Let me ponder the question of a new mystery person ... for a bit.
BTW ... It is so right that I got this one correct as my schooldays nickname was "Chips".

Where I was living (in the 60's), we did not get TV until about 1971
Perhaps a few more clues, Brian

Never let it be said that I was slow in coming forward, for a freebie
I was a bit late to pick the cowboy (Alan Ladd), and the singer (Everly Brothers)
Here is a cowboy and a singer combined

Hey Pilgrams is that a young John Wayne
Tony Bev said
07:32 PM Nov 23, 2019
Sorry not John Wayne, Brian
This man really can sing, and when I was a boy, he was probably the king of the cowboys
As a clue, he was in plenty of cowboy movies in the forties, he was always the good guy, and had his own TV show in America, and he also had a famous horse

With that build-up, it had to be Roy Rogers.

Roy Rogers (born Leonard Franklin Slye, November 5, 1911 - July 6, 1998) was an American singer and actor. He was one of the most popular Western stars of his era. Known as the "King of the Cowboys", he appeared in over 100 films and numerous radio and television episodes of The Roy Rogers Show. In many of his films and television episodes, he appeared with his wife, Dale Evans; his golden palomino, Trigger; and his German shepherd, Bullet. His show was broadcast on radio for nine years and then on television from 1951 through 1957
Below is a video of his singing, when he was getting on in years, apparently he was very patriotic

If I listen to the ABC in the morning will I hear his name ?
Sheba said

Possibly, if you listen to Macca.
BW said
01:15 PM Nov 24, 2019
