Roy Rogers, born Leonard Franklin Slye (November 5, 1911 – July 6, 1998), was an American singer and cowboy actor, as well as the namesake of the Roy Rogers Restaurants chain.

The show ran on radio for nine years before moving to television from 1951 through 1957.

Dale's nickname was "Queen of the West."
