Brenda Lee was singing at the Calgary Stampede in the late 80's(maybe 1990). Roger was also performing there and came to her and complained about his voice. She gave him the number of her throat specialist in Nashville. He had advanced cancer and nothing could be done. Roger, unfortunately, was a heavy smoker.
I just happened upon your site...and looked at all of your videos...A Big Thank You for what you are doing...these are all interesting and a great jistory lesson on early television and country music. Thanks RC
What a great show! Thanks for sharing.
That was fun to watch as Roger Miller showed his talents and Glen Campbell was about to take off as well! RIP RM and GC!
Agreed! They were both incredible talents.
Going back in time is not always painful....for instance this wwonderful show .... no frills attached ! Thanks @The CAD Amusement Company
Gyad Dang. What a treat, no, a treasure. The talent, the quality, fantastic. A new fav on repeat.
Thank you for sharing this GEM.
What a genius he was,RIP Roger👍
He was truly a great entertainer..doodeedoodoodee
Roger Miller was top billing!
Definitely filmed in early to mid 64, notice the cover of Roger's album Roger and Out when he starts singing. Released in 1964.
Well-spotted and thank you
CRAZY Genius who died to young 1991 age 56

You are very welcome. Hope to have more good videos up there soon...
1964
This is amazing. Is there any chance you have any clips from The Roger Miller TV Show? It is lost right now.
Probably erased the tapes
I'm curious about the year this was made. Could it have been 1964?
Not sure. Seems a little late. My guess is '62 or so. Wish I knew!
You notice hardly nobody does any covers on His songs
REM did with "King of the road"
@@murraymims120 Loads of singers did his songs including Jim Reeves, George Jones, Ray Price, kd Lang, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson and plenty more.
Glen Campbell could sing with the best of them and was as good.
