deeply. I love what you do and u do it well!! Thank you.
Ditto. Jerry takes us back home and a sweeter time for most.
I remember every Rex Allen in late 40s and early 50s cowboy movies. He was great along with many other Cowboys of that time. God bless em'.
Great video. I love learning about all these 'heros' from my childhood and no one tells it better than Jerry Skinner!
I met Rex back in the early '60s in Chicago, he was on Koko getting ready for a performance at the NRF, so we had a nice conversation for about 5 min. real nice, pleasant person.

Willcox has Rex Allen days on the first weekend October each year.
Born and raised in Rapid City 1941 me and my brother never missed the country western movie rather it be Roy Rogers Gene Autry Tex Ritter Lash LaRue or Cisco Kid
RexAllen we watch them all
@ for sure there were more we paid .14cents apiece to get in to the movie
one of the most distinctive voices of any era...you'd hear it on Disney and knew you were in for a good time.
Another excellent job of story telling Jerry and I enjoyed it very much as I lived in Benson Az. for a couple of years and new of Rex and his Dad who lived in Benson and attended Rex Allen Days in 1971. Thanks for all your work on these great stories of famous people we loved.
Thank you for this tribute. I remember Rex Allen very well. I loved his movies and his work with Mr Disney. We no longer have cowboy heroes like him.
Yes there are plenty right here in west Texas on all the ranches.
Hellywierd doesn't want wholesome Godly real men anymore.
BURIED BESIDE HIS HORSE- BY GOD THERE'S A REAL COWBOY !
with his boots on
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Listening to you comforts me.
God bless you, Mr. Skinner
Love the narrators voice - he does a great job in retelling stories of the recent past- reminds me of the old ranger from Death Valley days ❤️
lazan arndt yes, I do (was a little girl ) and now see him on reruns on the grit channel - tv isn’t what it used to be , sigh I guess nothing is 🤗
I just love Rex Allen!! Incredible voice! He seemed like such a nice, down-to-earth guy!
Very well done. A hero of mine, my folks took me to see him as parade marshall of the Calgary Stampede, early '60's. Thanks for the memories!
I loved Rex Allen's voice. I also remember him being the Grand Marshall of the Days of 47 Parade in Salt Lake City... I thought he was the best looking cowboy I had ever seen. BTW, Rex junior has a great voice as well. Rex Jr put out a great western album with his dad and Roy Rogers... love it.

Who else is here because documentaries by Jerry Skinner are simply the best?
Bravo Jerry. Thanks for a great video about one of Arizona's native sons.
Jerry, you're really good at this. Rex is one of my all time heroes. Thank you.
Never saw a movie of his but loved his voice as a narrator. He was the best.
I remember the day they brought him in to TMC ER. I was working as an ER tech at the time
Another great one. Thanks Jerry.
One of my favorites back in the day!
Wonderful Job Mr. Jerry Keep Up The Good Work Have A Blessed Night

When I was a kid, I saw Rex Allen in person two or three times at rodeos in Missouri.
Thank you Jerry for that fine video about Rex Allen😊 GOD Bless you.
Another Jerry Skinner classic
Wow! I remember him from the movies. Back when there were double features! Thanks for always telling their stories!
Jerry skinner is one of the best story tellers ever. His videos always are captivating.
What a really nice story . Very touching . Thank You , Jerry Skinner . GOD Bless . Patrice .
Thank you Patrice. Jerry
Beautifully narrated
Another great film Jerry.

Great video Mr.Jerry. I could listen to your work all day. Love it.
Great story! And to think I had no idea who Rex Allen was until this story. I was born in 1955. I knew Roy Rodgers and Slim Pickens were. But not Rex Allen. Again. Good Job and God Bless you, Jerry! Thanks for the memories.
Thanks for the upload!
Very nice, thank you.
I am Rex Allen's first grandson. Son of his first daughter Rexine Faye Allen. Great to see this documentary that chronicles my ancestors.
Thank you Martin, you have a good family my friend. Jerry
Jerry your well researched, wonderfully narrated videos are the best thing of RUclips-a joy. Always learn something new!
Good morning Jerry. Another masterpiece.
Growing up, he was my idol. Loved his eyes. Thank you 😊
Another great biography, Mr. Skinner. Many thanks.
Good presentation. I live at Rex's hometown of Willcox, Arizona. I had the pleasure of meeting him several times. He certainly had a distinctive speaking and singing voice. It's been said that had he come along ten years earlier he could have given Roy and Gene a real run for their money.
Thank you for the upload Jerry.
Watching from NSW Australia,
Thank you for another fine mini-biography.
Jerry Skinner your biographies just get better and better. I really enjoy you talks. Thank you for doing what you do!
Rex sure could "HOOK" the Ladies but, he sure couldn't "We'd for long". His last wife ran over him.
It wasn't his wife. It was his caretaker/secretary who accidentally ran over him after he collapsed in the driveway from a massive coronary.
Mr. Skinner, your videos are the absolute best. I've learned so much about the people I grew up watching on tv. Thanks for all of your amazing knowledge and for sharing it with us. I love the way you tell the stories of these incredible people.
Great video!! I saw most of his movies in West Frankfort, IL during the fifties. My dad loved the all the "Cowboys". Had no idea how his life was. Excellent narration by Mr. Skinner.
Amazing narration. Absolutely fantastic.
Keep them coming Jerry,never heard of this chap but loved the bio. Thanks
I met Jeanine Allen One of Rex's ex wives, while performing at the Tahiti Neui in Hanalei, Kauai. We became good friends, and she loved to tell stories about Rex Allen, and his friends! It was fascinating, and I got to hear many Hollywood stories about how they all interacted. John Wayne, Slim Pickens, and others waking Rex Allen up early in the morning to watch a football game, while all sitting in underwear and munching on Kentucky fried Chicken, and beer! What a life!
Another first class piece of work Jerry, keep them coming.
I love your biographies
Well Mr. Skinner, another spot on ON THE SPOT!
Thank you so much Jerry. Really enjoyable video as always, full of information and tastefully presented. Take care Jerry, big hugs to your and your family.
Thank you jerry skinner i always enjoy learning from you🙏🏽😊❤️
Great video Jerry!!! Thank you
I met Mr. Allen who was the Grand Marshal of a Dodge City Days parade in Dodge Ciity, Ks. He had a fabulous voice.
Excellent, as always!
wonderful video jerry, thank you again they just keep getting better.
Once again an absolutely excellent presentation. Thank so much for your wonderful work !!
I remember going to the neighborhood movie house with my sister to see Rex Allen early 50's I suppose. Thought he was cool the way he had his guns in the holsters backwards. That's the way I wore my Hopalong Cassity cap pistols. I thought his speaking voice was so smooth and peaceful as I listened to him narrate the Disney films.

Do you remember The legend of Pecos Bill? In one of his narrations legend had it that Bill dug The Rio Grande River.
Thank you for another quality upload Jerry Skinner.
Watching, Enjoying & Learning from NSW Australia.
Thank you Howdy. Jerry
Another quality production!!
I'm from Douglas Az near Wilcox and legend has it Johnny Depp has a ranch around those parts and John Travolta has a house in old bisbee az ..I think I saw Johnny Depo once more time after filming the movie there at a video rental store in the early 90s called Angie's videos.
One of my favorites.
Rex Allen also did Purina Dog Chow and Heston farm equipment voice over commercials.
I remember Lobo and many others for Disney very well. I wish you could have included one of his clips; just to hear his voice again.
DALE thebelldiver I love rexaallen
Also"charlie the lonesome cougar".Rex was one of many cowboy heroes.🐴🐴🐂🐂👍👍👍
DALE thebelldiver Did He narrate the Original Walt Disney , The Incredible Journey, or the Yellowstone bear family?
