Interesting Letter and Signed Music, "The Bible Tells Me So."

New York: Paramount-Roy Rogers Music Co. . 1955. Signed letter and music score by Dale Evans, the wife of Roy Rogers, the famous Cowboy Western star, a great Country Western singer, and a religious performer, who has signed original sheet music for her immortal and beloved hit "The Bible Tells Me So" along with a letter dated 1956 sending the score to a collector, Lionel Aucoin who assembled the most comprehensive collection of signed musical autographs in American history. We have not seen another example of this famous song signed by Evans.

After meeting Roy Rogers on the set of "The Cowboy And The Senorita," the young singer/actress went on to become the leading lady to Rogers’ ‘King Of The Cowboys’ and eventually, even had her own horse, Buttermilk, to match his famous mount Trigger. In 1947, the couple was married and "from that point Evans’ film and music career ran in parallel with that of her husband. During the 50s, most of the couple’s time was devoted to Rogers’ highly popular television show. Evans wrote the couple’s famous theme song, ‘Happy Trails’, and was also instrumental in introducing Rogers to God." (Oxford Encyclopedia of Popular Music) (3763)
