Marty Robbins was a member of the Grand Ole Opry for nigh on 30 years and without doubt he was probably the most popular act ever to perform there even surpassing the legendary Hank Williams. He thought nothing of going over his allotted time and making sure that the audience (who in a lot of instances had travelled hundreds of miles) got their money's worth. It wasn't just the wonderful voice he possessed, but he had charisma by the bucket load and Marty was probably the only singer who could put a across a sad Country song while that great smile beamed from his face!
Here he sings a song that many artists have sung including Jo Stafford, Jimmie Rodgers, Gene Autry and Bill Haley, but the song belongs to Marty Robbins I think.

  • NOBODY could hold a candle to Marty. Sure there are other great male artists, but Marty was the best. Do you know he had an 8 octave voice?. His backup group the Glaser Bros were second only to the Statlers. Too bad the Glasers retired

  • @parrotman1940

    I agree with those sentiments about Marty and the Glaser Brothers. Here in the UK Marty suffered through countless cover versions unfortunately. I often wonder what Marty could have achieved if he had taken a full Pop direction after he recorded in New York. With that voice it would have been great to hear him sing even more old Pop standards like he sometimes would record.

  • Piękny głos ...piekny spiew...przyjemnie posłuchać...pozdrawiam:)

  • @MrIrena64

    Marty's father was Polska!
