Timeline
Leroy Frank Van Dyke (born October 4, 1929) is an American country music and honky-tonk singer and guitarist, best known for his hits "The Auctioneer" (1956) and "Walk on By" (1961).
Van Dyke was born in Mora, Missouri.
He lived in Spencer, Wisconsin, and graduated from the University of Missouri majoring in agricultural journalism.
He was a cast member in the late 1950s on Ozark Jubilee, and was co-host, with Bill Mack, of the Southern Baptist Radio/TV Commission-produced Country Crossroads radio show for 10 years, and was joined by a third co-host Jerry Clower.
It became the most widely syndicated radio show in country music history.
Van Dyke continues a performance schedule, traveling from his office/home complex on his 1,000-acre (4 km²) ranch in west-central Missouri near Sedalia, Missouri.
He is a member of the National Auctioneers Association Hall of Fame, is active in many music industry organizations, and as a sideline, raises premium quality Arabian mules.
All aspects of Leroy Van Dyke Enterprises are managed by his wife Gladys, a former legal secretary and court reporter.
Their son Ben plays lead guitar in all Van Dyke performances.
Van Dyke is also a Korean War veteran.
He was catapulted into country music fame in 1956 with his composition "The Auctioneer", co-written with Buddy Black, which sold over 2.5 million records.
He wrote the song about the life of his cousin, National Auctioneers Association Hall of Famer Ray Sims, also a Missourian.
His record of "Walk on By" (1961) was named by Billboard magazine in 1994 as the biggest country single of all time, based on sales, plays, and weeks in the charts.
It stayed at number one in the U.S. country chart for 19 weeks, and in all, charted for 42 weeks, reaching number five on the pop listings.
It sold more than 1.5 million copies.

In the UK Singles Chart Van Dyke had two hits: "Walk on By" reached number five in February 1962, and "Big Man in a Big House" made number 34 in May that year.
Van Dyke had the lead role of a budding country music performer in the 1967 movie What Am I Bid? in which Sims played himself as an auctioneer.
