On this day in 1962 {July 7th} "The Ballad of Paladin" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart ; eventually it peaked at #33 and spent 9 weeks on the Top 100... It made the Top 10 chart in the United Kingdom, peaking right at #10... Was the theme song for the CBS-TV western series, "Have Gun, Will Travel" {the show ran from 1957 to 1963 with a total of 225 episodes} R.I.P. Richard Boone, who played Paladin, {1917 - 1981} and Mr. Eddy celebrated his 75th birthday four months ago on April 26th...
From season three in 1959-60. A CBS Television Network Production, and in my S3 DVD set, about half the episodes have opening/closing credits taken from 16mm prints and credit for Filmaster Productions, Inc., even though it was erroneous. CBS actually terminated its contract with Filmaster after the 1958-59 season for both Gunsmoke and HGWT.
