Gladys I'm 72 lived in Coventry England all my life have never knew a person who has heard the song but me ignorant deaf people love and respect to you xxx
My dad was in The United States Navy with Marty Robbins I was named after him my dad actually asked Marty if he be honored to be my Godfather that he did. When Marty Robbins passed away my dad did Mr. Robbins his service
The first song I remember hearing was A White Sport Coat, I was traveling with my parents from our ranch in Oklahoma to Idaho or Washington and they played that song over and over, I was five .
I remember all his songs; El Paso, of course, North To Alaska, Sink the Bismark, and The Battle of New Orleans. I was, what, 8-9 yrs old when they came out. He pretty much owned radio for a few years.
My parents were married 71 years and along with me on car trips together we loved listening to Marty. His songs really make me think about those good times with mom and dad. RIP M.R.
When I'm elected God, I will ban auto tune. It has ruined music. It would be very humorous to hear today's music "stars" without auto tune. I'd love to hear Taylor Swift, Adele and Justin Bieber singing A cappella. They would sound like screeching horny cats. And let's not even get into lip-syncing. (Milli Vanilli anyone?). Musicians now even admit to that for "technical" reasons. Pathetic.
I love nostalgia. Today's zeitgeist sucks. But I would draw the line at having to listen to music on terrible sound systems. I think you remember and loved your youth more than your schools sound system.
My name is Sandra cross and my father played 12 string steel guitar in a show with Marty Robins in Saginaw Michigan I was around 10 yes old I fell in love with Marty Robins check my dad out Bus Butler did first mule train and you might love his dobro and playing shows with Chubby Wise
it was called talent. they really poured out their spirit when singing, and they sang from the heart, the people today are just putting on a show, trying to get noticed.
My Dad and I always listened to Marty Robbins whenever we drove to hockey tournaments together. Some of the greatest memories of my life. How I long for those days! RIP Dad and Marty.
I heard Him for the first time in 1980 (It was "El Paso" - then in communist Poland!) and he remains in my heart to this day - as a fantastic showman and a great country music performer! It's a pity that he delighted us with his great talent for such a short time! ...
The friendship between Marty and Bobby is a beautiful thing, how they kept in tune while winding each other up is amazing. Real musicians. Would love to have been there to witness this great performance. 10/10.
As always..Pure Marty Robbins. I can't help but wonder how anyone working with him could ever keep a straight face. He had a personality about him unmatched by anyone else. He was the genuine article. I don't ever remember seeing or hearing of him being crass or crude. He loved life and lived it to the fullest. Gone way to soon, but what a legacy he left us all.
Love Marty Robbins style and velvet voice. But I'd be remiss to not mention Grady Martin on lead guitar. Incredible talent whose beautiful guitar playing can be heard on many of Marty's recordings.
MARTY ROBBINS was a Funny Singer who liked to make people laughed😂 . This video also made me to laugh😂 at that part when he said to his friends, "That was good!". Thanks to the uploader of this video. This video is really good! MARTY ROBBINS, WILL ALWAYS BE THE BESTEST OF THE BEST!!
Unfortunately this great singer left us far too young ~ he has been my favourite country singer for a very long time and still is ~ R.I.P. Marty....Odette Langford. Sydney ~ Australia.
When mountains fall into the sea And sun and moon stand still When God no longer hears our plea Do you know where you will be When trees shake violently in the wind Leaving no clear place No life left on ground or wing Will you see CHRIST'S sweet face The dead and living saints will hear The very voice of GOD They had the strength to persevere Thru SORROW they found LOVE These are they who kept the WORD Thru the bitter and the sweet To receive their rich reward Do you know where you will be
I grew up listening to Marty he has a distinct voice that will never be duplicated he still is the King of ballads of the old west and I love his music….it makes you feel like you’re right there in the action !
Marty was very keen to make his live performances sound like the real thing. Almost all of his backing vocals on tracks were done on the same mic as him, so it’s no surprise that it came over to his performances too
Just rewatched this. Can't help but compare it to a xmas special I watched last night, featuring mostly young singers. As good as they were it just seemed they were trying too hard. Just looking at Marty here, he and his backup singers knowing exactly how far back from the mike they need to be, all the instruments in balance with each other, their job to push Robbins' one-of-a-kind voice to the forefront with no embellishments, I now know what "letting the song come to you" means.
The same man all over the Gunfighter Ballads album. When I was coming up, if you couldn't make a decent job of the EL Paso intro then you couldn't play.
Pretty sure that is Lee Emerson playing guitar on this show. He worked and toured with Marty for many years. He was later killed in 1978 by Barry Sadler in Nashville, and yes it's that Barry Sadler.
There are only 3 singer's I have really loved for over 40 years. Marty, Elvis, & Brenda lee. I was lucky enough to see Marty in 1981 & will always hold the memory.
I'm not particularly a country music fan, but what about Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn? I would mention Joni Mitchell and Linda Ronstadt and some others, but we all tend to love the music of our youth.
as a 8 yr old in 1969, i remember my dad taking me on long haul trucking trips. he always played this song. i also remember him saying...this song is dedicated to your mom.
So good. Brought tears toy eyes because Marty Robbins songs bring me back to my childhood and also a time that my father was alive. One of his favorites and also mine. I played all off my dad's records. He quite a collection of country and western singers.
I love this song. Back in the day we had no cellphones. We had cb radios in our cars. I worked for Answer Angelo. We were super busy. My cb handle was "Devil Woman!"
And that is what great music sounds like..Fifties/ Sixties /seventies/and even some of the Eighties music is the best i have ever listen to.Nothing like that nowadays..
Marty Robbins, Sonny James and Jim Reeves and so many others. That was country music worth listening to. Takes me back to my brother and mom playing and singing their songs.
@@gibran53 ….Most of the time artists back then did…like Arthur Smith was big on playing to a pre-recorded track….but not this performance. I watched it very closely and it's live.
This is the first time I have seen Marty Robbins on film. He was part of my youth and I caught up later too. A truly lyrical melodious singer who went too soon.
