One of the greatest voices of his day. My father had his Gunfighter Ballads and played it often. I think a lot of people's dads had it.
Not one of his better known records but his voice is outstanding here:

Please post your thoughts on Marty Robbins here, be they negative, or positive. He made some memorable recordings and sold a boatload of records. In the 1950s, he shaped the decade to come for a growing breed of new outlaw songwriters. In the 1960s, he explored ideas around ethnicity, heritage, tradition, patriotism and belonging, among other themes. On the side, he was a NASCAR racing driver who broke down social barriers on the track and hosted television shows. "The great songs just come out. If it comes quick, just leave it that way."
- Marty Robbins
Thanks.
I don't think I've ever heard of him. What are social barriers on a racetrack, and how did he break them down?

Must have misread some information online. I don't know anything about NASCAR. I don't drive and I don't know anything about cars or watch any motor racing, which I think NASCAR might be. I don't know about racetracks either, never been to one in my life. I need to concentrate harder, it's 36 degrees at the moment and climbing. Glad it's finally the weekend.
