Marty was by far my mum’s favourite born only days apart in September 1925 so I showed her this; she loved it. I used to play it on my guitar and we would sing along as we did to a lot of Marty’s songs as she got progressively unwell. I was singing this song to her as she died so it will keep a very special place in my heart. I sang it at her funeral, if you had not posted this video we may never have heard it. Thanks Tarquin for all your Marty posts they have given us hours of enjoyment.

Thanks for such a moving comment. I feel proud asnd privileged to have posted so many of Marty's songs. I always think of it as kind of payback time in that he gave me so much pleasure through the years.

Actually zaaritha Marty was the best. For all round talent, vocal ability, songwriting and charisma he was on a different level in my opinion.

Thanks for all your comments by the way.

No. Marty was never on the same record label as Don and Phil. They did I believe, appear together on a US TV show together and Don toured Britain with Marty in the 70's.

I totally agree with your comment updike, apart that I don't regard him solely as a country singer. I think he is far better than many singers in the Pop field and it would have been interesting to see how his career would have panned out if he'd taken the Pop route instead of the country trail after Ray Conniff.

I think this version of the song is undoubtedly the best version of it.

I have loved Marty's music for years and have always been glad I got to see him at the Ryman in the late 60's, when he was at the peak of his career. It find it a damn shame that country music radio, even the ones who claim to play classic country, seldom play anything of his but El Paso. He left a great body of work and Willie and the boys in Texas should play more of Marty than they do; other stations should play him more instead of the crap they play. Thanks for the great video, Tarquin.

I love, love this song. Marty sounds wonderful, as always. His voice is so smooth and pleasant to listen to. Gene Watson also put this song out in the past and he is terrific. A good song like this truly stands the test of time. The ballads are the greatest I feel and this old classic will be forever popular. Thank you for posting. - Paula

I loved Marty like a brother, he inspired me to start playing music many years ago

and I still attempt to play his music even today, he was a one and only and I am

positive Heaven is enjoying him as much as we do.

Tarquin 45, My freind, I hope, Thanks again so much for posting Martys very beautiful music, for all of us to enjoy

@tarquin45 You certainly opened my eyes to all the beautiful songs Marty has recorded; as a semi-pro singer for over 30 years I can really appreciate the quality of his vocals and harmonies. Thanks again

Marty Robbins was one of the most versatile singers of all times. He NEVER recorded a dud...not even ONE!

The balance is so well reached and the musical complement slips so smoothly into its real role.

this guy ( Marty) has one of the best voices that was ever out there- What a clear voice- and a beautiful tone quality- Do you ever wonder how a Barry Manilow even sold a record?
