Talk:Johnny Western

Please improve me
This article needs some work and some cleanup. Please forgive me, but I've been working on it for hours on my Johnny Western sandbox and am getting worn out. It's a lot of work creating an article! I plan to return here later, but feel free to make edits and improvements in the meantime! Wakedream (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Bonanza theme lyrics
An anonymous editor added information saying Johnny Western wrote the lyrics to the theme from Bonanza. I've watched the show many times, and never heard any lyrics. However, I did recently see a reference that Bonanza star Lorne Green had released a version of the theme that did have lyrics. Does anyone have a source saying these were written by Johnny Western?

 * Reply: Only Johnny himself. I worked with him for 14 years at KFDI. You must have missed the early episode where Ben and his 3 sons are shown singing the theme song. Signed, anonymous editor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.190.238.4 (talk) 21:25, 1 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Reply: Actually, Johnny Western co-wrote a version of the theme song with Johnny Cash which appeared on Cash's Ring of Fire album. Lorne Greene recorded and released a different version after that on record but I believe the actual lyrical version used for the show was that by Western and Cash.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.215.119.188 (talk) 14:35, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Needs a Personal Life section
This article would be improved with a Personal Life section, that had details on Mr. Western's life after his Early Life — Lentower (talk) 12:46, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
