Marty Robbins Sings 'Jamaica Farewell.'

[TheBovers]

Rabits Go Home sucks

[cawimmer430]

OLD MUSIC = AWESOME

CURRENT MODERN "MUSIC" = PURE CRAP

[rob89234]

great song :) never let this real music die :)

[rogelio451]

great version, loved Harry's but this is just as good

[jj50173]

Marty Robbins has been gone nearly 30 years and his music is as fresh

as it was many years ago. There will never be another Marty.

[nickwalco]

I like Harry's version better but Marty can make it work :D... i mean for a country singer he sang it good :D

(my fav marty robins songs are strawberrry roan, saddle tramp, big iron and the alamo :D)

[burnley5960]

Two of the Greatest voices EVER Marty And Harry Both 110% Class

[PeteRieck]

Marty Robbins treatment of this song is great. Loved his attitude. Now about Harry Belafonte----he is a bitter communist, socialist America-hating racist. So, yeah! I like Marty Robbins version better.

[burnley5960]

@PeteRieck I love Marty but stop talking crap about one of the greatest actors and finest voices of the lot The Great Harry Belafonte

[music1831]

@PeteRieck what a fucking asse-hole,you must be.

harry would have more of everything,that you lack.

[PeteRieck]

@music1831 Sorry, I shouldn't have injected politics into this. He probably does have more of everything I lack. What prompts me to fire back on him is his over the top statements and accusations of others. Please just check out some of his speeches and statements by Googling or Bing "Harry Belafonte Communism" and read through some of it. I'll keep my comments on the music from now on. Sorry tarquin45, to have this stuff on your video upload.

[burnley5960]

He had a wonderfull voice Im not a country fan but I love Marty and the Man in black Johnny Cash both great voices may they rest in peace

[TheCarambasam]

Wonderful voice and beautiful accompaning voices

[lustyrusty]

Beautiful photographs - however, I think at least one is a CGI.

No matter - they're ALL good!

Thanks for the post.

[TheGummug]

[Ashrockstar14]

[cpnstav]

This man had an exceptional versatility which i dont think we will see the like again this century Thanks for posting Tarquin

[lordzilu1584]

This song should've been in Fallout New vegas

[burnley5960]

Both are as good as each other Harry and Marty they were both very special true greats

[loverofcountry506070]

First time I heard Marty sing this song, very good job. Hank Snow also does a very good job on this song. Both are as good as it gets!

[natman882001]

belafonte is better

[burnley5960]

I agree but I love Marty Robbins Devil woman is just about unique what a sound

[tarquin45]

I think the Robbins version is superior, but it's all a matter of opinion.

[trimaican12]

@natman882001 who the first sing this song?

[Munichon]

Very nice song with Marty Robbins' warm voice. When i watch this clip i long for summer, sunshine, beach, sea and more... not only in Kingston town but also on a lonely island in East Sea 5*. I'm dreaming...

Thanks for posting.

[MuslinTree]

Marty Robbins didn't find it necessary to do an accent or anything. I admire that. Beautiful slideshow too.

[cpnstav]

great song By Marty well put together video tarquin thanks for posting.

[Diago2000]

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!! Marty Robbins could really take a great song & make it even better...His El Paso & Devil Woman were my all time favourites...little did I know dat he's sung other great tracks as well. Hope all u Marty Robbins fans check out his rendition of "La Paloma"....Just brilliant!!

[Phantomsbreath]

I had no idea that Marty Robbins of all people would cover this one.

[nancyfloressantos]

Very nice video clip. Thanks for this sharing.

[konawaruk]

Beautifully done! I absolutely love his voice. He left us way too soon. RIP!

[spicyjamaican]

I'm that lil girl he left in Kingston Town. LOL. I've been in love with this man before I even know what puppy love was.. My mom would play Marty, Jim Reeves....oh to name a few...El Paso is still my all time favorite of Marty...

[coralreef3728]

Wonderful Collection of the Legend

[burnley5960]

I love Harrys voice but Marty makes a great job of singing it both great voices

[candw87]

MARTY and JIM REEVES -Two of the best ever

[tarquin45]

I heard Harry Belafonte's version the other day, but I must say I think Marty's version is better in my opinion. Try Marty's 'Calypso Girl' Beatrix.

[iamjoe93]

i agree. this is my fav version

[jbrandiwine]

I agree heartily!

[aloha10m]

CaptSato, thank you too for always commenting so positively to my posts sir.

[CptSato]

I heard to Marty's various music Hawaiian,

Caribbean,Mexican, Rockabiily and Gospel songs and more others.

Really, Marty Robbins is a versatile singer.

His one is a lot of covers as well as the music of the own composition, too.

However listening to being singing a song

His song doesn't make feel old at all.

This song,too, in favorites one which I love.

Always Marty's beautiful and clear voice is

So "Great"

I appreciates a posting sincerely as one of Asian's Marty Robbins huge fan.
