Shug Fisher was born as George Clinton Fisher in Spring Creek, Oklahoma in 1907. Many people do no know that Fisher, a character actor whose face is familiar enough, worked for years as a member of the famous "Sons of the Pioneers" singing group. With the start of World War II in 1941, many Hollywood stars volunteered to serve their country in the armed forces. Both Gene Autry and Jimmy Stewart joined and became pilots. And others, like Lloyd Perryman and Pat Brady of the Sons of the Pioneers, were drafted into service. When that happened, those two members were replaced by two Oklahomans: Ken Carson (born in Oklahoma on Nov. 14, 1914) and and Shug Fisher .By 1944 the Sons of the Pioneers --now made up of Ken Carson, Shug Fisher, Tim Spencer and the Farr brothers-- changed recording companies, leaving Decca for RCA-Victor. This company produced the group with many more instruments and orchestration. They branched off into not only cowboy songs but more pop material. And besides doing their own records, they backed people like Dale Evans and their founder, Roy Rogers, who were also with RCA-Victor. In 1946, following the end of World War II, Pat Brady and Lloyd Perryman rejoined the Sons of the Pioneers. Ken Carson continued to perform with the group until December of 1947. In 1953, with record sales slumping, the Sons of the Pioneers left RCA-Victor and signed with Coral Records. Soon thereafter, both Ken Curtis and Shug Fisher left to do more movie and TV work. So the group replaced them with Dale Warren (born in Summerville, KY., on June 1, 1925) and Deuce Spriggens. The contract with Coral was not a productive association. In 1955 they returned to RCA-Victor. And Ken Curtis and Bob Nolan joined the Sons for some studio work, while the actual touring group was made up of Hugh and Karl Farr, Dale Warren, Deuce Spriggens, Tommy Doss and Lloyd Perryman. But Spriggens soon left the group, to be replaced by former member Shug Fisher. And Bob Nolan, one of the originals, also called it quits. In 1959 Shug Fisher left the Sons of the Pioneers for the last time. Shug Fisher may be best known for his appearances on the TV comedies "Petticoat Junction" and "The Beverly Hillbillies" (appeared as Shorty Kellers during the 1969-71 seasons). However, his roles in Western TV programs also included "Bonanza," "Gunsmoke," "Temple Houston," "The Virginian," "Daniel Boone," "The Legend of Jesse James," "Laredo," "The Wild, Wild West," "Cimarron Strip," and "How the West Was Won". Fisher appeared in these Western movies: "The Last Roundup" (1947), "Riders of the Pony Express" (1948), "Rio Grande" (1950), "Sergeant Rutledge" (1960), "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962), "Cheyenne Autumn" (1964), "The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin" (1967), "Cutter's Trail" (1969, TV), "Guns of a Stranger" (1973), "The Sacketts" (1979, TV) and "The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again" (1979). Shug Fisher died on March 16, 1984.
