Vintage Video From the Visitors' Information Channels "James Rogers"
James Rogers did not plan to spend almost 30 years performing in the Pigeon Forge area.
Like most aspiring musicians, he had dreams of a successful recording and touring career with lots of No. 1 hit singles. He came close, but he lost out an audition with a big agency to some guy from Texas named George Strait.

Strait went on to set a record by recording 59 No. 1 hits and Rogers went on to win a talent contest in Pigeon Forge followed by a career doing two shows a day, six days a week at a variety of venues in the Smoky Mountains for nearly three decades.

"We had 2,000 seats at Music Mansion and most of the time it was full," the 63-year-old Rogers says. "At $20 a ticket. I won a bunch of awards. I made a bunch of money. A bunch of money and I had a job to go to every single day.
• In 1997, his song "I Guard America" was adopted by the Enlisted Mens and Womens Association of the National Guard as their theme song; it was adopted by the National Guard in 1999.

• In 2002, he wrote and recorded "Fly Eagle Fly" for the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Rogers worked with and for country superstar Dolly Parton for 27 years and, after his retirement, she wrote him a letter.

"You have always been there to support my dreams and needs to be the positive and entertaining face of Dollywood," she wrote to him in October. "Your wholesome and fun style is a testament to your personal character in everything you do."

Rogers retired from Dollywood last year, is selling his house in Sevierville, Tenn., and is moving back to this area.
