Comedy sketch with Marty and June from the mid 50's. June sings 'Music, Music, Music.' A young Floyd Cramer can also be seen in the background amongst the other musicians and crowd.
This song used to bring the house down at the Opry and it stayed at #1 in the country chart for a mammoth 16 weeks as well as reaching the #24 spot on the American Hot 100. Other artists apart from Marty to record it include Patsy Cline and Frank Ifield who reached the #1 spot in the UK with it in 1963.
Bob Nolan's classic western song was part of Marty's repertoire for 30 odd years and his version along with Frankie Laine's remain the definitive ones.
Co-written by Bobby Vinton, this 1977 song went to number 4 in the Billboard Country chart. Hank Snow once called Marty 'the singer of sweet songs' and this is a perfect example of what he meant.
This song stayed on the country charts for 25 weeks and was number 1 for 4 weeks. Hawkshaw was sadly to soon perish along with Patsy Cline, Cowboy Copas and Randy Hughes in a plane crash in Tennessee. A great song that sounds as good today, written by Justin Tubb.
Marty had a number 3 hit in the American Hot 100 in 1961. He had previously had a number 1 and 2 with 'El Paso' and 'A White Sport Coat' respectively. Such diversity in musical styles by a single artist has probably never been seen since. He wrote all three as well.
Just Marty and his guitar singing two old classic country songs. 'Letter Edged In Black' dates from 1897 and was written by Hetty Nevada. It wasn't recorded until 1925 by Vernon Dalhart who later influenced Marty Robbins and many more country singers. Other versions followed in time by Bradley Kinkaid, Hank Snow and Jim Reeves.
Written by Ted Daffan, this extremely sad ballad has been sung by many singers including Gene Pitney, Johnny Cash, Don Gibson, Ray Price and Ray Charles.
Marty's son Ronny was given the name Marty Robbins Jr and one album on Columbia Records around 1967. Following someone who had the one of the greatest voices that Country Music or Pop Music for that matter ever had, was always going to be difficult, but here he does a fine version of 'No One Will Ever Know.'
One of the all time great country ballads written by the great Fred Rose and Mel Foree. This is from Marty's 1962 album 'Portrait of Marty'and Marty sings it absolutely beautifully. Also recorded by Ronnie Milsap, Roy Orbison, Frank Ifield, Narvel Felts, Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Snow, Don Gibson and Marty Jr. amongst others.
