More Information About
For the majority of his nearly four-decade career, which spanned the late 1940s to the early 1980s, Marty Robbins was one of the most famous and influential country and western singers.
For his follow-up album More Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs, he won the Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording in 1961, and for “My Woman, My Woman, My Wife” in 1970, he won the Grammy Award for Best Country Song. The Academy of Country Music voted Robbins Artist of the Decade (1960–1969), he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1982, he received three awards at the 17th Annual Music City News Country Awards in 1983, and he received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1998 for his song “El Paso.”
Grady Martin, a session guitarist, inadvertently developed the electric guitar “fuzz” effect when he ran his six-string bass through a defective channel in a mixing console when recording Robbins’ 1961 hit “Don’t Worry.” Robbins chose to leave it in the finished product. The album charted at No. 1 in country music and No. 3 in pop music. In 1975, Robbins was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Robbins has a star on the HHollywood Walk of Fame at 6666 Hollywood Boulevard for his contributions to the recording industry.
