Gene Autry started out singing country blues, and he never stopped being a musician and singer as his career stretched on to include radio, movies, and television, and he was a star every stop along the way. But he was also an astute business man, and his financial dealings ended up making him one of the wealthiest people in America. Still, the backbone of his success was music, and this concise playlist contains some of his biggest and most enduring hits, including “Back in the Saddle Again,” “That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine,” “South of the Border (Down Mexico Way),” and “Don’t Fence Me In,” among others. ~ Steve Leggett
