Born and raised in Detroit, Herb Jeffries became America's first black singing cowboy - overturning the prevailing attitudes of his day about race, capturing the hearts of youngsters across the country, and becoming an American legend. In 1936, the handsome, athletic Jeffries trained for his future roles at a ranch, learning to round up, brand and rope cattle. Three movies were completed in as many years: Harlem on the Prairie, Two Gun Man from Harlem, and in 1938, The Bronze Buckaroo, which established Herb as an authentic cowboy hero.
