      On Amazon, I got softcover book about Stan Jones, the Singing Ranger, and a CD with 30 different Singers singing Ghost Riders in the Sky. 2 Women Singers on it too. 4 years ago..Plus on here UTUBE, There are 2 Videos about the The Cowboy Legend "Ghost Riders In The Sky". It started in Texas in 1889, very awful Tragic Story, but through Time and Legends The 1948 Song, came about written by Stan Jones, in 1948..Music and Lyrics. Greatest Sing ever Written, recordered over 100 times, at least, and lots of great instrumetal versons!! And recently new recordings by young artists. Plus a Parody Project with Johnny Cash somehow, called Ghost Donald in the Sky. It's good and Funny, so True too. It's here on UTUBE too. 🎶🎵🎶🤗🥰💕❤💕🐴🐎😅

    'If you wanna save your soul From hell a-riding on our range
    Then, cowboy, change your ways today
    Or with us you will ride
    Trying to catch the devil's herd
    Across these endless skies
    this gives me chills because i know need yo change before i doom myself

    Tom London (the old man) said that he would show this scene to prospective directors when he would apply for the job...of course, he would show his scenes with Gene...not the song. Everytime I see a stormy sky, I begin singing this song.

    A curious moment of perspective occurred to me today: Without *Gene Autry* and *Roy Rogers,* *Woody* from *Toy Story* probably wouldn't exist. What a sadder world that would be for many.

    I believe this song has been covered by more bands than any other in history.
    Autry's has the distinction of being haunting. :)

    My grandpa introduced me to this song. The original, not some crap remake. Now I'm showing it to my son, named after my grandpa. Sadly he passed 6 years before my son was born, but we keep his memory alive, that's certain. I miss him so much. Nobody will ever come close to filling the void he left. Best man I ever knew and grateful for every second I got with him

    @ShellyAnn1a 2 года назад +11

    Other than Stan Jones, the two best singers are Gene Autry and Marty Robbins, both are clear and deliver it more as a story than as a song. Growing up, I loved watching Gene Autry or listening to him on our old 1946 Zenith radio. That was back in the 1950s. I recently found his complete series of shows on DVD, now this 70 y/o lady can watch him again.

    @CaptainAhorn Год назад +6

    I’ve heard almost all the innumerable variations of this song and this one is unique in the last verse, where the chorus takes over and sings “if you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range!” I don’t believe that any other rendition does this, quite interesting and dramatic. The harmony they use is also very interesting. Also note that there are 18 riders: 6+6+6. Probably intentional.

    Tuve la oportunidad de ver la película y me repetí algunas veces hasta terminar de aprender la canción que fué en mi niñez, mi juventud y hasta ahora una de mis canciones favoritas. Me gusta también la versión de Johnny Cash y la versión instrumental de Ramrods, que gracias a esta tecnología las puedo apreciar mejor.

Leaving it in makes sense. Ghost Riders, Chasing "The Ghost Herd in the Sky" So far 6 or 7 Artists have left that lyric in their recordings. Nice🎶🎵🎶🤗🥰💕❤💕😊
