That's because he wasn't a full-time singer...he was mainly an actor in movies and mostly TV. He played in an epic 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents, called "Decoy" and two other Hitchcock Presents that were pretty good also. He was famously on the popular 1960's TV Show "Wagon Train" as well.
I'm addition to singing and acting, he was an artist - painter. I would have enjoyed meeting him and learn about his creativity and its beginning and source.
Rodgers and Hart's best composition, the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (1935) has now been introduced to several thousand new listeners. Now go listen to Vic Damone, who is being forgotten.
I loved the late Robert Hogan’s acting especially in Wagon Train; l knew he did a lot of stage work in musicals which he loved. They don’t make them like Robert anymore. RIP.
They seem to have had a policy in the 1960's...whenever a young male actor became a popular heart-throb idol - George Chakaris, Vince Edwards, Richard Chamberlain, etc, etc, and Robert Horton here, they always seemed to make him into a 'singer' and often, provide him a recording contract to see if he could sell record albums too.
The same policy often applied to young actresses of the time as well such as Shelley Fabares, Patty Duke, the ladies of Petticoat Junction, Ann-Margret, Peggy Lipton, etc. There was a tendency to push young actors into singing careers, sometimes willingly and sometimes not.
@lifesabeach9451 glad you had that experience. Truly great memory. I met Ray Nitchke Green Bay packers superstar through a friend when I was 15. Had dinner at his house, went into Green Bay with him and people running up for his autograph. Great memory. Great individual.
On Memorial Day Weekend 5/24 watched Robert Horton of Wagon Train( which is my fav. 4 many years) and didnt know what a powerful voice he had. Style like Frank Sinatra. Very good looking too!
Anyone who thinks that men who sing and perform in musical theater are effeminate should take a good, long look at Horton -- not to mention Harve Presnell, Howard Keel, and Brian Stokes Mitchell. There is nothing MORE manly than expressing genuine human sentiment (which is NOT sentimentality) in a powerful and memorable way. (Harve Presnell singing "They Call The Wind Maria" in the film "Paint Your Wagon" may be my favorite example). And I speak as one who loves, and performs in, theater, but whose singing voice could have been the occasion for a joke I heard on TV: "Every time you start to sing, somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, a moose is slapping on Aramis."
From what can be seen in this performance, as a crooner he wasn't up to the task of greats like Mathis, Darin, Bennett or Sinatra, but with that voice I think he still had a lot of room for improvement...
I think he was underrated, and also very handsome.
As a rugged man on Wagon Train, Flint is a fine cut of a man🥰
He was GORGEOUS!
Robert Horton was an actor who starred in many movies and TV shows, most notably "Wagon Train", a Western TV show from the late '50's and early '60's.
Thanks. 🙂
@@lonestarfriend You're welcome!
@TomElvisSmith, Is that so?
He had an awesome singing voice.
He was absolutely gorgeous
Sing it Flint McCullough!
New fan of Wagon Train. Great series
Pleasant voice, but I never heard of Robert Horton before today.

Versatile Stage and Television Entertainer, a Cowboy, a GREAT ARTIST!!!❤😂

I knew he was a great actor in Wagon Train etc but I didn't know he could sing well too!
I love him in Wagon Train

Oops meant to say Horton excuse me.

Very true …. and it didn’t work out well.

Not bad, and I loved him on Shenandoah - as well as Wagon Train!
I will have to check out shenanigan
@@janetnewbill291 A Man Called Shenandoah - not "shenanigan". 🤠
Are you thinking of Doug McClure?
@@mariaduncan7160 Doug McClure was on "The Virginian". Robert Horton was on "Wagon Train" and later "A Man Called Shenandoah".
The difference in music yesterday is like night and day
The music of old was benevolent (good) while music today is definitely malevolent (evil). Make no mistake about it; Jesus IS coming.
When music was really great with this fabulous singer.
I never knew he can sing
I ❤ you 💖💘💖
He did a great job on Wagon train. Took charge, thought wisely and smart. Seemed to be a very cool dude. Somebody I would enjoy talking with.
I had coffee with him once. It's one of my very best memories!

Excellent!
Flint sings

Bought a gorgeous 1957 Chrysler convertible brand new and kept it until he was 80

He literally looks like Ken (Barbie's Ken) 🙂

Me neither 👍
Flint can sing??!
so bad..but a handsome face and minimal talent has always been enough
Great actor, so popular. Could also sing better than people like Tony Bennett . Very famous in 50’s & 60’s
I wish he would have stayed on Wagon Train. Heck with this crap.
the terrible side of entertainment when I was young
boooooo!!! boooooooo!!
Amazing talent
