No others were Marty Robbins!!!!!

    ------ About the song Devil Woman performed by Marty Robbins

Todays music isn't as inspirational as the classics. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Marty Robbins bring joy to my heart when I need it the most. If it were up to me, jaz and blues would be more popular than pop or rap. The oldies will never die.

    ------ About the song The Chair performed by Marty Robbins

I first heard this song in 1972 when I was living in Salt Lake City. I had moved there with my then husband and two month old son. I had not been a country music fan until I moved to Salt Lak and that was only the type of music heard there at that time. I can still remember what I was doing when "The Chair" was played. I never forgot the song. I called the radio station every day to have them play it and would cry when they he got to the part "my body jerked and trembled and they turned it on again". When I moved back to Chicago I searched in vain for this song. No one seemed to know what I was talking about as no one had heard it. (I was not aware that it had been taken off the air.) There was another song the chair by a different country artist but not by Marty Robbins. Finally in the early 1990s I was at a rare record store and I found the album with this song on it. I had told my kids about it and played it for them. Since that time my first three kids have become Marty Robbins fans..all because of "The Chair". Anytime I walk down a long dark hall I hear the haunting melody...Thank you Marty Robbins for raising my consciousness.

    ------ About the song The Chair performed by Marty Robbins

This is such a haunting and moving song---can't imagine any other voice but Marty Robbins doing it justice. I agree with the other review---in the US we will put anything vulgar and distasteful on TV--but not this---this may be the ultimate "reality" song.

    ------ About the song When the Work's All Done This Fall performed by Marty Robbins

I am 71 years old but I can clearly hear my mother singing this when I was just learning to walk and talk. She sang it often and it has stayed in my memory all these years. I am submitting it as she knew it, probably not as it was written. Can you let me know who the author is?

Thanks for the memory.

    ------ About the song The Chair performed by Marty Robbins

It is a shame that "The Chair" had to be banned from the TV and radio! I think every school should make it mandatory for all the students to listen to it, at least once a week. If the kids had an idea of what happens when you take a life, they would stop the killing and get back to normal. I don't hate kids, I just want to see them grow up into adults (out of prisons)!

    ------ About the song Devil Woman performed by Marty Robbins

I have always loved marty robbins songs, actually still have an eight track tape of his music. I wish I could get the same songs on a CD. These are tapes from the 70's. Everyone should hear all his songs. Teresa

    ------ About the song Girl With Gardenias in Her Hair performed by Marty Robbins

I've always liked this song so much, that I listened to it, nearlyl all year! In high school it was just about every week. I'd love to be able, to karaoke this song, but haven't been able to find a karaoke cd which contains it.

    ------ About the song You Don't Owe Me A Thing performed by Marty Robbins

I'm not completely sure, but isn't it "I'm YOUR used to be"?(sort of "I used to be your boyfriend/lover", something like that). I guess it makes more sense. Feel free to answer whatever you think is correct.Thanks a lot.

    ------ About the song Cigarettes And Coffee Blues performed by Marty Robbins

I knew one of Martin's sisters and she always told me that this song was about his mother..his dad had left and all she did was sit at the kitchen table smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. He wrote this song about the many times he saw her doing this.
