- Marty Robbins loved to sing. Porter Wagoner said that Marty was one of the few singers who would sing because he loved the gift of the wonderful singing voice he'd be given. He would take his guitar to radio stations hosted by guys like Ralph Emery and Bill Mack and sing song after song live on air. Ronny his son, recalls how he would hear his father in the wee small hours singing and his voice would be coming through the air conditioning vents. Faron Young tells how he would be out carousing, visiting the bars in Nashville, but Marty would be in the studio at Columbia Records perfecting his craft.
even my dad who is german and still lives in germany, has never been to the states has always been a marty robins fan and still is at 94 years old now.
I've always liked Mr. Shorty, and it's always great to find people who appreciate Marty Robbins. He wrote this song for his brother, who came up with the "when you call me Shorty..." line.
I was listening to the playlist without reading the titles and immediately started crying and got big chills at the beginning to "long long ago", this man is the greatest country singer ever, nobody will ever be able to reach his level, Marty is ONE OF A KIND. I am now 63 years old and still "in love" with his voice, his charm, his performance; I know the very first record I bought from my first pocket money was "Devil Woman" and I am a fan since then. Now I have a big collection of country music and buy everthing I can get and also thought I already have all songs from Marty, but sometimes I get surprised and really find one I don´t have. I can´t even say which one is my favorite, there are so many, but mostly I love the ballads (El Paso, Feelina, Red river valley, long long ago, Love me etc.), but one "good mood music" I do have, if I need a cheer up I listen to "Tonight Carmen" and I smile and always feel better.
We had so many good country singers "back then", nowadays all these beautiful songs (and singers) are gone. I hear that from all country fans, but fortunately we have cd, records and UA-cam.
Marty - we all miss you so badly, you were the greatest - you are and you will be irreplaceable. R.I.P. , we all love you.
My favorite singer of all time my favorite song is saddle tramp
God spoke to Marty Robbins
Just incredible, best country musician ever, his songs paint such a vivid portrait

Greatest voice ever in western music and Hawaiian music love marty Robbins now and forever I want his music played at my funeral not any time soon however lololol
The more I listen to Marty's music, the more favorites I find. My all-time favorite, though, has always been "Tonight Carmen."

Marty Robbins was a legend. One of the best voices in the music industry. And he wrote many of his songs.
My son and I still can't get enough from seeing and hearing Marty perform. Thanks again for posting! Eager awaiting your next postings...
Greetings, Peter
Live performances are the best, and live ones of Marty Robbins are top notch.
Thank you so much.
Great to see Bobby Sykes and Don Winters, Marty’s long time backup singers, working with Marty as “the audience.”
wow , what a voice. he puts everything into it.
this is truly wonderful love marty the best ever singer nobody comes close to him
Thankyou Steve.
Thanks for the great post!
I've never heard Marty Robbins do a song poorly and one of the things I've always liked were the surprises Marty would come with by singing Calypso, Hawiian Country & Western or Rockabilly and he did them all well!
Wow! It's great to hear the full version of Mr. Shorty.
He is such an amazing singer I love his voice
I love Marty and always will
thx tarquin,thx marty truly brilliant, god bless marty
I enjoy seeing all the praise about Marty's singing. I really wish his family or whoever has these "Drifter" video shows assembles them in order and produces them for television or releases them as complete collections on DVD.But beyond that what I admire most about Marty is that he could sing anything! Country, rock & roll, Island, Calypso, Latin and all equally well!
Thanks Diane. I look forward with anticipation about your Marty Robbins book which is in the pipeline. Thanks for the info on 'Mr Shorty.'

This is wonderful. Always considered Marty about the greatest, but never saw this before. What program was this from? What a great way to see Marty and hear this great song. Any more videos around like this?
