Today in Country Music History! Marty Robbins received the Man of the Decade award on this day in 1970 by the Academy of Country Music! It’s hard to replicate Marty because of his singing abilities and maybe that’s why you don’t hear much of his music anymore. We had a request for this song last week at our show and Tim done a good job. He doesn’t have a IPAD or lyrics readily accessible. He sings from memory on every song. It amazes me how many songs he knows! | Country River Band
