Lorne Greene, Michael Landon, and Dan Blocker sang the words to the theme song in the pilot. It was so dreadful that the producers went with the instrumental version that has become iconic.
The whole cast actually sang in several episodes, even if Pernell Roberts was the only legitimate singer in the cast. They sang "Sweet Betsy From Pike" in "The Quality of Mercy," and "Come All Ye Faithful" in "Gabrielle". In addition, Pernell Roberts sang "Early One Morning" in "The Wooing of Abigail Jones". He and Robert Culp sang the title song in "Broken Ballad". In his last filmed appearance on the show, Mr. Roberts sang "Endless Road" with Hoyt Axton in "Dead and Gone".
The cast released an Bonanza themed album, in addition to albums from Michael Landon and Pernell Roberts. Lorne Greene made several albums and had a #1 hit with "Ringo," which was largely spoken.
