He was good at singing and playing the mandolin. He joined high school, and the following year the family returned to Cincinnati, and his father joined a shoe factory.

He joined the local Los Angeles radio, and it was called the Sons of Pioneers band. In 1934, the band became very popular outside the scope of Los Angeles through short radio clips.

Within three years, he presented with his band more than ten films as a singer and guitarist and began to work steadily in American Western films. The Republic company attracted him and gave him his new name, Roy Rogers. He occupied the first position at the box office for 16 years. He began his television career in the early fifties, where he presented The Roy Rogers Show in 1951 with his wife Dale Evans, and the program continued until 1957. He presented 102 episodes.
