@TxStorm1 I was sitting on my porch a few minutes ago and for some unknown reason this song popped in my head. I had to play it for my friends and.........................
Sure wish Marty Robbins was still with us ... He was such a great entertainer with a unique sound and voice ... Love every song he has ever sung! They don't make'em like him anymore!!
I wore a white sport coat to my senior prom in 1960. With the exception of my two children's weddings, that was one of four times in my life I felt pretty sharp. The fourth time was my wedding day (48 years ago).
Hello folks .Just I wunt to say that since the year I start to hear this song in the place I was worked and This song liked alot,I never imagine that this song were a clasic country song and , just I wuant to say I liked the interpretation
ooohhhh take me back to the late 50's why not this song did me in then and does the same now that I am 68 ... great musical talent never fails still this song shakes me to the toes WOW
And if you are ever in London,England we could go shopping for another white sport coat and I know where they do a very good deal on pink carnations !! - Frantor
Wow, what serendipity! I visited KSU for the first time in 30 years last summer and found my dorm room to be almost exactly as it was in the 1970s. Now, you send me this comment, and it brings back all of the great fun we had at the bar called "The Aggie Lounge". It was approximately 1 block due east or south of Varney's bookstore tucked back in an alley. I never could get my directions straight in Manhattan. This song and Ferlin Husky's "I Hear a Little Rock Callin": were our song choices!
What beautiful memories this song has brought back my late husband used to sing it to me all the time we had 32 yrs together and raised 8 children thanks so much for posting and sharing it with every one!
One of my all time favorite memory songs! We used to go as a group of crazy guys to the Aggie Lou in Manhattan, KS, play this song over and over along with Ferlin Husky's "I hear a Little Rock Callin'", play Magnetron pinball and shuffleboard, and drink as many beers as we could handle that night! Great times, now 35 years ago.
@JHKealing That's funny I just happened to glance at this comment and I go to school here at KSU. Was Aggie Lou a bar or is it what we call Aggieville now?
My neighbor Bertha got to see Marty live at the Skyline Club in Austin,TX, in 1959.She said "He sang and played the piano and had on a white sports coat and a pink carnation!"
Reminds me of the time when my oldest brother skipped school(1960's) with some of his friends and went to Mexico and came back wearing a white sport coat, a pink carnation in his pocket, black loafers with white tops, a cap that snapped down in front and a big smile. He looked cool to me! He got the crap beat out of him, he was 17 years old. My mom was A little woman, but could swing a belt. Billy thought it was worth every lick! He loved that song! He never skipped school again though. lol
I remember so many hot summer afternoons on our Tennessee horse farm in the late '50's and early '60's; cleaning stables and feeding the animals alongside my Daddy as the rudimentary music systerm in our barns played these wonderful hits from Marty Robbins, Kitty Wells, Patsy Cline, Faron Young, Sonny James and so many others who made often grueling and hot work less of a chore and more of a dream. Music makes the memories.
Love this song my late husband would sing it to me oh what memories we liked it so good our son was named after Marty, he was a great singerRIP Marty.
I FIRST HEARD THIS AND WENT"WHAT?" ROCKED MY WORLD FOR CERTAIN AND I WAS JUST A KID!!..IT WAS THEN THAT I GUESSED THAT WAS WHAT LOVE WAS..AND THERE I WAS IN MY WHITE SPORT COAT AND MY PINK CARNATION..FEELIN AWKWARD AND HANGIN ON THE WALL..
Not saying i dont like 50 and 60's music i love it but im not crazy about this one and not because my dad made it, it doesn't suck just much not into it. i read some of the comments on here and some say it's great well im glad you think so really, Just think, two kids wrote this song, i dont like my dad but give credit were its do
My dad and a friend of his wrote this song when they were kids, they saw an newspaper clipping and made the song sent it in and never herd nothing till one day they herd it on the radio. They did not know about having it patton to protect it. My dad is an ass has nothing to do with us and I don’t even like the song, but John Salsberg in Sharon pa got this song stolen off him.
I remember this song from the 1950's It crossed over in the pop charts.In 1968 I saw Marty Robins along with Hank WilliamsJr.(are you ready for some football?)My brother played in a local Country Western band and also performed there..and we got some free tickets.He did sing this song and it reminded me of my childhood.He sang his other songs too.Great performance.
To all you fucks out ther that wants to call this music shit you need to get your facts right before you criticize. This is were alot of today s music began . If it wasint for this shit music ther, is no tellin were alot of todays artist would get there motivation to right and sing music, enough said .
I'm in a concert tomorrow night where three choirs, male voice, female voice and mixed are singing songs together, our own separate song. Part of it consists of the male voice and the male sections of the mixed choir singing two songs together and this is one of them. and they sound pretty damn good singing it. We women get our pieces to btw.
I hadn't heard it for 30 years, but knew every word. Thanks Mum for playing these good ol' classics over and over and over.... when I was young. This man had a voice!
My father just passed away this morning and I will always remember this song. His nickname for me was Tarn and I thought this song said "Tarnation" hahaha for so many years of my life everytime i heard it and sang it with him. It's things like that I will always remember about him. His sense of humour and his love for his family. xoxo I love you so much Dad xoxo
Marty was a very gifted singer... he had a style that was hard to beat and a sound that can't be matched.... add the humor and comedy ... he was one in a million....
This was one of the first tunes that got me turned on to Classic & New country music! I've been a fan ever since.....Love Patsy, Reba, Dolly etc.......
@tonywsmith2 You're right. And don't forget Mitch Miller who was the A&R guy for Columia records and produced Marty, Guy Mitchell, Don Cherry (the singer) and Johnny Mathis, all backed by Conniff at one point. And don't the background vocalists on "A White Sport Coat..." sound just like the Mitch Miller singers? Their diction is perfect and they have such a full, rich sound. Mitch and Ray got that sound by arranging the vocalists in four-part quartets. Gives a much richer sound. Pure genius!
Good songs are timeless and ageless! This song is far more splendid than rap and hip-hop, which I detest and fail to recognize as music genres. Younger generations ought to enjoy what their parents' generations listened to in their youth.
Thanks for posting this clip. This is another treasure for me.
A #1 hit on the Country & Western Charts by Marty Robbins. This was the fourteenth #1 C&W song to hit #1 in the Rock Era. It was also Marty's second #1 in the Rock Era. This song also made the Top 40 charts, but didn't hit #1. Marty, you left us too soon.
Cafe9802 is correct, this sounds like the original 1957 version that Marty release on Columbia records which I have. Living in the New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia area it was exceptional to have a Country Western Song played by all the radio stations in that Metro area but this record made that list and was a big hit in the City. Marty was a great guy with a nice personality. RIP. Ron--Highway Stars Magazine
This is the only version I knew of, until I checked things out on youtube. There's more White Coats than meet the eye. This is the original, the one I grew up to remember...not necessarily the version I prefer to listen to now that youtube has arrived. Thx4 postin' a classic
La chanson préférée de mon père, je l'entends encore siffler cette chanson, que de bon souvenir, 21 ans demain que tu nous a quitté... je t'aime papa xxxxx
The music in this song is passable, but everything in this song that makes it the great tune it is .. is Marty's voice, Ray Coniff was fortunate indeed to be allowed to record with the great COUNTRY singer Marty.
The arranger and conductor of this song from 1957 had an interesting career, selling 70 million copies of 110 albums during his lifetime.
That man was Ray Conniff, the most brilliant arranger of the 20th century.
Marty's voice is great, but listen to the vocal harmonies, the beat, the instrumentation, the guitar, the tinkling piano, that all belongs to Ray Conniff !
Check out my 110 music playlists for ANY year back to 1900 - over 4 generations of pop music, a trip back in time . . . . . .
Great classic tune by Marty for sure. This is a song that you can listen to over and over again and not get tired of hearing it. Unfortunately there aren't many songs songs that I can say the same about these days. Thanks for posting it. :)
when i was a young boy, maybe ten years old, my parents had a L.P K-tel hits of the 50's, this was on it amongst other great songs, i loved the L.P, and still remember all these songs, thanks and god bless for posting
Ray Conniff was great and did a great job with Marty Robbins on this song. The Conniff group sold as many songs as anyone. RWB They are still a favorite as is Marty.. RWB
This topped the charts in 1957. For those who don't think they know the music of Ray Conniff..........everything on this track except Marty's voice is Ray Conniff, lead arranger/conductor at Columbia Records ! ! ! Ray had the midas touch for arranging music, and eventually sold over 70 MILLION albums in his own right.
My 'Ray Conniff '50s Starmaker' playlist features the artists Ray's music helped push toward stardom.

My mom saw him and said "AWW HOW CUTE!" ^-^

You're close dards...that old Buffett album was called A White Sport Coat And A Pink CRUSTACEAN...not carnation!!
Obviously a nod and a thank you to Marty Robbins, apparently Buffett was a fan of his.

One of the best country singers ever....a huge loss to the country music profession.

The music in this song is passable, but everything in this song that makes it the great tune it is .. is Marty's voice, Ray Coniff was fortunate indeed to be allowed to record with the great COUNTRY singer Marty.

The arranger and conductor of this song from 1957 had an interesting career, selling 70 million copies of 110 albums during his lifetime.
That man was Ray Conniff, the most brilliant arranger of the 20th century.
Marty's voice is great, but listen to the vocal harmonies, the beat, the instrumentation, the guitar, the tinkling piano, that all belongs to Ray Conniff !

Ray Conniff was great and did a great job with Marty Robbins on this song. The Conniff group sold as many songs as anyone. RWB They are still a favorite as is Marty.. RWB

This topped the charts in 1957. For those who don't think they know the music of Ray Conniff..........everything on this track except Marty's voice is Ray Conniff, lead arranger/conductor at Columbia Records ! ! ! Ray had the midas touch for arranging music, and eventually sold over 70 MILLION albums in his own right.
My 'Ray Conniff '50s Starmaker' playlist features the artists Ray's music helped push toward stardom.
