What happened to MARTY ROBBINS?

Marty Robbins was a country and pop music legend. His life ended much too soon. The first cross-over musician and the first musician to use distorted guitar on a record.

I am in absolute awe to see how many people he touched, even 38 years after his death. His quick wit and showstopping personality has passed on to my daughter even, not to mention his humble approach. I would love to hear any stories you have of him. I could listen to them all day and rather than try to guess what he was like, id rather hear it from those who have loved him for 80 years. The video game Fallout New Vegas has breathed in some life to his following, as Big Iron is featured in it. All these kids wondering who Texas Red was hahaha I absolutely LOVE IT. I recently found his grandparents parents buried in an old cemetery here in glendale - my great great grandparents. Just some amazing history and I couldn't have asked for better genes.

[@skipdow3]

I guess I'm glad there was only one black kid at Donelson High when I was in the 11th grade, outside of Nashville. Unfortunately, I had to move to a little town outside Savannah my senior year. They wanted to be sure we had exposure to black folks, so they bussed them in by the hundreds. We had armed sheriff's deputies standing in all the halls. A riot broke out in the Lunch room. It was Chili Day, so we had those big white bowls that probably weighed 5 pounds a piece. The room ignited in Thrown Chili Bowls Looked like big white snow balls flying through the air. It made National news. Oddly enough, not much else happened that year. The kid that was determined to sit at the table with the football team, never made it happen. He ended up under the table, with a head injury. Marty raced at Nashville Speedway in the 1960's . He asked the Grand 'OL Opry folks to let him perform last, as he had to change into his performer's clothes , coming straight from the Fairgrounds, where the speedway was. Two friends in High school helped out in the Pits, and said he was a super nice guy, very unpretentious. To get to talk much to him in the pits, they ended up helping out. He was 100% about racing while he was there. He got dirty like everyone else. At the beginning of this clip as they were showing Marty, they spoke some of his work in Arizona- The microphones in the pictures had WSM cast into them. WSM is a Nashville, Tenn. station, and always has been. It was the station that broadcast the Grand 'Ol Opry, and probably still does. Brought to you by Martha White Flour. The little ditty was sung by Flat & Scruggs way back then.

[@dmfj1980]

I still listen to WSM daily. One of 2 radio stations that are actually worth listening to! Most of everything that is labeled as music nowadays is absolute garbage and it's unbelievable that so many have such terrible opinions of what actual music is. Due to poor tastes of most younger people it would be great if people that like Dildototheface Luke Bryan or that diarrhea from bands like Florida Georgia Line should not be allowed to buy record's or do anything to make them popular. It really is garbage and bro/pop country is in itself an abomination. People seemingly almost don't really care about talent or song's that actually have some substance to them. It's like just about every album released anymore is produced by the same person and that guy is the suck. Too bad I wasn't born 50 or 60 years ago when these idiot's who rap and claim it's country weren't even thought of. Just my opinion. Oh btw Marty Robbins is legend!

So glad to have found this little video documentary on Marty Robbins. Two (hopefully) fun, true stories about the man: 1.) In the early/mid '60's my brother and I played the 'Gunfighter Ballads' album to DEATH at home. Then our younger brother was born and when he turned 5 or 6, we started introducing him to Marty Robbins' music. My sister, who had tolerated us playing that album incessantly could NOT abide the thought of another generation enjoying Marty's hits and singing along. She much preferred Bob Dylan, 60's rock and American folk singers, so she PAID us to take that vinyl record out and use it for skeet target practice. We obliged her because frankly, that recording was "purt 'near wore out" anyway. And then we went home and promptly put on our brand new copy of Marty's "More Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs"! 2.) I remember watching Marty perform on TV in the late '60's with Roy Clark and I think - Bill Monroe. Marty and Roy had fairly long hair, and were dressed pretty wild for country music at the time, but Bill was dressed like a classic older Bluegrass player; suit, western string tie, cowboy hat.... Anyway, they were singing and playing J. Cash's "I've Been Everywhere" and got into the section where they had to sing-recite that LOOONG list of cities. Marty and Roy tripped over the words, got lost, and just started cracking up, laughing. Bill Monroe stayed in character, kept vamping, and looked pretty perturbed until they finally got their "*#%t" back together and went on. I thought to myself, "I'll bet they're stoned!". Still do think that.

[@bixsingsthemusicoflife2047]

Growing up, I'd heard Marty sing, as my Dad was a western fan and musician. Later, I became a musician and moved into an apartment complex in Thousand Oaks, California. I was out laying by the pool on weekends, and this really nice guy and his wife and kids lived there, and he would invite us to play pool volleyball, and we'd all have a good time. One day a friend came over, and he said "Oh man, do you know that guy?" I said, sure. Really nice guy. He said, "That's Marty Robbins!" I was shocked, but sure enough, others there confirmed it was him. Such a celebrity, and so humble. And I called him by his name the rest of the summer. I moved on traveling etc, but what a great memory.

[@shirleyjones9736]

This is & was a very talented and gracious man, he has been missed by many of us for a very long time!

What a great photo...Marty and Mini...with the tag on the hat...gotta love this,...a friggen classic keeper.

Thank you for this. It's difficult to think of my youth, as a child of the 70's, and not imagine a Marty Robbins tune playing in the background. My Father was a huge fan too, and honestly, I found myself getting a little emotional while watching this video. His songs carried so much emotion and it was a hard life, growing up poor in the South, but a Marty Robbins song always seemed to make life a little bit better. Lot of bittersweet memories. Thanks again for sharing.

[@Alpha11]

Thank you for the lovely compliment.

[@Alpha11]

Hey, lagaman11. I really appreciate what you wrote here and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@lagaman11]

You're very welcome. He was the real deal, a real class act. IMHO, he doesn't get the respect he truly deserves in country music.

[@2fast2block]

Every once in a while I'll play El Paso. Not only a great song, but a great memory to remember all those words. Thanks, Marty!

[@dalebaughman5830]

When I was a child I fell for not only his looks but his voice. Every song was my love song and until I die that's the way I feel about him. I'd turn up the radio and dad would tell me to turn it down. I knew dad also enjoyed his music because he would sing some of his songs himself. To step back in time to the little Buckeye AZ town I grew up in this man will forever be in my heart. Marty, I loved you then and at 63 I still love you now. Forever you have my heart. Love, hug's and kisses from me. I miss you still even though we've never met except to share your song's.

I always loved Marty Robbins! I never got to see him live, but my uncle did when Marty performed in Lubbock once. After his scheduled songs, he sang requests from his fans for quite a while. I thought that was great of him to make sure his fans were happy! My father worked for the Santa Fe railroad in McCamey, Tx after high school at the time Marty’s El Paso came out. He told me that a radio station out there played the song continuously for days! I was watching a documentary about Marty’s life once and they were telling a story of him racing at a small track. He had taken off the required restrictors and was flying around the track passing everyone! When he crossed the finish line, he jumped out yelling “I cheated, I cheated!” He explained that he just wanted to see what it was like to run with the big boys! I’m sure they didn’t really mind since he owned up to it and didn’t try to claim credit that wasn’t really due him. I loved his spirit and his singing voice. I love ballads that tell a story since at one time that was how history was remembered. Marty and Johnny Horton and Hoyt Axton all hold a place in my heart for being first class balladeers.

Marty Robbins was the best singer and songwriter. You can make many movies out of the songs he wrote!!!!

[@victorialouden1912]

I live in Cincinnati and went with my dad to Marty Robbins last concert all night while on stage seemed like he was having chest pains and died a day or two later!! RIP Marty!

[@DISHMAC]

My Mothers favorite singer. Took her to see him here in Chicago area a few months before he died. My Mother was like a teenager when he took the stage and after this I was hooked as well! Thanks for posting a tribute to him.

[@russellcampbell9198]

Dad loved his stuff and my father too was a child of the Depression and a WWII vet of the South Pacific. I went to El Paso partly because it was dad's favourite song. Love Marty's stuff - always.

[@vendettex6020]

I wasn't old enough to actually get to meet Marty, but I carried his music with me during Desert Storm. One of my favorite musicians, will always be.

[@coppertom1967]

What a nice video. Marty was my great uncle, and growing up every time I was told "Your uncle Marty is on tv", my response was always "yeah. Whatever". I mean I had Rush and Ozzy as my musical heroes. One night in the mid 70's he was performing here in Phoenix at Verterans Memorial Coliseum and of course we had to go. After the show, he came back to our house in the tour bus with his band and it was probably 11 at night. I was 9 at the time. We lived on the corner of a major street and I can remember looking outside and there must have been a hundred cars parking around his bus and the number was growing by the second. Long story short, he stayed at the bus until the wee hours signing autographs for every single person. Eventually the police came and ran everyone off or he'd still be there. LOL. That's just the way he was. He's missed.

[@effiebug4278]

He was a great entertainer live. Two of the best shows I've ever seen.

[@megatrollificus]

Now tell me your musical taste improved and it'll be a story with a happy ending. (j/k Rush was remarkable, just you should have room for them *and* your Uncle Marty)

Gone too soon. A good man with a great voice. RIP

[@bedtimebiblechat7152]

He was one of my favorite country singers back then. I don't think I heard one song of his that I didn't love! He was a super star!!

[@PaulSmith-cr7ex]

Marty Robson was a great singer

[@mwilliamshs]

Who?

[@rpm12091]

A good friend of mine loved Marty's music and admired him, RIP MSGT David Fogelberg.

[@AbysswalkerD]

Marty Robbins is one of The All Time Greats in Music History. What a great guy. He was Humble, Charismatic, Friendly and a Damn Good Singer with a great smile!

[@ronmailloux8655]

unmatched vocals and a true country super star.

[@vynonyoutube1418]

Marty was so good. I will admit, i did not grow up with his music (born in the 21st century), and i only discovered it thanks to a videogame having Big Iron as part of its soundtrack (i'm pretty sure a lot of you know what game i'm talking about), but man, was I impressed when i checked his other music out. Better than a lot of the new country.

[@batheandrelaxinmyshit6344]

VYNLT How do you know that you were born in the 21st century?

[@josecarioca8785]

Yeah, the "Ain't I right" and "Master's call" are my favorites. I wonder why those were not on Fallout.

[@killer4238]

god bless fallout new vegas

[@alantowncar7431]

[@Alpha11]

I'm glad you enjoyed it; Marty was great!

[@doraannekey5228]

I still love listening to Marty's story telling songs! I had never heard Marty's songs, then in HS, every year at Prom time, the local radio stations would play, White Sport Coat and I loved that song and even though he was no longer singing, I started looking for and listening to his other sings!♥️

[@wildatheart1165]

The Great Marty Robbins, thankful that they still play his songs on radio ❣️❣️
