Re: Marty Robbins
There is a video, and it's here somewhere in the archive of my "Gord Stuff" collection and it's one that I took note of and taped when it was scheduled on TV, which was of course in the days when I could understand how to read the TV guide.
Can't remember the year, mid nineties somewhere, but it's about the life of Marty Robbins. I think "The Life and Times."
That voice sold me from the first time I heard him sing "El Paso." He wrote that song and knew exactly just how to bring out the utmost of it's potential in the way he always had the harmony orchestrated with those two other voices on that high note (like "out where the horses were tie-i i-i-ied") get it?
And when he recorded "Ribbon of Darkness," I was sold, and bought off again.
That voice is like non other and it's in the field of country music where Marty Robbins tended to hang out and I love country music.
I need to dig out the video though and sit and "renew the view." So no doubt, with a little inspiration, some highlights will come back of which will be a continuing part of the Marty Robbins introduction into this fold of "covers" which is a great idea, and thanks guys and gals for creating the fun that happens here.
Cheers, RJ.
