    (Ghost) Riders in the Sky

    54 years ago today... a rock instrumental classic by the Ramrods made its way onto the top 40 charts. If you like twangy guitar and overdubbed sound effects, you'll love it.

    It's not. The original came out in 1948.

    You're right MarkO, my dad had the older version and I had to listen to it many times. Was it Vaughn Munroe doing the '48 version?

    If you come to a fork in the road; take it, and then put it down so someone else can use it.

    IIRC, the B-side was Cool Water.

    From a little research. .
    Stan Jones was first but in 1949 alone it was also recorded by...
    Burl Ives
    Vaughn Monroe
    Bing Crosby
    Peggy Lee
    Spike Jones
    Gene Autry

    Comes from a time when multiple artists would release the same song. Seems odd now.

    OK that makes more sense. I was wondering who wrote the lyrics if the original was an instrumental.
