Biography

Vaughn Monroe (October 7, 1911 – May 21, 1973) was a very popular radio, TV, and recording artist in the 1940s & 1950s. His adopted theme song, “Racing With the Moon”, was heard on his radio and TV shows and was a popular song itself. In 1950, his recording of “(Ghost) Riders in the Sky” (Stan Jones) was a #1 hit for weeks, and it remains the song’s standard version today. It was probably his “signature” song.

Monroe sang with some of the “Big Bands” of the ’40s era, but his music transcended that style to become a popular radio and television personality - like Perry Como, Dean Martin, etc.
