I bring this up becuase I have beome friends with two people who were very close friends of Marty. They have personal letters from Marty...plenty of pictures. They tell me he was a "Class Act"...A REAL gentleman.
I think that was the only GL song he sang, but I thought he did an excellent job with it.
It is never mentioned much, but I believe it was number one on the Country charts for a number of weeks... That had to be HUGE for Gordon at that early time in his career.
Those must have been "magical" times....

I think Marty Robbins was just the best! I saw him in concert with my then, 5 year old daughter it was fantastic. What a showman, great singer and truly a gentleman who appreciated his fans.
