Encyclopedic overview
Orvon Grover "Gene" Autry (September 29, 1907 – October 2, 1998), nicknamed the Singing Cowboy, was an American actor, musician, singer, composer, rodeo performer, and baseball team owner. He largely gained fame by singing in a crooning style on radio, in films, and on television for more than three decades, beginning in the early 1930s. During that time, he personified the straight-shooting hero—honest, brave, and true.
Autry was the owner of a television station in Southern California, as well as the state's several radio stations. From 1961 to 1997, he was the founding owner of the California Angels franchise of Major League Baseball (MLB).
