Bob Nolan (April 13, 1908 - June 16, 1980) was a Canadian-born singer, songwriter, and actor.
Born Clarence Robert Nobles in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, at the age of thirteen he moved to live with his American father in Tucson, Arizona. As Bob Nolan, he began a career as a singer on the Chautauqua tent-show circuit until 1933 when he became a leader of the singing group the Sons of the Pioneers for which he was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1980. He recorded a number of albums and was the singing voice for Ken Maynard in the 1934 film, In Old Santa Fe. Nolan appeared in a number of low-budget Western films, first for Columbia Pictures and later with cowboy stars Gene Autry and Roy Rogers.
Bob Nolan was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1971.
He died in 1980 in Newport Beach, California and at his request, his ashes were scattered across the Nevada desert.
In 1986, for his 1941 song "Cool Water", the Sons of the Pioneers were given a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. He also wrote the famous "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds". In 1995, Nolan was inducted posthumously into the Western Performers Hall of Fame at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
His home of forty years in Studio City, California, a block away from what was once Republic Studios, was later owned by comedian Ellen DeGeneres. It is currently owned by actor Jim Beaver.
Information on his birth and career was researched by Elizabeth Drake McDonald. Her collection, which includes more than 200 of Nolan's songs and other material from his career, can be found in the library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
