Orvon Gene Autry was born on September 29, 1907, in Tioga, Texas. He bought his first guitar, at age 12, for eight dollars, then taught himself how to play it. As a young man in his twenties, Autry got a job working in the telegraph office in Oklahoma. One night, while he was playing and singing in his office, Autry was overheard by then famous cowboy singer and actor Will Rogers, who encouraged the youngster to get into show business. Several years later, in 1931, Autry recorded “That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine,” a song that became the first record ever certified gold for having sold more than a million copies.
