As the story goes, a reporter asked Eddie Van Halen what it's like to be the greatest guitar player in the world. Eddie replied, "I have no idea. You'll have to ask Roy Clark.". I hope they story is true.
I'm 61 years old this year and I remember hearing about that back in the day. It's true. That's both a testament to Roy Clark and also to Eddie's honesty.
@@charlesalexander2492 Actually, Jimmy said Rory Gallagher, although there are also some folks that say it was Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. There is also a time when he did say Roy Clark. Of course, when you take in account that Jimmy Hendrix didn’t really care about trying to compete he was more interested in the love of the music and playing the instruments so he actually may have said all of them at some point in time. on one TV show he was reporter to his said when ask how he felt about being the greatest guitar player, he said well, the greatest in the seat anyways. Trying to downplay himself. But all the greats always name somebody else even Jimmy.
My step-father died in 1997. He loved Roy Clark. He told me "you'll never play the guitar like Roy Clark"! 50 years later he proved to be correct. Rip Roy.
Love Roy Clark and like him I have fond memories of my grandfather and his friends getting together on the front porch every Saturday night and playing bluegrass music I miss those times.
My grandfather introduced me to country music at a really young age. I'm grateful he did. He passed away when I was 11 years old. I will never stop listening to real country music.
I remember the song being "in rotation" when I was a Kid... but for assorted reasons I hit a stretch where I hadn't heard it for like 5-10 years... then one day I caught it on a "classics" station... that fake-out intro Got me... I recognized everything about it as Roy... but having not heard it in so long I'd forgotten that it Opened so serious and then pivoted,,,
I told Roy Clark I know a man that can tear you up on that guitar at golf tournament in Tulsa he said weres he at I wanna meet him I told Roy you can't he just died a week ago. My unncle delbert melted guitar picks he was so fast 😢😢😢😢😢
After going back and forth in a toxic relationship this song really resonates for me when I say the very best thing my EX did for me was to walk out of my life for the last time.
Roy,was a down to earth man parked beside his bus at the KW shop in Tulsa Oklahoma did know who's bus it was till I took my key in the shop and the shop Forman asked where I parked my truck say beside that big bus

He would have been correct. Roy Clark will never be matched. Absolutely the greatest of all time. ❤

Great memory. Thank you.
I’m convinced there will NEVER be anyone who will compare to Roy. There were also extremely talented and very funny entertainers in his era.

R.I.P Roy and all you greats. We just don't have entertainers like this today.
He was an all-around good guy. Had a good soul and looked for good in everybody he met.
Never be another Roy. A real performer and personality.
Still like his music and guitar playing!!!
Loved Roy Clark RIP your music lives on
Roy Clark was one of the greats.
I dare anyone today to get up and master the guitar like this. He was and always will be top 5 guitarist of all genres.
I garendamtee you no body had as much fun doing it!
Grew up listening to Roy on my Dad's 8 track player. My "The Lightning Fingers Of Roy Clark" vinyl is one of my most treasured possessions.
I WISH !!! Yes He was Awesome
"That's how I evaluate"! Such a great sense of humor, the "best medicine"!! Thank you Roy. RIP.❤
I love to hear him sing and play that guitar and thanks for bringing us these great videos.And bless everyone of you.Amen ❤🙏👍🌺
He was such a talented, wish he were still around to entertain us.

The story of my life! The only regret is that she came back after 17 blissfully quiet years.
Makes me miss so many family members , and the porch gathering's
My grandpa used to say this all the time and I'm today years old when I found out it was a song ..... 30 years later
I sure miss Hee Haw on Saturday Night.
Me too ❤
Me three!!
Me four....ever
Me 5!
Me 64 but that's my age.
Roy, you are missed. Yet you live on.
I love this song and Roy Clark.
My late husband loved this song. Said it reminded him of his ex.😂
Love the fun they all have getting together to sing…I miss so much all the Southern Gosple Music Concerts…I have not got to go since 2014.
Roy one of the best musicians bar none!!! Funny too.
Great Okie musician and my very favorite Roy Clark song!
I told Roy Clark I know a man that can tear you up on that guitar at golf tournament in Tulsa he said weres he at I wanna meet him I told Roy you can't he just died a week ago. My unncle delbert melted guitar picks he was so fast 😢😢😢😢😢

I started singing that song a second time about 5 years ago
What an entertainer! Still remember him on The Beverly Hillbillies selling Mother Maudes Miracle Medicine. And then there was Hee Haw.
Amen to the comments!
Great show !Thank you ! 💪💪💪💪💪
A great singer and a great song😊😊
It took a long time but finally he got to the song. And I too thank God she is gone.
After going back and forth in a toxic relationship this song really resonates for me when I say the very best thing my EX did for me was to walk out of my life for the last time.
Its hard to beat Thank God And Greyhound.

Pure class
Roy,was a down to earth man parked beside his bus at the KW shop in Tulsa Oklahoma did know who's bus it was till I took my key in the shop and the shop Forman asked where I parked my truck say beside that big bus
I just saw and heard this song for the first time on Ed Sullivan. I miss seeing him on HeeHaw when I was a kid.
I love that song and I haven't heard it in ages!
🗽❤🗽❤🗽❤
Brilliant!
Sounds correct enough to me 😂
WOW
Who is the old man sitting in front of Roy? He made the funny comment at the beginning.

How do you think the entertainment service makes $$ so they can offer you free entertainment?
So you went straight from never watching TV straight to your cellphone wanting to watch free entertainment.
How old are you?
Think this is a bluegrass band.
