My father was the original recording artist for this song to be released onto the movie. Jim Foglesong who just recently passed away (RIP Jim) was the head honcho at DOT Records where my father was a song writer and recording artist and Jim got my father to record Eldorado for the movie. Just a few weeks before the movie was released one of the producers had a family member (George Alexander) record the song and his voice was used instead. Nelson Riddle and John Gabriel wrote the song.

I'm 71 and I grew up with all these old westerns and yes I still watch them to this day. When I see how the world is in the shape that it is in. I can go get any of my John Wayne movies or Audie Murphy movies or Open Range,,, Broken Trail,,, Lonesome Dove any of them and step back in time and relax and think of the things from before.... Turn the TV back on and all you get is crap It sure makes me wonder about all the men and women that fought in the back past wars including my dad. my uncle and different ones that died in Germany. ones that died on the Arizona at Pearl harbor in Hawaii... sometimes I wonder if they didn't perish in vain and fight for nothing... I would have give my life to have lived back then and I still would....

They didn’t die in vain, their sacrifice provided the peace that we’ve had since then. Even if we throw away our freedom now at least we had peace for a long time. Hopefully America will be free again. There are still a lot of patriots and freedom loving people who love America.

Nothing like a John Wayne soundtrack....they have mesmerized me since a youngster, and I'm now 71...thank you, George Alexander.

I've been watching this since I was a kid. I never get tired of it. It's a masterpiece...it doesn't get much better. My favorite.

My grandfather used to watch me on Saturdays, when I was little. I would sit on the left side of his armchair and we’d watch eldorado every single time. The thing I’ll always remember most, is singing the intro song for him. It was the happiest I’ve ever seen that abrasive old fart. Now, about 20 years later, he has passed. I’ll sing this song one last time at his funeral soon. I hope he’ll hear it, wherever he is, and smile at the memory.

Have been watching westerns all my life and this is, in my opinion, the best theme song of any western movie out there. It epitomizes everything there is about western genre and they couldn't have picked a better artist to sing it. His voice is perfect for the song and what westerns mean to America.

He would, and she said with his pure voice he did not need a microphone. She said soon people from all over would come into hear him. Said his name was really something else, a Russian name. Anyway, I enjoyed her story. Her screen name was something like 'Terky Tulip" or maybe Twerpy Tulip.

The year was 1968 one year after the Summer of Love. The city was Los Angeles, California the venue Hollywood Bowl on Hyland Ave. The event was Battle of the Bands where teens came to perform, the conductor was Nelson Riddle. The song was El Dorodo the group singing was the Choir from Fairfax High school and in that Choir was a girl who was 16 or 17 years old named Adina .The girls wore dresses and white gloves. Today is March 3, 2022 and we have been married 45 + years and every time she hears this song she starts singing with the same voice from that time period. We still have the vinyl album from this event.
