Roy Rogers Has Company

Saw the news that Antonio Aguilar had passed away in Mexico. I remember my Grandmother watching movies with Antonio, singer, actor and legend, the ultimate singing cowboy in Mexico has passed.

Augutin Gurza of the LA Times wrote of an interesting anecdote about Aguilar in his obituary:

USC journalism professor Félix Gutiérrez recalled a chance airport encounter with Aguilar in the early 1970s. Gutierrez was a graduate student at Stanford University when he spotted Aguilar arriving with his wife on a commuter plane in San Jose, totally unnoticed by the general public and carrying their own bags. The only ones who recognized the famous couple were custodians and other Latino laborers who were as thrilled to spot their beloved stars as others might be to see Bob Hope.
