This is a list in ascending order of some of my favorite John Wayne western movie theme songs and tunes which I hope is going to stir a debate or two amongst JW fans out there. There’s one feature that I nearly always mention in passing when writing a review of a John Wayne movie, namely the music. There have been some great soundtracks written ove...
Not so much a song, more a taster for what was to come when JW recorded America – Why I Love Her a few years later. I’m fairly sure it didn’t actually feature in the main film, but came as a bonus on the Elmer Bernstein sound track album. I’m aware that Bernstein wrote the melody behind the song, but not too sure who actually wrote the lyrics. I ac...
North to Alaska – Opening Credits Title Song / Johnny HortonThere are a lot of films that sometimes don’t deserve the music written for them, and this is a case in point. I found it hard to like the movie but Johnny Horton’s rendition of the jaunty main theme tune, written by Mike Philips – the soundtrack was composed by Lionel Newman and Harry Suk...
The beginning to this film resembles very closely the credits for El Dorado, both movies using a montage of paintings to accompany their main themes William Conrad, the somewhat portly actor who rose to eventual fame as TV detective Cannon, here recites his lyrics whilst a gathering of anonymous studio singers provide the singing duties. Andrew J. ...
I think I’ve already mentioned somewhere else that this song was voted one of the best cowboy movie themes by the Western Writers of America Association. I also said it was a pretty cheesy song, which it is, but on reflection that doesn’t make it a bad song. Just cheesy. George Alexander sings it so seriously – lyrics by John Gabriel and music by N...
You think initially that the music to the opening credits is going to be orchestral only, then in comes the rousingly sung lyrics to the song She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, which turns into a medley with the addition of the equally exhilarating The Gal I Left Behind. The soundtrack credits go to Richard Hagemen who pulled together a number of traditiona...
Not strictly a JW theme tune, as the main title music is an orchestral combination of De Guella and Green Leaves of Summer. The Brothers Four had quite a considerable hit with the latter which, with lyrics by Paul Webster and music of course by Dimitri Tiomkin, was released in 1961 and nominated for an Academy Award. I think this might be the most ...
Another song I categorized as cheesy, but a good one just the same. The much missed Mr. Campbell, who also appears in the film, sings lyrics by Don Black, and the music is by Elmer Bernstein, here supplying a memorable musical score. If memory serves me correctly it was quite a big hit back in the late 1960s in both America and the UK and it’s cert...
The opening music starts initially with a snatch of Max Steiner’s score for the film then segues into the song Ride Away, written by Stan Jones. Jones also wrote Ghost Riders in the Sky and the theme to the TV series Cheyenne, among many others. There’s actually four verses in the song but we only get to hear the first, after which the film begins ...
I am aware that the song Rio Bravo was recorded by Dean Martin only, and the tune you hear at the beginning of the film is an instrumental, but I’m talking about My Rifle, Pony and Me, which is actually my number one favorite piece of music from any John Wayne film – ever. The sequence in which Dean and Ricky serenade Duke and Walter Brennan in the...
As the camera jumps to different parts of paintings by Western scene artist Russ Vickers, the theme song, sung by a male chorus with spoken word by William Conrad, plays over the soundtrack. "Chisum, John Chisum," they sing while Conrad intones, "Weary, saddle-worn. Can you still keep goin' on?"
