How nice to see someone write such a testimonial to a fabulous singer/songwriter like Marty. A guy who could do almost anything (apart from act maybe!) and refrain from laughing while singing the saddest of ballads. Even though I have been a fan nearly 50 years now, I still marvel at how good he was. Someone recently posted a version of 'Begging To You' from a 70 's TV show (Hee Haw?) and it just oozed class, sincerity and a singer at the peak of his powers. Thanks for such an excellent comment
The time is ripe for a rediscovery of Marty Robbins. He had a multi-faceted musical persona and talent to burn. He had great interpretative skill as a vocalist and has been scandalously overlooked in recent years. Anyone who likes music must appreciate Marty Robbins. He combined a genuine multiplicity in many musical genres in one effortless style.
I have found this late in life. I met Marty many many years ago. A fan since the early 50's, these songs and videos being to mind a more peaceful and favorite time in my life. Thanks for having there here.
I heard the origianal The great Alfred Apaca...the first Hawaiian singer to be heard in the states ...from radio show and the Ed sullivan show. A hansome Hawaiian doll. My mom loved him.
"......my love has gone..........there'll be no tears.....there'll be no regretting.....will he remember me.....will he forget.....someday I know...he'll come back again to me...till then my heart will be beyond the reef......". Sad song. Sad memories.
I'd forgotten that Andy Williams had done this Nancy. Bing Crosby did it too. Elvis did a nice version which was a home recording with the Memphis Mafia as well.
Thanks whispperson; anyone who picks 'Judy' by Elvis to be in their favourites shows amazing taste in my opinion!! I liked quite a few of your other choices as well.
Lovely rendition of "Beyond The Reef" by Marty Robbins

One of the best renditions of "Beyond The Reef"
Marty Robbins' album of Hawaiian music is certainly the best.

Marty Robbins is the best non Hawaiian singer for Hawaiian songs.

Marty Robbins' albums certainly features the best versions of popular Hawaiian music.
His ability to yodel or sing a bit of falsetto makes him a good singer of Hawaiian songs.

Great version. Elvis did this as a rehearsal in 1966. Can be found on several box-sets, i.e. "The Silver Box" from 1980.
