Marty Robbins Nobody's Darling But Mine

This comes from a Bill Mack radio show and has Marty singing one of his idol Gene Autry's songs 'Nobody's Darlin But Mine.' Many other artists have recorded this song, Tex Ritter, Slim Whitman, Merle Haggard, Webb Pierce, Eddy Arnold, The Louvin Brothers, Frank Ifield and Leona Williams amongst others. Marty never recorded this Jimmie Davis penned song and I hope former Governor Davis did actually write it as apparently he didn't after all write 'You Are My Sunshine', but bought it off of somebody else. You can check it out on Wikipedia thus 'He is associated with several popular songs, most notably "You Are My Sunshine," which was designated an official state song of Louisiana in 1977. He claimed that he wrote the song while attending graduate school at LSU, but research indicates he bought it from another performer Paul Rice, who had recorded it with his brother Hoke, who recorded together as the Rice Brothers under Paul Rice's name. The practice of buying songs from their composers was a common practice during the 1930s through the 1960s. Some writers in need of cash often sold tunes to others.'

Wikipedia tells you about the writer of 'You Are My Sunshine' and 'It Makes No Difference Now' if you'd like to check it out hillbilly.

I remember Marty singing 'It Makes No Difference' on his Spotlight Show and Faron Young commenting to him 'That's An Old Jimmie Davis Song.' When you think how much Davis made out of the two songs.............!

tarquin. Thank you for saying the almost unknown truth about Governor Jimmy

Davis.. as I had mentioned to you on one of your sites that Jimmy Davis

did not write " It Makes No Difference Now".. Floyd Tillman wrote it and told

me who wrote " You Are My Sunshine" I cannot remember the name..We

were in the car driving back from the LoneStarStateHall of Fame and

he told me all about it. The newer recordings and writings Floyd shares

his name with Jimmy as co-writers. made a deal as co-writers

Boy, the way Marty Robbins can hold out the end note, in fact, all the notes, shows wonderful voice control and definitive involvement with his texts. He just breathes in what he needs, never too much, a secret to good singing.
