- Song Randy Travis sang during an episode of Matlock back in 1992
I met RT one night back stage after a show that I was playing with him and asked him about this song. He told me that a friend of his (name I can't remember) wrote this song for him specifically for this episode. People claim Allen Shamblin & Billy Kirsch wrote this song but I spoke with Allen Shamblin by email and he advised that he did not write this song and further advised that he wrote the song "THE LIFE OF THE PARTY" for Neal McCoy which was a totally different song. Therefore, as of right now, the true songwriter of Randy Travis's LIFE OF THE PARTY is still currently unknown but RT made it clear that he did not write it.
That night, Randy Travis turned and told his road manager he said "Remind me when we get back to Nashville to go cut that song in the studio because it's a good one and I had forgotten about it." He then turned to me saying "I'm so glad you reminded me of that song, I've always wanted to record that song but never got around to it. Later that night they left for Nashville but unfortunately it never happened to my knowledge. About a year or so later Randy had his stroke.
This is my favorite song by him acoustically.
In this video, I have enhanced the sound with sound software and sort of remastered it. Btw, RT was a GREAT super friendly guy that night, Such a cool experience.
How many people are here from looking up the song after watching Matlock 😅, such a great voice!
That clip just came across my Tictok and brought me here!
@@bryanjones8978Same lol from you 😂
Yep 💯
@lonniemiller5032 you're welcome bro😎
Me lol never heard the song by Randy Travis.
I remember seeing this episode, I was totally stunned when he started singing.
@@RK-gf2hg me too
I have this Matlock episode on dvd and absolutely fell in love with the song. I have searched for it on a record but have had no luck finding it. It truly is sadd that such an incredible voice is still not performing. I was lucky enough to grow up when he was topping the charts! A wonderful talent.
…& a wonderful man too!!!❤
Here is a version of the song right here

I’m looking at Matlock right now watching Randy Singh sent me that he had a stroke and he’s been under the weather to God table as boys will never be silence even if they use AI he’s forever Randy Travis
Was doing my a.m. workout and watching "Matlock" at the same time.😏
Froze when I heard this song ... then flopped onto the couch and broke down crying. Wow! (And I knew Matlock was gonna come back to the front of the porch when he heard it.🙂)
My favorite country artist of all time been listening since I was 8 or so.his voice brings me back to a simpler time when life wasn't such a rat race
Thanks for posting this. Just watched the Matlock episode this morning on ME TV and searched for it. Thankfully found your posting. Great song!
Randy Travis is awesome I grew up listing to him what happened to country music.
Yep. It's hard to think of a better voice than Randy's even though there are lots of good country singers out there. But the old days surely were the best!!!
Miss people who wrote and sang original and different things from what we hear today. Trends are the death of music. We need more of this, and Waylon, Merle, George,. Singers that you had no idea what they were coming out with next...
Love this song
Thanks so much for posting this, kuntrysanger!!! I've loved it for years, and now I can loop it all day long if I want to!!!

Legend
A beautiful deep voice.
I have that episode on right now! Had to hear it again.
No current country singer can touch him.
I can hear George Jones inhis voice.

Thank you Kuntrysanger for posting this song and providing details about its origins and your discussion with Randy Travis. It would be phenomenal if Randy Travis recovers enough to finally record this masterpiece. ❤ And, it would be stupendous to finally find out the songwriter's name, too!

Check out my version at this link. The link is safe, it's where a lot of my music is and my new album
Incredible
love to find the guitar chords and lyrics to this song and learn to play it. I miss ole Randy Tavis Always loved to see his videos/movies and music. Hearing him sing was always a treat. He was/is very talented and blessed.
I'm old enough to remember when Randy started out. I knew the first time I heard him, he had an unique voice. I watched him become one of the greatest country music stars. And unfortunately for all of us and for Randy, I watched his slow demise from the top to the bottom, because of his drinking. Strong drink has destroyed so many of the best.
His family’s medical history was actually a lot to blame…😢
Randy quit drinking many years before the 2013 stroke that took his voice. With God's help he quit the booze and is now the real man he was created to be.
It's a beautiful song, and way 7 have always been
Thanks for this
He's the best
This is from Matlock. Love it. I have this episode recorded on vhs.

Randy looks like Mr Fantastic in the thumbnail
Is this from any of Randy Travis' albums?
Wow
That voice is so.... masculine.
😊
What's the last sentence he says
The life of the party, dies a little every night,
Yeah the life of the party, dies a little every night.....
