The golden voice of Eddie Dean was silenced on March 4, 1999, at the age of 91. His lovely wife of 67 years, Dearest, carries on.
A seventh son of a seventh son of a seventh son from Posey, Texas, Dean starred in Westerns (and even did most of his own stunts!) in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s.
On television, Dean starred in a short-lived series, called The Marshal of Gunfight Pass, in which he portrayed Marshal Eddie Dean. Later, he was a police officer in two episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies. Dean sang professionally for over 80 years. Many of Dean's fans contend that his voice sounded better in his aging years than when in his prime. Dean had his own show in the early days of radio, and later co-wrote hit songs, such as, "I Dreamed of Hillbilly Heaven," and with Dearest, "One Has My Name and the Other Has My Heart." His latest release was "Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch," in 1997.
Dean was founder of the Academy of Country Music. He won many awards, and ranked in the top ten most popular cowboy stars before retiring from films to travel the world and give live performances. Dean was a avid golfer and a quality person. His talent, warmth and charm will be deeply missed.

When I was a youngster, Eddie Dean "The Singing Cowboy" was my favorite on the old black & white T.V. In October of 1977 while I was a hunting guide on Santa Cruz Island (CA.), I had the pleasure of being guide to Eddie Dean and his son Eddie Jr. They flew over to the island for a three day hunt and we had us a time! Each night after dinner I'd talk Eddie into singing with his guitar for us. What a nice man and a damn good shot for being in his seventies. At the end of the hunt, I drove 'em up to the dirt airstrip.

While waiting for the plane to land. Eddie asked me if I would be his guest at the Lamplighter in Hollywood where he was singing. Being the character I am, I told him I wern't rightly sure.....he asked how come? I told him I reckon I could make it, if he would sing my favorite western song..."Strawberry Roan" Eddie said he hadn't sung it in years and didn't know if he could remember all the words. About that time the plane landed and was pulling up to us. After shaking hands, Eddie picked up his guitar out of the jeep and started walking toward the plane. He got 'bout halfway there, stopped, turned around and started playing his guitar and singing.... "I was just hanging 'round town not earning a dime, when a feller steps up and say's I suppose, yer a cowboy, by the looks of yer clothes." I told Eddie I'd be there!

Eddie embarressed the hell out of me at his show. After singing his first song, he stopped and told the audience about what a great wild boar and sheep hunt he'd just had on Santa Cruz Island. He then went on to tell 'em about how his guide wouldn't show up if he didn't sing "Strawberry Roan" for him. Eddie sang an honest five minute version of Strawberry Roan! It had more verses in it than Marty Robbins ever heard of! It was the old original "Cowboy" version Eddie had picked up from different cowboys over the years...and he rolled 'em all into one! It was great, what a night we had!

I still have the autographed 33 LP that Eddie gave me that night and it says, "To Dave on the 'Big Hunt' please don't make me open sooo many gates, next time!" Eddie Dean The Album has all his songs and is covered with his early movie photos. I really treasure it!

EDDIE DEAN And His Horse FLASH crash to new adventure heights!

EDDIE BATTLES RUSTLERS AND RENEGADES...With A Girl In His Heart...A Gun In His Hands!

Eddie Dean and His Horse Flash in Your All-Time Good-Time Melody Round-Up!

Eddie and his sidekicks have been called in to help get a new telegraph line through. Dawson and his men along with his stooge Judge are out to stop them. When Eddie and the boys catch three of Dawson's men destroying telegraph equipment, the Judge releases them and this leads to the showdown between the two sides.



PIU', trame di qualche film:

Riding into town rancher Hank Lawrence and his foreman Bert Ford are fired at from a distance by outlaws "Knuckles," "Bugsy" and Two-Horn." Outriding the gunmen, the two men suspect that they were rustlers. Meanwhile, Eddie Dean, "Soapy" Jones, Waco and four singing cowhands deliver a herd of cattle to the Lawrence ranch and meet Hank's sister Terry who tells them that her brother and the foreman are in town. They meet at a restaurant in town and a striking resemblance between Waco and Bert Ford is noted. Hank tells Eddie about his problem with rustlers and the attempt to ambush them. Eddie agrees to help his old friend and the first step in his plan is for Waco---more than handy with his guns--- to assume the identity of the foreman.

The happy Indians live in Antelope Valley and Eddie is the new Indian Agent. Everything seems fine until the town selectmen want the valley occupied by the Indians because it contains silver. So they hire outlaw Indians and Chico to start trouble hoping that the army will forcibly remove them from the valley and they will claim it. But Father Sullivan and Eddie believe the Indians are being wronged even though they cannot convince anyone else.

Dean takes over as Sheriff of Red Gap and makes everyone check their guns at his office. But he is in trouble as Taggert's men continue their lawlessness and the crooked judge Hammond lets them go when they are caught.

Cioè, era troppo XDDD

eddie dean, idiocy, wtf
