I had the opportunity to see him several times live and every show was fabulous - the man was a consumate performer who always kept the crowd wanting more.
It's always mystified me sissyfuss how Marty was so underrated. He was a simply wonderful vocalist who not only could sing any kind of song, but also write them as well. Thanks for your kind comments on me posting the Marty clips. It thrills me to know that some people around the world are seeing them for the first time and realizing how great he really was.
thank you sir. i'm an english man. and i can assure you many many of my freinds and family are marty fans. i'm 43 and grew up with marty thanks to my dad. once again i can't thank you enough for these marty songs. this man had one of the best voices God ever gave to a man.
this man could sing the phone book and make it sound special. he was simply incredible singer and songwriter. great man much missed.thanks tarquin for posting
Great job for posting this song of Marty.This man was and still is the greatest singer with the greatest voice that God ever created,that's my opinion and I think for all of his fance too. Marty may God bless you and your lovely wife Marizona.Rest in peace.

Dempsey:
I used to listen to your grandfather's ads on Sacramento radio all the time in the 1960s.
At that time, I was aware of the song "Detour" and of Paul Westmoreland.
But it wasn't till the 1970s that I realized "Okie Paul" and Paul Westmoreland were the same person!!
Just a classic tune--originally done by your grandfather, with Jimmy Walker singing--late 1945 I think, when Marty Robbins was a teenager.
