I love this song. My mom used to listen to it a lot when I was little. But he sure likes himself. Ick. I liked the song better before I saw this video...
@lindaclaudette He played with the audience quite a bit. Why do you think that he like himself? He was fantastic singer/songwriter and he lived life to the fullest. He enjoyed playing and singing, and he had a great sense of humor. Lighten up!
@geerterri he loved his audience. i heard that in his biography he said that he had a heart attack on stage but finished the show. doctors later told him that he did a lot of damage by continuing, but he said he had a show to do. the damage actually caused his early death.
Marty was not a very big man... A dreadnought almost made him disappear. For a long while he played a ukelele in personal appearances. The guitar he is playing is a Martin 5-18. Martin has introduced a Marty Robbins version of the 5-18 and I think it has been out for a couple of years. He used it to lead his band... it was subtle, but there were certain cues that he gave the members.
Back in the '70's I would see Marty host the grand master fiddler's contest at Opryland in Nashville. He was a wonderful showman. You could see how much he enjoyed entertaining his audiance. We sure lost a very talented man at a young age.
I'k Blaclk And I've loved marty from the very first time I heard El Paso, back in the 70's and. I've since loved ALL his songs and his version of any other song he has done, God bleess his soul
forst song i listend to of marty robins was big iron and i thoght that was agreat song and i looked into him more and found this and el paso and felenna are all my favourits!!!! marty is great RIP
Not only the best entertainer, but a man s man as well and as a woman s man he was mmmm OK lol . He was magic You Gave Me A Mountain. What a song He wrote it and not many could perform it. Let s see. Marty Robbins, Frankie Lane, Elvis Presley, Gene Watson, Johnny Clarke and ???? About it. Thanks for the memories.
Martin David Robinson left an indelible mark on country music. Isn't it a shame and crime the sh_t the try to palm off as country music inTrashville, TN? It makes me retch, then I listen to this man and smile.
for some reason I thought he died on the race track and have been puttin out bad dope as they used to say..all the dj's thought the world of him..el paso was like an extra lunch hour..
i love these kind of songs and i posted a waiting grave here because i know a lot of other people do to i know it is not about the song but it is still important so please for give me [msbones1950 ]a slow death
Darn PERFECT! Marty could sing on his head for all I care! His inflections, effortless vocal range, his stage antics, and song interpretation are all flawless - a testament to his status as one of the GREATEST SINGER/SONGWRITERS IN COUNTRY. WHAT A VOICE!!!!!
As much as liked and respected Marty, his performance in these videos always bothered me. He appeared either drunk or stoned. The constant mugging and goofing off kind of ruined the music.
I don't think there was anyone who loved to perform any more than Marty did. A great entertainer that left way too soon. He sang effortlessly with with a voice as smooth as silk.
he acted so silly, but he could afford to, he had it made, he was on top 15 years running, I wonder if Elvis costume designer got his Idea from marty's ? also that guitar looks really small he uses
he performed last because he was racing before each show at the opry, when he got there he was wired from driving and played until they run him off the stage.
One of my fondest memories of my mother was watching Marty Robbins on TV. She LOVED him. And I learned to love him because of her. She pointed out his humor..I was a child...but I can still see us sitting there, my mother laughing, me laughing because she was laughing...not understanding WHAT she was laughing at, but having a great time anyway.
Yes, he wrote it in 1960. It was said to be the first song to have that "fuzz" effect in it. His engineers were going to change it and he told them to leave it just the way it is. Great song! :).
@nathonics - thanks for the info, I put this on my 1960 playlist, one of 110 that let you hear the sounds of any past year as if you've stepped back in time.
I've playlisted over 300 great artists like Marty, from around the world, some of the best music you've never heard.
It's my 6000 favorites on 450 playlists so you can find your own there & play for up to two hours
Marty was one of the best singers there ever was, I would have loved to have seen him in person. Has anyone heard of a song called JENNY, I have ony heard it one time, on his last Opry appearance I think. I would love to hear it again
If you've never heard-Merle Haggard does a fantastic impression of Marty. Search here on youtube for "Merle Haggard Marty Robbins unusual video" and you can watch them both together. It's really funny!
I heard a comment from, I think it was Chet Atkins, that the biggest reason that Marty always performed last on the Grand Ole Opry, was because they could never get him to leave the stage!!! Marty performed for his fans pure and simple. He once said that one of the biggest things that kept him going after his heart attacks was the thousands of fan letters wishing him well. He loved singing for us, all of us! God Bless Marty Robbins, and I bet he is still performing up there in Heaven!
Sir, your comment is very correct. They could not get him off the stage. The show and radio program would end but Marty didn, t. During race season, Saturday nights you would find Marty driving his car at the race track. When the races were over he would haul ass to the Opry. So that was the two true reasons for him being last. I, and my Band, had the pure pleasure of opening a few shows for Marty. He was indeed a real and wonderful, fun loving, honest person.
This is Marty at his best, I remember seeing him in concert with Margo Smith when i was in my early teens before he passed away. And this is the way he exactly acted, I want to say he was having more fun than his audience. He will NEVER be replaced, No one will ever come close to respecting their fans and havin a blast with them. RIP MARTY i am sure you are putting on a good show for GOD
Amen to your comments about Marty. He will never be replaced. He relied on true, awesome talent to become a superstar. These wannabes today can only dream of being half as good.
This is what invented the fuzz on electric guitars in the 70's! Steel guitar amp tube went defective! What caught my attention is the steel guitar player kept on playing like it was normal and Marty pranced like he like it!
what can i say but a great big WOW what a great singer he was wish he was still with us thankful we can still injoy his songs and still see him on vids. wish i had the chance to see him live
I just lost my Mother...I dont know how Im going to go on , But with this Dear misic helps keep her alive in my heart even more... thanks to all that was blessed to share thier wonderfull song with us. May you all rest in peace & please sing them pretty for Mommy the way you always have.
My deceased Mother loved Marty better than all others. Before her death, I had the oppertunity to get her tickets to his show not far from home. Conway Twitty was also on the same show. She got to sit on the 3rd row. She loved the way Marty could hit those high notes. I am thankful that I got to do that for my dear Mother. Rest in Peace Mama and Marty.
Man, I would have done anything to see Marty and Conway on the same show. They are two of my country favorites.
There is something cool about seeing two legends on the same show. I got to see Bob Dylan and Paul Simon on the same show. Needless to say, it was the best concert I have ever been to.
walliegirl12. I got to see Conway and Loretta together in concert in1974 in Columbus Ga. while in the army at Ft. Benning Ga. That was an awesome show also.
I was lucky enough to see Marty in the early 80s, he was great and one of my all time favorites and has influenced my singing alot. Great artist and man.
We saw him in Indpls a few months before he passed away, the fair guys got mad at him because he ran his show over the fans went crazy, it was the best concertI ever attended and still remeber it to this day,that was 1982 I do believe...such a performer,He picked a little girl up brought her on stage and took pictures with her camera,I think he had a band member take one of him holding her, again crowd went nuts, Thank You for this RIP Marty
I even heard when he would perform at the Opry he was the last one on for the night. He spent the day working on his race car then he came to perform at the Opry at night after. At which he always turned back the clock so he could keep singing for the audience, they sure dont make them as good as marty was
I love his music and , yes, his music and this show is wonderful but it apears to me that he has some very 'odd' stage gestures. Like at 1:27 when he takes off into that very strange dance...LOL. Not in anyway that it makes me like him any less...he just does some odd stuff...LOL. Is he known for this or was it just done here for the camera?
Those odd stage gestures were part of Marty's live performances. The story goes, he was always last on the list to perform, giving him time to finish his car racing. When he got to the Opry, the audience was tired. So he would 'cut up' on stage, making them laugh, and wake up. He did it so often that he developed a reputation for being funny on stage and people loved going to his performances! Anyway, thats the story I got, I THINK its accurate!
you are absolutely right, thats what he did , i hear he even turned back the hands on the clock so he could keep performing for the audience at the opry
He did this song in a lot of his concerts, that 'strange little dance' was a part of this song in the concerts - never done the exact same way twice. I did make it to one concert in 1978.

She got to sit on the 3rd row. She loved the way Marty could hit those high notes. I am thankful that I got to do that for my dear Mother. Rest in Peace Mama and Marty.

Man, I would have done anything to see Marty and Conway on the same show. They are two of my country favorites.
There is something cool about seeing two legends on the same show. I got to see Bob Dylan and Paul Simon on the same show. Needless to say, it was the best concert I have ever been to.

walliegirl12. I got to see Conway and Loretta together in concert in1974 in Columbus Ga. while in the army at Ft. Benning Ga. That was an awesome show also.

I was always amazed at how much he talked about his beloved wife. What a lucky woman!

Believe it or not but my uncle had Marty's music playing softly in the background at his wake. It was fantastic.

I became a fan as a 12-13 y/o in 1982...just months before he died.
Wish I had become one earlier.
Now, country music is mostly line dancing crap that's kind of like 70's disco. Mostly built around the music and not the lyrics.

Not only does Marty have one of the best voice of all time, he's quite a nice cut up as well.

His voice reminds me of Jim Reeves. Another great singer. They both have soothing voices.

Marty would make faces at the audience, when they would
get up to take a photo. Many times he stayed and talked to
everyone in the audience, long after the show was scheduled
to end...they loved it!

Of course he did, he knew who signed his paycheck. He loved his audience and they loved him back.

Haha. Why does Marty keep doing that fast, "crowd-searching" gaze? Hhahaha.

We saw him in Indpls a few months before he passed away, the fair guys got mad at him because he ran his show over the fans went crazy, it was the best concertI ever attended and still remeber it to this day,that was 1982 I do believe...such a performer,He picked a little girl up brought her on stage and took pictures with her camera,I think he had a band member take one of him holding her, again crowd went nuts, Thank You for this RIP Marty

That sounds like Marty, put the fans ahead of the 'rules.'
And yes that would have to be 1982 if it was just a few months before he passed.

I even heard when he would perform at the Opry he was the last one on for the night. He spent the day working on his race car then he came to perform at the Opry at night after. At which he always turned back the clock so he could keep singing for the audience, they sure dont make them as good as marty was

I love his music and , yes, his music and this show is wonderful but it apears to me that he has some very 'odd' stage gestures. Like at 1:27 when he takes off into that very strange dance...LOL. Not in anyway that it makes me like him any less...he just does some odd stuff...LOL. Is he known for this or was it just done here for the camera?

Those odd stage gestures were part of Marty's live performances. The story goes, he was always last on the list to perform, giving him time to finish his car racing. When he got to the Opry, the audience was tired. So he would 'cut up' on stage, making them laugh, and wake up. He did it so often that he developed a reputation for being funny on stage and people loved going to his performances! Anyway, thats the story I got, I THINK its accurate!

He did this song in a lot of his concerts, that 'strange little dance' was a part of this song in the concerts - never done the exact same way twice. I did make it to one concert in 1978.
