American Country singer and cowboy actor in westerns.
Member of The Sons Of The Pioneers

Mr. Carson joined the singing group in 1942 after Roy Rogers, a founding member, left to act in films. Mr. Carson sang on the group's two best-known recordings, Tumbling Tumbleweeds and Cool Water. His tenor was the echoing voice singing cool, clear water on the latter.

He appeared in 22 of Mr. Rogers's movies as a member of the group that backed up the actor when he sang.
