My dad named me after this song when I was adopted.
Ken Curtis is perfect along with Maureen and the Duke!!

We did truly live through a beautiful era . Young people of today will never understand.

Can you imagine going to the theatre back then with popcorn & a coke & hanging onto every word they said. Then go home & talk about that movie for weeks.

Mareen O Hare, beautiful and a real graceful woman. Very few true Lovely women today. Her and Duke, great combo

[mikeycrist]

The look on Maureen O'Hara's face is priceless....she wants to cry but knows she has to be stoic in front of them.

My Dad use to sing this to me. I'm 76 now and I so wish I could hear him sing it to me again.

1950....what a brilliant movie. Watching it on 2/3/21.

The music industry doesn’t realize the beauty they miss distorting the human voice. If only we were unafraid to be raw and real again.

I watch Gunsmoke all the time and I knew Ken Curtis was a singer, but did not know how good he was. He actually replaced Frank Sinatra with th eTommy Dorsey band. Very nice song. And what makes this video better is the Beautiful Maureen O'Hara.

My dad saw this movie while he was in the Air Force, a few years before I was born. He said the right then and there that he would name his first daughter Kathleen. When I came along, he names me Kathleen!

I miss what's called the greatest generation I don't find people like that anymore anywhere I miss them dearly.

John Ford was required by Republic to make "Rio Grande" (a sure fire money maker) in order to get the funding for the movie he'd been aching to make for years, but for which Republic had no confidence in; "The Quiet Man". Many in "Rio Grande", including the singer on the left, Ken Curtis, also appeared in "The Quiet Man". Ironically, "The Quiet Man", an atypical John Wayne movie, has eclipsed "Rio Grande". It became the top money maker in the history of Republic. This was the first of many pairings between Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne. O'Hara was one of the most beautiful women who ever appeared in movies. She and Wayne were close friends for life, and I think they were each other's best costars. She remained beautiful all her life; in fact I think she was more beautiful in her 30s and 40s than she was in her 20s. She also had a fine singing voice which sadly was rarely used in her movies. She desperately wanted the part of Anna in "The King And I" and even sent a recording of her singing to Richard Rodgers, who agreed she had a great voice, but he didn't want "that pirate queen" to play Anna. Too bad; she'd have been terrific. Instead, they cast a non singer in the role.

Thank goodness we have these classic memories to savour.

Wonderful song from a wonderful movie. I thought that this was one of the best John Ford/John Wayne movies of all time. Maureen O'Hara was so luminously beautiful, and she was a wonderful actress.

[marinamostert]

The song my husband offered to me when me met in 1959 when we used to be studying at US .

[larrynapier]

The instrument of the voice! Perfect Pitch

[aprilmurphy]

Such a romantic voice. I can listen to Ken curtis sing all day. Wonderful talent💐

[davidhunter]

John Ford certainly knew how to make a movie. A lovely song, the Sons of the Pioneers, a tall, clean young Duke and a Renaissance beauty in Maureen O'Hara. If you are Irish, as I am, This will break your heart.

My Mom could never listen to this song. She had a daughter who died in her arms from TB when she was just 7 years old. My sister's name was Cathleen and she died in the 1950's in Dublin before I was born.It still brings me to tears whenever I hear it.
