[1] It was sung by Roy Rogers with the band Sons of the Pioneers,[2] that Bob Nolan was a founding member of.
[4] The first big hit to be recorded at KWKH was by a yodeling tenor balladeer, Slim Whitman, who joined the Hayride in May 1950.
But from this session the opening song, a Bob Nolan composition, gave him his first Top Ten record in the Billboard country chart (May 1952).
"Love Song of the Waterfall" was released as a single (Imperial 8134, with "My Love Is Growing Stale" on the opposite side) in January 1952[5] and by the end of April showed up just under the top ten of the Billboard Country & Western Records Most Played by Folk Disk Jockeys chart.
[1] After Slim Whitman, another rendition of the song was released by Jimmy Wakely with the Les Baxter Orchestra (Capitol 2028, c/w "Goodbye, Little Girl").
