Marty Robbins On The Grand Ole Opry

- Here's Marty singing a medley of two Hank Williams and Eddy Arnold songs from the 60's. Marty soon replaced the late Hank Williams as the darling of the Opry audiences and stayed with the American institution for 30 years.
If you were lucky enough to be a member of the audience when Marty was on the show you would invariably get your money's worth because he would often go over time, but he didn't care; he would just move the hands of the clock on the stage back and carry on doing what he did best, singing and entertaining.
My sincere thanks to Tom in Texas for supplying the music as well as some of the photos.
What a voice ❤Gives u goose bumps.great country singer great musician loveley everything love this man.He will never be forgotten what a pity he had to leave so soon.😢😢😢
I'M A 69YO AUSTRALIAN & I REMEMBER HEARING MARTY SINGING " WHITE SPORT COAT ON THE RADIO & I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIS SINGING FROM THE TO NOW.
HE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ONE OF THE MOST GLORIOUS VOICES OF ALL TIME.
WHAT A LOSS BUT HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN BY ALL OF HIS FANS
I saw him headline the Grand Old Opry show for Fan Fare 1981, he came on about 9.30pm and we let him off the stage about 2 a.m.
A fantastic performer, it was worth the trip just for him.
In 1969 I had saved up money enough to take a trip to Nashville and was there in late June. The first night I was in town I met Grant Turner and got to go backstage at the Ryman. Later a guy took me out to Ralph Emery's radio show. It was a magical night. On Saturday night I got a close up seat and saw the whole show including the last spot by Marty. He set the clock back several times and did one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life. I should never have left Nashville again.
They do not come any better than this. Marty is The Entertainer Of The Century.
i love his singing. He's the best.
one of my all time faveorites he had a wonderful voice
Marty was my late father's idol, he saw him perform often and met him a few times, "Bouquet of Roses" was his favourite. I now own all the old man's records.
beautiful
this is really superb just love his voice marty is simply the best singer ever
KATZ KOBAYASHI R.I.P.
(Feb. 14, 2004) - The Associated Press reports that Katz Kobayashi - former steel guitar player for Marty Robbins, Bill Anderson, Johnny Russell, Jeanne Pruett, Alan Jackson and other Grand Ole Opry stars - died at his home in Panama City Beach, Fla., on Feb. 8 of complications from a stroke. In the early 1990s, he performed on the Carolina Opry in Myrtle Beach, S.C. A native of Japan, Kobayashi was 60 at the time of his death.

Marty so talented what a great entertainer wish I was around back then
Thanks kuzztau. I first heard this medley around 1964 thanks to AFN (American Forces Network) from Germany. I had my old Grundig reel to reel recorder ready and I kept my fingers crossed that the reception wouldn't fade. I still have this on my old tapes, but you are hearing this thanks to Tom Barton in Texas who was kind enough to send me this copy.
just wonderful ,,
Love this medley
I've loved Marty's voice since first hearing songs like Castles In The Sky,Love Me Or Leave Me Alone,way back early 50s, none better
Man yer old, I´m ´57.
So good!
I'm learning so much about Marty thanks to your posts! Thanks as always!
brilliant tarquin some great pics too mate thx
HE WAS SO AMAZING
A got a few songs that I´ve written that I´d loved to have pitched
to Marty, but then agin I would never had the nerve to.
Simple true country songs.
I love this guy I once talked to hi on phone but did not know who was talking to me he asked gif s date I could kick myself for saying no. What a great talent ! He wrote beautiful songs snd was a good sweet man.
Sadly Katz died a few years back.
I would date this medley as around 1964/65 and it is definitely Bill Johnson on steel.
To this day it still puzzles me how Marty never recorded Bill's now classic Country ballad 'A Wound Time Can't Erase.' Funnily enough, Marty did write a song in 1968 called 'A Heal That Time Will Wound' which I have by Wes Buchanan on the Columbia label produced by Marty.
I have a few Hank Williams videos on my channel I appreciate this I had never heard this before THank You I don't know how anyone could call the TRASHVILLE stuff Country anymore it is NOT Thanks for this its GREAT!
'Bouquet Of Roses' and 'You Know How Talk Gets Around.'
Another big thank you! 5*****S
Amazing when you think that a native of Japan could play the steel guitar well enough to play for Marty. He was one of the best without doubt. I remember a BBC show Katz played 'Steel Guitar Rag' and the presenter commented on his brilliance on the instrument. Quick as a flash Marty said "I Know, I Taught him!"
I believe the steelguitist is James Farmer. Farmer had his own style and was influenced by Shot Jackson. My favorite Marty Robbins recordings were the ones before the Gun Fighter recordings. Those early recordings featured James Farmer on steel. I got hooked on Farmer and Wiggins when was 9 years old. I've never seen a picture of Farmer.
Marty Robbins admired Hank Wiliams very much. Someone would have to be a fool not to recognize his genius. He also was a big fan of Eddy Arnold, Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow, Little Jimmy Dickens and George Morgan. I almost forgot to mention Gene Autry & the Sons Of The Pioneers.
What a loss R I P M ARTY you were one of the best ever 5*****S+
I think Marty knew Eddy Arnold's entire catalogue. I really appreciate the way he always sang them in the original Eddy Arnold style. Except on "I walk alone" where he did it even better than the original.
If you listen at 1:14 you can hear the bandleader calling a key change to the band and again at 2:25. A couple guys missed that one for a couple beats. This was probably done with little or no rehearsal. That was pretty typical of Marty from what I've heard from guys who worked around him. He expected you to be able to pick if you were going to be on stage with him and would just take off and sing and figure you would catch up if you got lost. "Turn it around @ 3:37."
And @ 3:00 he tells Marty "You're killing me!" You can actually hear Robbins smile at the remark.
"I COULD NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOU"
always makes me cry.
👍😊
is there a Dvd with all his songs?
I wonder who the steelers is? James Farmer played on all his early releases. This sounds like Farmer
Little Roy Wiggens on Steel
CAN YOU TELL ME THE TITLES OF THE TWO SONGS ON THIS CLIP?
sings like no other, this message is from Bernadette Vischjager and not Hans
