[jbeng1953]

all roy needed was strings! good enough 4 me!

[russellhughes84]

[russellhughes84]

THAT'S TRUE IS MR.ROY CLARK STILL ALIVE?

[xterra43]

Love Roy Clark, awesome talent...

[transfusion666]

This made me smile. I watched this as a kid with my parent's. Good times.

[thekrakkin]

omg..seeing his smiling face reminds me of nights dinner and watching yeehaw ..or whatever show it was haha.. lol great memories with my family =)

[donottawaguitar]

roy was my first guitar hero from hehaw when he did those slow love songs on sunday night after walt disiney wow loved it

[sportstuber11]

Can't stop listening to the vocals lol

[sportstuber11]

What an unbelievable talent

[jgibson61591]

@KelleyGaither2000 lol @ you being wrong.

[vcp430]

Roy used to play fiddle, but (many of you probably know this) he had to quit because of neck problems.

[pixiechick1208]

the dislike button should be renamed jealousy button for this video

[ArizonaKnightWolf]

Wait, wait, wait jut a minute here! How can Roy be aplayin' all four instruments at one time? I am not dunk that much am I?

[reno145]

Is Roy Clark the Chuck Norris of Music, or is Chuck Norris the Roy Clark of martial arts?

[UnseenEntityMetal]

@reno145 ....i think you are on to something with that line of reasoning...well met and thumbed up

[milanparagon]

I saw Roy at South Point in Vegas, as a musician I gotta say he's a great entertainer and still kicks ass!



[SilentNinjaZXZ]

before my time but i agree he's great :3

[dgsvalrico723]

He makes playing anything with strings look so easy.

[Master100Mind]

@dgsvalrico723 I want to like this more than once.

[deerstocker1]

roy clark the best guitar player ever

[mbouchard52]

I remember watching Roy Clark when he was a guest star on Beverly Hillbillies.

[rotory2002]

It go's to show you that if it had strings on it, ROY could play it !!!!

[MrGoRaVeNs]

i love you roy clark!

[mdwoods100]

What a talent. Roy is fantastic.

[pyrofella]

This guy could get a tune out of a string bag!

[NeosCross]

Dang, he's good. I'm a native of good ol' Tennessee, as a matter of fact. <3

[niterider460]

yeah he's good alright

[SpaztasticTalents]

Oh good Ol' Rockytop.... <3

[djrom66]

I saw Roy twice in concert....he's the best.

[charsy1985]

OH MY GOD YOU HAD THOSE TAPES TOO!!!!! i miss them so much! i wish they would put them on DVD! County music was my favorite one <3

[Appalachianbluegras2]

Very full of God's talented

[phylwho]

Talented talented what more can i say besides...those eyes and how they talk and laugh!!

[laurabmama]

What a fun blast from the past. My kids love it!

[VaniaEmerald]

0:54

[VaniaEmerald]

I like the way He's playing the violin..

[MrLinuso]

Maybe it's just me but.....It looks like he's done this once or twice before?!

[soulierinvestments]

we know, of course, plenty of country musicians who sing well, and we know plenty of country guys who play an instrument well. How many can sing beautifully and play 4 instruments brilliantly? There's talent worth its weight in platinum.

[MsMtnGrrl]

Love the split screens. It's like the opening credits to the Brady Bunch, except there's REAL talent here!

[VickyGoss]

cool!

[sunnyDj2]

0:37 where the hell am i?? awesome musician 

[sexmagician222]

Roy Clark mastered country music by himself, top it someone and I will bow to you

[TruncatedPR]

Now here's Roy.

And here.

And here too.

[pioupqg1]

I like it after he walks off stage cause it shows him walk off like 4 times with his different instruments he played and Gonzo thinks that is awesome lol

[artallmash]

Jack Black :)

[knoxcountykyman]

can play anything, & doesn't read a note of music, plays by ear, one of the nicest fellows in the world

[Sing4theMaster]

Wife and I went to see him at the Grand Ole Opry a few months ago. Still a GREAT entertainer. Charley Pride was also on the show that night. What a night to remember. Thanks for all the good memories from Hee-Haw Roy. Thanks you trulyfooling1 for posting !!

[TWBee]

Roy Clark could play EVERYTHING.... ummmm... except the trumpet.

[TrexsterInNC]

He is amazing.

[musikalesa]

jadore !trop trop drole!merci decemoment !genial!

[edslides]

hello? lets not speak dead of the living. roy is alive and well in tulsa okiehoma

[medog2020]

@edslides He's dead.

[Jurgen9]

No he's not, you goofy troll.

[GaGe701]

Well, that's decided. Roy Clark is the undisputed kind of stringed instruments.

[81corvy]

Great peformance by the Muppets as well

[MyCountrywater]

that was awesome man!!!!!!!!!!

[bkbj95]

he can play almost anything he picks up....God gave him a good talent...

[basenjib123]

Talented guy that never really got the credit he deserves.

[beargryylsfan12]

Good ol' Roy...played anything with strings...great musician

[skibum623]

not a fan of country by any means, but this is fantastic. first of all i love the muppets, second of all the musicianship displayed by roy clark is friggin amazing.  great song

[wdeatonjr]

I forgot how much I loved when different artists played with the Muppets.. Thank you

BTW I am 49 years old

[EvilLurker121]

Jesus he plays everything

[GypsyRider]

Roy clark is a true master of stringed instruments he has such a confidence when he plays and makes extremely technical manuvers look easy. I'm glad the lord gave us such a great talent to enjoy

[cedarpd]

he is even more fun when he comes back home now and again.thx uncle roy

[iwantmysavingsnow]

God how I miss the days of The Muppet Show, Hee Haw and Roy Clark. Simpler happier days.

[SOAPFREEK]

isnt that Roy dude such a cute guy. Love that cute and sneeky grin of his.

[edzick917]

amazing- 7 people who have no idea what talent is watched this vid.

[moonitelady]

Roy to the clark,,, rocky top anywhere***

[HAYDENtheMANDOLOR]

A master entertainer full of life ( notice the eyes & smile ) and always developing new talent in sharing messages. We have been so fortunate to have witnessed Mr. Roy Clark on the TV and videos.

[flecur08]

how can someone dislike roy clark?

[GTJack17]

what a musical genius!!!

[warrior2crow]

..... what the lol that was kinda funny

[Urankar3]

Woooooow.....Ihhhhhhaaaaa*****­

[monochrome35]

is this the muppets idea of "Appalachians"??? hahaha frickin funny

[MrArleigh]

can anyone play the banjo better than roy clark? i don"t think so

[cfrommer]

Anybody that knows anything about stringed instruments (especially guitar) knows that Roy Clark is in the top 5 ever.

[eric1love]

best to play one instrument good, then a bunch of instruments half-assed?

[mandr8k]

Roy Clark is a string wizard

[Thejohndeerecowboy]

whats cooler the fact he can play all thoose instruments or that he can sing

[TheZenBanjoist]

The Jack of All Trades, Master of None

[bpd223]

Absolutely one of the best!

[gsd1838]

-Roy Clark is the man!!! Go vols!

[crackerjacks46]

Awesome post! Loved it! Thank you for the upload. :)

[ghy76]

1:30 hahahahhahahhahahahhahhahahhah­a

[bammybound]

Roy Clark is great but I can't stand that Big Orange song....lol Roll Tide!

[krammit69]

Love that Roy Clark. Hee Haw was the best show ever

[cappsoutlaw]

is there ne thing roy clark can't play

[ckofive]

@cappsoutlaw he's one of the last of a dying breed

[LemmeLieHere]

@cappsoutlaw He said once that he'd play this on the piano, but he couldn't hold one under his chin long enough to halfway finish. :)

[storrs19]

@cappsoutlaw I don't think so. Any instrument with strings he seems to be the master of. Excellent musician who doesn't get the credit he deserves.

[bnewsom81]

@cappsoutlaw not if it has strings.

[nomicrowave]

@cappsoutlaw the trumpet?  heeheehee

[richintalent]

@cappsoutlaw yea trumpet lol

[3y3p0pp3r]

@cappsoutlaw apparently, the trumpet ;)

[bergerfry]

@cappsoutlaw That trumpet. LOL.

It didn't have any strings.

[t3hPoundcake]

@cappsoutlaw I bet he'd suck at CoD.. This man's a genius lol.

[moecat1000]

@cappsoutlaw yeah the trumpet didn't ya hear

[myrg450]

Roy is always awesome and I've been a Muppets fan since the beginning. Bless Roy and bless Jim Henson.

[RHMETAL]

A lot of people thought that The Muppets was a children's show, but they forget about all these great performances that you wouldn't see on any other "Children's Show". Alice Cooper, Roy Clark, etc.

[Fersomling]

Amazing!

[monomachine]

holy shit

[welder541]

i was fortunate enough to sit front and center one afternoon in the roy clark celebrity theatre at branson while vacationing there. It made chills go down my spine to sit so close and listen to this legendary entertainer do what he does best. He is so AWESOME!!!!! THANKS ROY:):):): LOVED THE SHOW!!!!!

[kittyat6]

The Clogging National Anthem played by a legend!

[001GenLee]

Roy Clark is Genius on a banjo, guitar, and the rest of the whole nine yards...

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

Roy is great. But you can tell that they supplied all the instruments. He would never perform on that junk on his own. But he can make about anything sound great.

[emt2977]

Whatever happened to our good country music

[sigu655]

For real!! Today's (HA!) Country stars(?) wear makeup and sound more like POP then this Ozark In-Breeding, Negro Hangin', Confederate Flag Wavin', Swamp Water, Hillbillie, shit kickin' Country Music! Wooooooooo!!!

[wasie1987]

I have to agree with you it was good back before all the rock and pop stuff now it isn't like say back in the 50 or even 60 or 70's that was the good old days of country.

[bofts]

@emt2977 I agree what we have nowadays is pitiful

[toothpik88]

@emt2977 rap crap killed it

[chertzle]

@emt2977 Same thing as Rock and Roll, its all pop now.

[murphmacmanus47]

@emt2977 Bluegrass aint the same as country there fella

[GaGe701]

@murphmacmanus47 yeah, but unfortunately Hank Jr. messed up country music. This is NOT blue grass music.

[75egcg]

@emt2977 Nashville

[curtesm45]

@emt2977 They all started bluegrass bands

[SydbarF]

music today does not have the skill or drive it once had its too easy for people trying to express themselves to make a record..dont blame the musicians...its the companies and the producers greedy for that next dollar..if you truely are a musician...you will trace back and find who influenced your hero...and then who influenced them...so simple but no one get it...and not to many people can open up their preconceived notions about music to accept something different....and Im talking bout ROOTS

[hdiylove]

I believe I saw this guy on the Hee Haw show and yeah I was just a kid.

[autocook16]

Roy Clark looks like a mini Andre the Giant

[yooperlooper]

I was thinking of a mini Hoss Cartright! :-D

[pigpenthecat]

I love Roy Clark...I have watched him play since I was a little girl and he is fabulous...Now, that I am 43 he is still just as fabulous....none of the people that call themselves musicians have even a once of his ablility...if it were not for computer augmentation to the music most would not even be in tune. We, need more music these days with more sole....

[stratman123]

Another fun one to watch is Barbara Mandrell. That lady can play it all!!!

[Master100Mind]

is there an instrument he dosent play

[MrGizmo12]

good but not as good as osmond brothers

[stflaw]

Yeah, they killed on the theme from Shaft, too.

[LSDADL]

Roy Clark was just as good-if not better at boxing than he was at playing music. He gave up a professional career on a chance.... good choice.

[almostgone33]

what ever happened to hee haw???

[davidn87]

This is cool.

[telecom1776]

It was said at one time he could play about 19 different instruments. Yes, the Odd Couple episode is somewhere on here too.

[victor45662]

Not to sure about this video..but dang, Roy could play the hell out of just about dang near any string instrument.

[LolaBonne]

The man is awesome, no doubt. I'm not even a big country music fan, but this guy?  Awesome. :)

[hat2393]

I want to find a video of him playing on the Odd couple. Fastest guitar player I have ever seen!

[westernsharpie]

ya, the skin flute!!

[mellophonium]

So, is there anything he didn't play?

[scottnsuzs]

I've never been incredibly fond of Roy's voice, but his instrumental talents are amazing.

[DarkOsirisRose]

is that a mandolin?

[hamaki747]

yes

[Dobes2TBK]

@DarkOsirisRose you betchum - I'd like to see it closer - those bowl-backs are a booger to play and keep from rotating on ya.

[crashdude24]

good old rocky top go vols!

[bofts]

Thats one talented sumbitch

[truckercollins]

Ok was donst he play ? That was awesome.

[MillisaAnn]

Go Vols!!!

[hydrocutty]

this is what you call "talent"

[vadodgecowboy]

I remember watching this as a kid brings back the good days!!!

[rlmelco]

Ditto!

[efil4own1]

This is my favorite version of "Rocky Top". No disrespect to the Osborne Brothers, but Roy sings the song in a key I can actually sing in. :)

[71NovaSS]

Roy is STILL the man.

[WAHOOUPS]

Roy Clark Shits the dixey chicks out in his stool.

[auntbecky]

are you kidding? he's be more than happy to play with them. that's what sets Roy over people like you.

[EdwardClark1902]

Guy is awesome!

[SSKID65]

Way Cool performace!

[EricFlatpick]

What's that banjo he's playing? Looks like an oldie.

[01sapphireGTS]

Sooooooooo much talent ! A LOT of musicians owe a LOT of thanks to people like Roy, Chet, Jerry Reed,  etc.

[Rheems1]

I would rather see the muppets playing than Roy Clark.... I wonder what sound it would make if you slammed him in the head with his banjo.... if that afro and those sideburns would muffle the sound much.

[mazakman1957]

Afro? You must be blind as well as deaf and DUMB! Roy Clark leaves more talent in one of his turds than all the combined dick-see chicks will ever amount to as long as they live. You must be a tree-hugging communist to make a remark like that. Certainly not an American....

[fknugly222]

though we disagree with Rheems, he has every right to say what he wants or be a communist aswell. That's america and as americans we shouldn't put stipulations on what that means.

[Hoopskidoodle]

Roy Clark is a banjo/guitar/mandolin picking genius. But, you are a hateful som-bitch, and you have no idea what being American means.

[davidk83]

That is flat out incredible that one person has that much talent....Rock On!!!

[ThatNashvilleSound]

1978 appearance- today inducted into the country music hall of fame

[heywoodjosh]

Roy Clark is really in now??

[republicanboyatheart]

I could deal without the muppets

[fknugly222]

I prefer muppets to republicans.

[micropope]

nice trumpet solo

[scottchiro]

I am in heaven too - this is great!!!

[UtahMike41]

Roy Clark is a genius when it comes to stringed instruments. He can play more than what was shown here.

[metalpriest420]

is roy clark dead?someone please tell me

[thiger89]

no, he is still alive (*1933)

[Ruthenya]

I don't remember this episode. but I think I've died and gone to heaven.

[historicbloke]

chuck norris thought it was roy clark

[sdvma]

Thats Talent!!!!

[oldmungral]

anyone who says chuck norris is an actor obviously has never seen an actor

[ftwelve12]

this rules

[ladyblue614]

I LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!

[RevFlowerjoy]

The days of Heehaw and the songs that will always be and have a special place in America Culture and That is why We miss shows that Like that!!

[OttieBlue]

It amazes me how many songs that I pick that the muppets sing along. Whooooh.

[uuuultra]

All they need are some vomit orange overalls and they're set!
