Marty Robbins 'Letter Edged In Black' 'Convict &The Rose.'

[candw87]

A great Oldie first heard it way back when sung by Frank Crummitt

[ratherknotty]

Good but I think Hank Snows version of 'convict and the rose' is better

My grandmother used to sing "Letter Edged in Black" and "Barbara Allen" to me when I was very young in the late 1950s and early 1960s. I've been looking for this song for years and could find no reference to it until now. Thank you.

Marty Robbins was unequaled when singing Country And Western Music. I think he was the greatest singer in Country music. You Truly Are Missed Marty

One of the songs my mother used to sing to us kids. She had a ton of them from when she was young. This was always one of my favorite.

Hard to listen to this song and keep dry eyes.

[Wolfiemouse]

Awesome ... a true legend.

Another great version is one sung by Alan Arkin in the show "A Matter of Principle" from the early 80's. Great Christmas movie.

I love Marty's singing, but I like Jim Reeves the best on this song.

@barrygioportmorien1 They are both classic
