RONNY ROBBINS performs EL PASO!

[@jimwest6571]

I''ve spent nearly 50 years in country radio and I can confirm that the song EL PASO was a radio DJ's bathroom song! Nearly every other song was 2:30 seconds, EL PASO was 4:39 or so. Grew up in Arizona where Marty was from. I was honored to know Marty's twin sister Mamie and his son Ronnie Robbins. Boy, what a resemblance Ronnie has to his dad. Marty was one of the greatest ballad songwriters and best voice in any music genre.

[@darlenelogoluso1552]

I was a newlywed in 72 and I remember seeing Marty Robbins in Las Vegas, what a WONDERFUL PERFORMER and to this day I still listen Marty

[@janiceturley2059]

He is as wonderful as his father. His voice is so unbelievable like his fathers, love it as much as I love to listen to his dad, thank you Ronnie for this wonderful voice !

[@marylynndavis2651]

Most people don't appreciate true country music anymore 😢

[@grannydyess]

Marty would indeed be proud of his preacher son. He sounds great

[@jradamo]

I didn't know until 15 minutes ago that Ronny Robbins existed, but I'm impressed! Also, the man playing the guitar behind him is incredible.

[@theHumanBryno]

That was Jimmy Capps, he played with a lot of great artists, but I really like the stuff he did with the Louvin Brothers: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5C8hZJql92Wjas

[@musicfanhawk4523]

Terrific!! He sure got his dad's voice and sense of humor! Great smile too!!

[@jessejones7897]

Ronnie sounds just like marty his Dad was one of the story telling country music evryone knows you could make a short clip movie with his music

[@cindytullis7277]

Love Robbie singing

[@countrydj2]

His dad would be proud. I enjoy listening to Ronnie cover his dads songs.

[@ChrisKeyes-w7y]

I do too

[@dennisburrill3260]

I was a rock and roller but my dad turned me on to this guy's singing in the '70s. The dad I mean and I've enjoyed that type music when I would hear it. Not that often but I always liked it. And I think his son is as high as quality. Singer is his father. Very nice to listen to again at 70 years old

[@el_chief_dannyboy]

Long live El Paso County and Tex~Mex Music!

[@wookalily]

This made me cry. Grew up listening to his Dad on my Sony Walkman. He sounds so like his Dad. Just wonderful.

[@irenemccann7032]

We don’t have songs or song writers AND singers Like Marty, one of the top three.badly missed RIP.

[@juliepritchett5537]

Ronnie, I want you to know that I loved listening to your dad. I have been married for almost 56 years and one night 30 plus years ago, my husband came into the room where I was watching videos of Marty and told me a story about meeting Marty when he was in Memphis while in the Navy and going to school to become an airplane mechanic. He and his friend Bob went downtown to a bar and there was Marty. He asked them to sit down and have a drink with him. It was a wonderful experience for an 18 year old kid and I have sent my thanks to your dad many times.

[@silverknight1044]

Hi from a retired Aussie Veteran who started as a volunteer on the RAAF Radio Station in Butterworth, Malaysia in the late 1970's and again after 2002 I volunteered at 3 community radio stations around Brisbane, Queensland again in the country genre. Following 2011 I again volunteered at 3 community stations around Rockhampton, Central Queensland in country and easy listening music. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Down Under.

[@walliegirl2]

Marty, Mari, Ronnie and Janet all have so much class!

[@birgitworth108]

4:28 Ronnie sounds like his Dad and has his wonderful sense of humor..loved when he sang with Dad Marty Robbins Big mouthin around they sounded just alike ❤

[@kwantoon]

Thank you for keeping your father's legacy alive. Marty Robbins was a story teller like no other, his words and music could create such a vivid story and I don't know of anyone else that could do it like him. Cowboy in a Continental suit is one of my favorites, but. El Paso takes me back to riding in my Grandpa's truck and listening to this gem on 8-track, I can almost smell his cigars.

[@forestchicken3302]

I've loved this song forever. In my 30s now and still love it.

[@jason27swg]

Jimmy Capps what a legend rip

[@darkdog6307]

What an amazing voice and lovely tribute to a legend.

[@judyjones7780]

I love his voice he does sound like his dad who i truly could listen to all day

[@judyyater2183]

Ronny has a lot of his dad's humor and mannerisms amazing talent of coarse I'm 73 and Mom was 97 this year she passed so we are and we're long time fans

[@caridadkardoes8761]

Wow! He sounds just like his dad, gives me goose bumps! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@PetroicaRodinogaster264]

in 2013 I became the proud mamma of a little female chihuahua pup. I was mulling over a name for her and this song from my younger days, popped into my head. I sang the song to myself but just to the line which contained “Rosa’s cantina” and I knew what my fur baby would be called. By the way I am Australian not American.

[@truckerray7533]

Needs to perform the whole entire song! Marty Robbins was the absolute best!

[@janitaboatner9353]

Beautiful! I always loved hearing Marty sing that. I could close my eyes and picture the whole story as it played out! Marty would be proud!

[@jacksafford2190]

Sir, you have a great voice, just like your dad!

[@michaelhart5417]

Love this! Thanks Ronny for keeping your Dad's music alive!!

Just wonderful. Sure do miss the "Sheriff". R.I.P. Capps

[@Mosely2007]

Outstanding. His dad's was a biggie . I like Ronnie's vocals, a lot. Well done. Diner is a good show

[@abigailhumes4608]

Wow! What a privilege! Thank you for presenting this. I haven't heard Marty Robbins in many years. To hear his son perform one of my favorite songs is wonderful. Thank you. Roddie, you did well!

[@midwestguitars]

I asked the guitar player to play this at The Big Texan in Amarillo. Didn’t realize how long it was until he was still singing and our food came out 😂

[@johnathoncook521]

Rest in peace jimmy Capps. We miss you

[@doriegabriel310]

Love to hear Ronnie sing

[@bartsmith5320]

My dad use to sing this to my mom! I miss his voice singing to her. What a great memory! Thanks

[@patriciajrs46]

I am very sorry that you lost your father. I lost mine in 1996. Mom went in 2000. I miss them always and miss hearing them sing separately and together. They were great singers and musicians.

[@coyotiess]

ONE FROM Ronnie Robbins OF THE BEST SONGS SO FAR FROM HIS dad!

[@beckypotz6656]

I grew up on Marty Robbins as well as all the singers bad then when country wasn't cool. So glad that Ronny is carring on the legacy.

[@t6423]

clearly can hear marty in his voice but he has his own unique mannerism. Love to see him live.

[@kimmackinnon7753]

When I was a kid, I practically wore out Marty Robbins' "Gunfighter Ballads" Half a century later I could (probably) still sing every song on it. Too bad they didn't have time to perform "El Paso" in its entirety.

[@Pfrazier43]

I remember that the disc jockeys said it was too long and nobody would listen too it. It straight to #1 and parked there and the Radio prognosticators had to eat their words with no Catsup. I think they were more than happy to be wrong. God Bless You Ronnie, you are every bit as good, if not better, than those who would critique you. Just keep singing, we'll keep listening.

[@patriciajrs46]

For sure. I hope he knows we love him, too. Forget the critics and sing your heart out.

[@fungidungie]

I played this song for my mom before she died, I looked to see what she thought, she was in tears, asking me why would you play something so sad. A pure heart in any event.

[@marlenebadyka2280]

I LOVE TO HEAR YOU SING!!

[@obiyerovictor3129]

Me too I really do enjoy his son so much . Don't you think his really a amazing person

[@trevorbacelli]

What a beautiful voice , Ronnie just sounds like his Dad, great song El Paso, been to Elpaso Airport passing through to Houston , many years back in 1984, Thank you for putting this song on youtube, Regards Best Wishes Trevor.W.Bacelli, Biloela Qld Australia.

[@stevesloan56]

Had a very very young age, I was fortunate enough to see Marty sing this song live at Knott's Berry farm. A memory I will never forget. Also, Peter Paul and Mary were performing that night as well. How can I ever forget.

[@petercunnius4028]

Awesome! Love Marty & Ronnie. I will always remember this song as the bathroom break song. thanks, larry.

[@murielioane765]

[@bobbyjones-dr9il]

You did your father justice thank you.

[@basketthound2133]

I had the honor of seeing your Father, Marty Robbins perform at a live concert in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario Canada, around 40 years ago. He had 3 buses parked out side the hockey arena he was doing his concert at. I shall never forget , what it said on the sign on the top of the Bus.: Nobody you've heard of. I also have been to Laredo Texas, another song of his. You sir, have done your dad, a great honor. Thanks

[@29brendus]

Outstanding!

[@loveableurbanlemur]

i miss watching the diner on Saturday nights. our cable company dumped RFD TV about 3-4 years ago and haven't been able to watch it since. a darn shame too since my wife and i both loved the show.

Thank you Diner. We love Ronnie Robbins, his brothers, and of course his Dad. Very good music.

Wow. Some parents leave their children an inheritance of money and maybe land, on their passing. Ronnie's dad left him a book of songs, and a few things to laugh about, it appears. To me, that's a gift that keeps on giving.

[@ulrichschnier307]

More than a quarter of a century ago I was stationed at Fort Bilss in El Paso when I was a young 2nd Lieutenant. It was in that fall of 1996 when I met and fell in love with the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Due to a quirk of fate, I did not find the courage to make her my wife, although I believe today that she wished for it. Now, 27 years later, I am a "full bird" Colonel. I have never been married. And not a single day passes by on which I don't think of my beautiful Angel and those days back in El Paso.
