I had a Horrible stutter that I was grateful to get rid of (mostly.) But when I hear people like Mel speak, I feel heart broken that they weren't able to get past it as well...

It's amazing how Mel overcame that bad stutter. He became not just a successful songwriter and singer, but also an all-around entertainment personality. Andthe stutter never went away!

He's actually doing really well controlling the condition.

I love this era of country music. Not only for the fact that music is so good but for how all these singers were so dang funny. Mel Tillis, Merle, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash and so on. They were always joking around. Reminds me of my Dad.

Mel had the best stories. I was blessed to see Roy Crk in concert about 4 years before he left us. RIP all of you great gentlemen from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏🕊🎵🎵 Your music lives on forever as well as your comed routines.

Hey Baby...w-w-why don't you give your 'ol-'ol-'ol horse a rest...Cuz' there ain't no use in us...ttt-trying to wear out your brand new sss-saddle. Then Mel belts out: "Well...I got the Horse and you got the Saddle. We like to ride side by side." The Best! Thank God for musicians like of Mel Tillis, Roy Clark, and Glen Campbell. The list can go on and on...for sure. But the best of them were sitting right there together in this show!

Mel broke-through with his Superpower called God’s love.

Being a stutterer my self I wrote to Mel and received a 2 page handwritten response from Mel who is a giant in the country music business and a mega- lovely man who has inspired millions of people with a speech impediment by this giant. Mel- your fans love you and will miss you but we still have your recordings and videos like this one that show your wicked sense of humor!

Wow what a lineup look at the stage plus Roy's outfit!

@BrothersBuilds

Made my morning! Thanks for sharing!

Mel sure seemed like a fun guy to be around. He seems to take his stuttering issue in stride and even pokes some lighthearted fun at it, joking about recording a sermon.
