[Jason79463]

Marty Robbins one of my favorites. 

[charles47z]

I love them old time country musics

[DaveRay71]

HoooWeee! Dressed like clowns? Wish they'd use those hoglegs on some of today's "country" artists. I'm sure that Dale Watson would strap one on and help them!

[shirley6228]

my music 

[CountryBoyAndy90]

Marty's facial expressions are priceless

[tinylittlewings]

This is real Good.

[How4gospel]

[dayroemer]

I like this for sure but Possum did one hell of a version also

[mantle64]

The Rat Pack in Boots.

[Manic721]

excellent

[mrrhum]

Those outfits are just surreal. It's kind of sad, in a way. Three titans of country music and they dress them up like clowns. On the other hand, fun is fun, so what the heck.

[gabrielle931]

@mrrhum That's the way they dressed back then ,they had class,which they don't have today.

[mrrhum]

I don't know if I'd call that class. Goofy is more like it. You never saw Bill Monroe got up like that. It was all for fun anyway.

[owlking149]

[zaaritha]

[NormanSweetcream]

someone's confused... The three kings of honky tonk? Love these guys but they're not the kings of honky tonk.

[gospelmusiclover48]

Well then who is?

And dont say "hank" cause the only reason people are crazy about him is because he was so popular and then he died.

[ToddCMorgan]

People also like Hank Williams because he was so good, and he swung a lot, musically speaking! All of them were great in those days though!

[zhope7]

its webb pierce/ marty robbins/ and carl smith

[broncose1]

Why, baby why was written by George Jones\

Darrell Edwards.George released it in 1955

and it became either his first single hit or in his first 5 top hits. It's momentum was a cover version by Webb Pierce and Red Sovine.

that hit no.1 on the country charts.

[Gemini9857]

What about the Charley Pride version?

[dreadnought45]

George Jonesz recorded this in the early 50's. Did he write it, broncose1?

[mrgbennet]

They look so happy unlike the miserable talentless buffoons of today.

[outerspacerocker]

word up my brother!

[mickster1965]

@mrgbennet your so right!!

[mrallcock]

@mrgbennet - heck yeah they are happy- they out a pickin' cotton like their pappys used to do...

[martyandfaron]

That TV show much have been shortly after Carl Smith, Marty Robbins and Webb Pierce filmed their 1957 movie, "Buffalo Guns."

[broncose1]

Now ain't that "special",ha.Very cute video.The guys looked good dressed as cowboys.

[rockfilly]

fantastic, fantastic, the moonee valley drifters also do a gr8 version.

[TheShufflemeister]

The definition of cool.

[TheShufflemeister]

the definition of cool

[riv4life618]

Very cool

[jocelynn62985]

George Jones did actually wrote it and recorded it first . I'm sure you knew that though. Sorry.

[adamgoodale]

no, Webb Pierce released this way before george recorded this!!!

[jocelynn62985]

maybe so...or maybe not.But one thing rings true.George wrote the damn thing ;)

[Ags1fan]

No, adamgoodale is right George did the remake Webb released it way before Geroge did so you're wrong.

[jocelynn62985]

Ummm no actually,you and adamgoodale are wrong once again. Do your research kids. It takes a simple look at the songwriting credits and you'll see George Jones and Darrell Edwards wrote it together,and if I'm not mistaken George recorded it in 1955,and then Webb Pierce and Red Sovine recorded it another year or two later. So...yeah kids,believe it or not,George did actually have a career prior to 1961.

[Cashfan84]

yeah you're so right not everyone knows it, but yeah george does it best

[redfoley]

Wasn't it Webb and Red Sovine on the original recording?

[highnrising]

The tall guy looks and sounds like Carl Smith. Is the short guy in the middle Marty Robbins? There's no mic on him for his solo.

[kuntrygrandma]

Yes, that is Carl Smith an Marty Robbins.

[kmcwhq]

Yes.. Thanks!

....been wait'in for this one.
