Together with Roy Rogers, he formed, Pioneer Trio, which later became the world renowned group, Sons of the Pioneers. When Rogers left the group in 1938, Nolan took over as the group&#8217;s leader. The group had its own national radio show, \u201cLucky U Ranch\u201d and also made appearances on CBC television. By the time Nolan left the group in 1950, it had established itself as a group with a unique sound, characterized by unique harmonies and lazy, charming, memorable songs as well as with recognition on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>Nolan recorded his first solo album in 1953 and is said to have written more than 1,200 songs. Nolan&#8217;s classic songs such as, \u2018Tumbling Tumbleweeds\u2019, \u2018Cool Water\u2019 and \u2018Love Song of the Waterfall\u2019 have become Canadian country classics, songs that have stood the test of time and were recorded by countless country and western and pop\/country artists through the years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Bob Nolan passed away on June 16, 1980 at the age of 72.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"split-repeater__blocks grid grid-cols-1\">\n                                    <div class=\"grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2\" style=\"background-color: #0a0a0a; color: #fff; \">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/soundcheck.ccma.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/22_Bob_Nolan.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white portrait of a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair, slight smile, and wearing a collared shirt, looking slightly to the side.\" class=\" \">\n                        <div class=\"content-box \">\n                            <p>In 1971, Nolan was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and into the Western Music Hall of Fame in 1993.
