[CTNWB]

Wes Bryan here: Haven't heard this one in years but it was always one of my favorites from Buddy.

Buddy died on this date Feb. 14 in 1999, he was 65. RIP Buddy we still love you.

I've been a fan of Buddy Knox for more years than I care to mention,but must admit this is the first time I've heard him singing"white Sports Coat"...he does a fair job...it must be an alternate album track,probably from his Norm Petty Roulette years

As often as I've seen this video posted, I've never taken the time to give this version a listen. I certainly like the way this white coat is being handled but It dosen't sound like Buddy Knox. If I didn't know any different I wouldn't of guessed it was Buddy. I know Buddy Knox best for his Three Eyed Man, Party Doll & Open and yet I wouldn't know that was Buddy I was listening too with The White Sports Coat. Thx4 postin'.

I prefer this to Marty Robbin's rendition.

Oh love this song :) Buddy knox is one of my favorit singers know=) Listen to his songs everyday can´t stop listen;)

[nomiclas]

i use to think that covers were a lack of talent but now i just love to hear someone else take on things.

¿ is this from their roulette early period or the latter in liberty records? it sounds from the age of ling ting tong and lovey dovey, liberty era in 1961

You gotta love this dude and that wonderful smile. But alas, I heard he smoked a lot and died from lung cancer, just like my dad.

[CptSato]

It is skillfully covering this wonderful song which became a big hit in my country in front of above half a century.

In that I listened, Buddy Knox is the best.

Thank you for nice posting.

A few years ago I purchased a Buddy Knox very rare Lp, and that song doesn't appear. Anyway, in my mind's still Marty Robbins as the best, but I also love Buddy's rendition. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Spain

You're welcome, Greetings to you, from Canada.

I Have always enjoyed this Song by Marty Robbins, but i have never heard this version.

This is a Lovely Version.

Thanks for this.

[barrygioportmorien1]

Yeah, Marty's my favourite singing this, but I am a big Buddy Knox fan also.

[vintagegoon7]

Grew up with Marty Robbins'. But this is very nice.

[barrygioportmorien1]

Yeah, Marty's version is the best, I just thought I'd throw in Buddy's version since I am such a big fan of his. If you are a Marty Fanyou should hear a tribute song to Marty called "He Sang The Songs About El Paso" by Billy Walker, It's terrific.

Barry.

I'm glad you posted this. I enjoyed it, very much. Will check out Billy Walker. Thanks for posting many of my favourites, Robin Luke's 5 Minutes More especially. Best, Pat.
