50s Country And Western song performing live at "Town Hall Party" March 28, 1959, and Theme of the second season of the cult series "Wagon Train" song written by Sammy Fain & Jack Brooks & sung by Johnny O'Neill.
The studio version of "Wagon Train" by Johnny O'Neill was released in 1958 on RCA Victor 47-7379.
Towards the middle of the second season, it was replaced by an instrumental version by Stanley Wilson.
It is a western Theme of, inspired by John Ford's film "Wagon Master" released in 1950.
Columbia Records released a Town Hall Party LP album in 1958, featuring many of the regular cast members of the series.
That same year, however, brought changes to the program.
NBC radio had discontinued carrying the Saturday night shows, and rising union scale rates made it impossible for Wagnon to keep the huge cast of recording artists on the Compton stage week after week.
The band was made smaller and many regular cast members departed in 1958.
Billy Mize and Cliff Crofford, talented vocalists/instrumentalists/composers, joined the much smaller cast as band members and soloists.
