I was stationed at White Sands missile range New Mexico just a few miles from El Paso when this song came out. It was on the radio all day,, everyday for along time. Never got tired of hearing it.
A classic song my father loved way back in 1959 and early 1960s, which I recall hearing on an old record player. He loved the harmony especially as he sat listening to the story told by this great balladeer Marty Robbins. It’s a song one can never forget but remember fondly.👏👏👏👏
I was born a year before this songs debut; my name is Falinda, my father wanted to name me Felena but mom would not - because of his song. LOL Today, my family calls me Felena I'm her. LOL
Marty Robbins showed a spontaneity and playfulness that is sadly absent from so many performers, especially 'country music' performers. He is a joy to hear and watch!
I've always loved Marty Robbins. I got to see him in concert and loved every minute of it; he was a true performer, beautiful voice and a great sense of humor. I remember the day he died. I was home ironing clothes when my mother called me and told me he had died. I cried.
I was 3 years old when the song came out. My Dad had the album and it was one of the first western ballads I ever heard. Years later as a young EMT, I worked with a guy who was the absolutely look alike of Marty Robbins and sounded just like him. It was crazy because people would ask him constantly if he was related.

Today's 'country' stars are failed pop star wannabes.
