I wish somebody would have told me not to have dubbed and redubbed all of my vhs tapes just in case I would be sharing them with a zillion people

If I think of Roy Clark singing at Mickey Mantle's funeral, the song that comes to mind for him would be "Yesterday When I Was Young."

@kmillard Roy did sing that song too but I wasn't watching at the time to tape it...

Happen to have Bob Costas speaking at Mantle's funeral?

@jiveturkey25  sorry nope...

Can you upload Roy Clark singing 'Yesterday When I was Young' at Mickey's funeral? I've been searching for years to see that again! Talk about a tearjerker!

[MyyyClips]

@thez1g Sadly no...it was before I started taping..:(

[fcmsinger]

The important thing is hearing Roy Clark!

@thez1g I heard an interview in which Roy talked about how hard it was to get through that song. Did you find it?

roy was clearly in the grip of the moment.. he voice was weak..he was bleating, & on the verge of tears. he did well to hold it together as well as he did

[ELVIS4221]

HE SANG IT PLAIN AND SIMPLE JUST LIKE THE LEGENDARY MM.

NOBODY COULD HAVE DONE IT AS LOVINGLY TO THE MAN AS ROY.

WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY TO SEND MICKEY OFF INTO THE KINGDOM
