a great writer/singer/performer/entertainer/showman
Marty has long been a favorite of mine...have a stack of his records KNEE HIGH.. purt near everthing he recorded and one he didnt. [exists only on a transcription for the Armed Forces Network]
only saw Marty one time - back in 1978 at the OPRY - he rushed in from the local race track and closed the show, and what a show he gave!
INHO Marty was certainly one of the all time greats of country music. he covered a wider range of music than anybody i know of
country/western/rock & roll/pop/hawaiian/south of the border tunes
