Marty's "White Sport Coat" peaked at #2 in April of 1957 getting edged out by Perry Como's "Round and Round" one week and by Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up" the next, but Marty would rise to the top with his "El Paso" a few years later.

  • Lanny- is it true that Marty Robbins was Ronald Reagan's favorite singer? He reportedly

    performed at the White House in 1982 shortly before he died.

  • @billchew450 I had not heard this before but it wouldn't surprise me if he had been. Marty was absolutely a crowd favorite and one of the more personable entertainers among the Grand Ol' Opry crowd.

  • Cripes, where did you get the photo of the sock hop?

  • @BgMsDangerus I have so many photos I use for these videos and have had them for so long that I just can't recall where I came upon most of them including that one. Thanks, for the note.

  • If you post something here please do it in ENGLISH!!! This is AMERICA!!!

  • @ruswhit60 YouTube is world-wide with almost 1/2 the views on my channel coming NOT from America.

    As has been said, why can't music be like this today? 1954-1964 is my favorite time period for music, too.

  • @billchew450 Marty was also great in Clint Eastwood´s "Honky Tonk Man" and it was also done in 1982.

  • @Nocaro Well, I'll tell you, I was Gee Awd at the photo. Didn't think any existed anymore. It made your upload even more special for me. You ace everything you put on You Tube.

  • @Nocaro As usual, your uploads of the oldies are, by far, the best on You Tube.

  • @ruswhit60 Not everyone is from AMERICA!! I'm from BELGIUM! And I speek DUTCH! Buth I'll do my utmost to write in Inglisch.
