Today in History: ‘Canada's Cowboy Troubador' born just outside Regina in 1921
The man who came to be known as 'Canada's Cowboy Troubador' was born on Canada Day, 104 years ago, just outside Regina, Saskatchewan. Canadian country singer Stu Davis, whose real name is David Stewart, was born on July 1 in Boggy Creek, Sask. He and his brother Fred teamed up in 1939 to perform as 'The Harmony Boys' on Regina radio station CKCK. In the 1940s, he took the stage name Stu Davis. After serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force, he moved to Calgary in 1945, where he performed at the Calgary Stampede, at the Buckhorn Guest Ranch, and on CFCN radio. He soon became known as 'Canada's Cowboy Troubador.' By the late 1940s, he made appearances on NBC radio's 'National Barn Dance' from Chicago and the Grand Ole Opry out of Nashville. Davis signed with London Records in 1956, making 15 LPs for the label. In 1968, Davis, already a veteran of several TV shows, narrated the 13-part CBC television documentary history of Western Canada, 'Trail-Riding Troubador.' Eddy Arnold took Stu Davis' song 'What A Fool I Was' to No. 2 on the Billboard country chart in 1948. In the 1970s, Davis made the transition from music to ranching and real estate. He died on March 25, 2007. -With Canadian Press files
