Roy was funny,a great singer.He was a master, guitarist, fiddle,and banjo player.Underated.
Yes he was. He made it look easy but I know he was always working at it. He was a joy to watch. Thank you for watching!
Good ole days when things were much simpler. He was a true talen. R.I.P. Roy.
What an absolutely beautiful grave, they did a wonderful job with that marker with him on it.
Thanks Rhetty. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
They really did do a great job with his memorial location. There are a lot of monuments and markers that are phenomenal in this cemetery. Thank you for watching Jodie!
Yes Roy I washed him on Hee Haw he was very good playing his guitar thank you Roy you did really good job thank you for bringing this to me Merry Christmas bye-bye
You're welcome and thank you for watching. He really was quite the entertsiner!
Thanks for posting your visit to Roy's final resting place. He was an awesome entertainer who projected a warm friendliness....someone you'd love to have had lunch and chat with.
I personally never heard any stories of him getting in trouble because of alcohol or dope. He had a problem with punctuality when he was with Jimmy Dean so Dean fired him. I guess that was his most serious shortcoming. R.I.P. Roy.....loved your guitar pickin'.
Even with that problem of always being late he had no trouble at all finding about there job. Wanda Jackson then hired him. I always wondered if that had something to do with him coming to Oklahoma. Roy had an incredible amount of talent. Thanks for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory Maybe he knew that if he wasn't on Wanda's bus on time he'd get left behind!! :~)
Very nice tribute to Roy. Thank you. I had the distinct honor of meeting him a long time ago and he truly was a very talented gentleman. May he R.I.P.
I never got the chance to meet him but I did see him perform live. He had ton of talent though. I wish I had a small fraction of it. Thanks for watching!
I love heehaw and loved his music.
He wad a great entertainer. Thank you for watching!
Loved Roy Clark! One of the greatest guitar pickers ever🎸🎶🎵🎼
Loved Roy Clark. I saw him around Tulsa from time to time. Just a very kind soul and down to earth person. Loved to smile!
I met Roy 46 years ago when I was 9 months pregnant and was very large. He was concerned that I might go into labor during his show and that I might not get help in time so he sat me and my husband at the time in the front row middle so he could keep an eye on me. All during the concert he would stand in front of me and question me with a silent thumbs up. It was the sweetest thing ever. I loved him then and I love him now. I hope I never lose that memory💖. Thank you so very much Rhetty for bringing him in front of me again. Thumbs up Roy💖
Wow that really is incredible! Most people don't seem to be too concerned with others well being. Especially busy entertainers. That really is impressive what he did for you. Thanks for watching and sharing that special memory of him. That shows who he really was.
What a beautiful memory! He will always be the best guitar picker and musician ever!! He is missed.
Joan - What a BEAUTIFUL STORY!!!!
That’s pretty cool sweetheart 🤙
lovely video tribute to Roy Clark! the one and only. R. I.P. Roy!
He really was an incredible entertainer. Thanks for watching!
I loved to watch him play malaguana on his big electric guitar. It was gorgeous.
I may have to see if I can find a video of that.
You're right. Roy Clark was still pickin' and a grinin' to the end. (1:20) I'm related to the family that owns the Baldknobber's theater in Branson, Missouri. Roy Clark was playing afternoon matinees concerts at their theater almost until the day he died. He was a legendary entertainer. The man could play almost any instrument you threw at him. I regret that I didn't get down to Branson and see him play before he died.
That's neat your family owns that theater. I've seen that there for a long time. I'm not sure how long it's been there. I think Roy really helped Branson out a lot and it was a placed he loved. Thanks for watching!
In the 1980's Roy Clark sat in the box next to us, on more then one occasion, at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, MD. Of course we had to shout out "Hee Haw" when we recognized him. Everyone smiled. He was always jovial, smiling and willing to engage in conversation. No pretense at all. He was just a very nice person and down to earth man. May he rest in peace.
That's an awesome experience that you had with Roy! Thanks for watching and sharing your memory.
One of country music’s greatest multi instrumentalists. I loved the show Hee Haw it was before my time but I still watch the reruns.
It really was a great show with a lot of star power. Sometimes they really had some great guests too.
Probably one of the best musicians to ever live 👍
Yes he was super talented! Thanks for watching my friend!
@@RhettyforHistory Not only did I grow up on Hee Haw, I grew up in a time when country music was real, not the garbage they have on today they try to pass off as country. I have a Smartphone, and listen to a lot of great old classic country songs on TH-cam, including Roy's songs. No doubt he and Buck are in heaven pickin' and grinnin'.
I wouldn't want to pay for Roy's gravestone OR picture on the ground.
We still watch old reruns of Hee Haw on the RFD channel. Never gets old. Beautiful person, thanks for this vlog.
Things have changed but you're right it still is entertaining. He was an incredible person with a ton of talent. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Micky Mantle was a big fan of Roy Clark. His favorite song by Roy was yesterday when I was young. Before Micky passed away he requested that Roy sing Yesterday when I was young at his Funeral.
I did not know that Mickey was a huge fan nor that he had made a request like that. Thanks for sharing that tid bit as well as watching.
I was very lucky as a kid to have spent time with Roy. My grandfather and Roy were both members of the same Masonic Lodge in Tulsa. He was such a humble, good natured man. Which is probably why he and my grandfather got along so well. I will always treasure those times as my grandfather has passed on as well.
Really sounds like you have some special and unique memories. Definitely something worth treasuring. Thank you for watching.
I loved watching HEE HAA ...it was a good Country music for the SINGER and SONGWRITER that was coming out into the COUNTRY MUSIC WORLD
Great job Rhett !! Roy Clark was a legend in his time. You are very lucky to have seen him in Branson.
He really was a talented man! He made it all seem so effortlessly. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the tour I agree with what was written on Roy's grave, what a lovely man. RIP
Yes they are wise words that I wish more people would follow. Thanks for watching and commenting!
This was a very great video very interesting I used to watch ehall all the time Roy Clark and Buck Owens and all the good old buddies I love that show he was a fantastic singer thanks for sharing this great video stay safe
You're welcome. It really was a great entertaining show. There will probably never be anything like it again. Thank you for watching and I hope you stay safe too.
Rest In Peace . Mr. Roy Clark.
Beautiful resting place for an iconic entertainer.
Yes it is. It will take a few years but they will really have that looking great in that cemetery. Thanks for watching!
Picking and a grinning!
I used to watch Hee Haw as a child
Roy Clark was born the same year as my mom. A very good person. This reminds me that I’m thankful she’s here, in good shape and mind intact. I’m blessed
Thanks for this Rhetty! 👍🏽
You Blessed to have her Michelle. Hee Haw was a great show and you just never knew who would be a special guest on the show. Thanks for watching and commenting!
The first time I saw Roy Clark was on the Jackie Gleason show in the early 1960's. I was just a little guy. Great video!
I didn't realize he was on there. That is interesting. Thank you for watching!
He ALWAYS seemed like such a DECENT guy!!!! Thanks for showing us his FINAL RESTING PLACE, which is LOVELY, by the way!!!!
Yes it it. I really like what was chosen for him. Im sure he probably had it all planned out. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Loved his picking he was one of the best I loved him 💕
He sure made it look easy but I know he had a lot of practice! Thank you for watching!
Awesome grave site... a fitting tribute to a legendary entertainer.
I first become aware of Roy Clark back in the late 1970's. I bought a compilation double LP set called "Country Comes to Carnegie Hall". The were four star artists on the show.... Roy Clark, Don Williams, Hank Thompson and Freddy Fender.
When I got to hear Roy playing "Under the Double Eagles" on it, I was stunned. It was beyond amazing.
I still have the LP set.
Sadly all four of those great entertainers have now passed on .. RIP - Roy, Don, Hank and Freddy.
It really is a well done gravesite. I think in a few years it will be really nice with the bushes around it. That was quite the album that you purchased! I have done a video on Hank Thompson but I'll have another video on one of the other two you mentioned. Those are all really big names in music history. Thanks for sharing your experience and memories of them. I appreciate you watching.
WOW! What a show that must have been!
I absolutely loved this video. I had the pleasure of seeing him years ago. Hes a very nice person. I watched Hee Haw with my dad, he would get to laughing so hard it scared me. Rhetty, please continue with your videos, it helps me get through my days. RIP Roy. God bless Rhetty.
He really was an amazing entertainer. I got to see him years ago as well but never got the opportunity to meet him. Sounds like you have some great memories with you Dad and Hee Haw. That's awesome. I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. Thanks for watching and sharing your memories!
In the very late 80's and early 90's, my late ex-husband and I visited Branson but never visited the entertainers there. I too grew up watching Hee Haw here in Arkansas. After moving to the San Fran Bay Area in very late 1975, I lost track of such awesome shows...Roy Clark was an awesome entertainer!
Yes he was and he made everything he did look easy. Hee Haw was a big show in it's time and I don't think there will ever be another quite like that. It seems like entertainment taste has changed. Thank you for watching.
@@RhettyforHistory You are welcome Rhetty...Hee Haw was definitely my favorite in the early 70's. I don't know now if I could ever watch re-runs, nostalgia I know would set in.
Yeah it would certainly bring back a lot of memories.
@@RhettyforHistory 👍
Great tribute.......thanks...from a Tulsan !
Thanks Ron! I appreciate you watching!
Great video I always loved Roy Clark. He was always pickin and agrinnin
Yes he was Mary! He was great at both and you could tell he loved what he did. Thanks for watching Mary!
I loved watch him play the guitar
He was certainly one of the best. Thank you for watching!
Thank you. History alive, I love it
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
What a wonderful man, and had the attitude towards life. Yes we do all need to be kind to each other.
I agree. We would all go a lot further in society if we did. Thank you so much for watching!
Mr. Clark was amazing, I recall him playing guitar banjo, and fiddle. A great entertainer, and always acted like it was as fun to him as us who where listening.
You're right about him being amazing. He had fun and was super goofy a lot of the time. He did it all so effortlessly. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful gravesite and nice sentiment written on it. I watched Hee Haw. I thought the jokes at the beginning of the show were kind of "corny"! He certainly achieved a lot in his lifetime. Thank you for the tour. 🙂
Yes it was certainly ly meant to be corny since it was in a corn field. I don't think a show like that would ever work again. Thank you for watching!
I remember watching Hee Has, too. My mom was a big fan of his, too. She would always tell the story of how she and my dad went to see him on their honeymoon and he bought both of them a drink.
Oh wow! That would have been quite the experience! Thanks for watching and sharing their story!
Didn't realize he had passed. I loved him.
He was an entertainer through and through. One of the greats! Thank you for watching!
Thank you I used to watch his shows and listened to him
He was one heck of an entertainer! Thanks for watching!
Pure class ☺️ well done.
Yes Roy really was a great guy all the way around. Thanks for watching!
One of my all-time favorite entertainers. I was fortunate to see him in concert several times. He left the world with the greatest gift of his talent and music ♪♫♪♪
You're right about that. He had a tremendous amount of talent and he made it look effortless. Thanks for watching!
What a remarkable entertainer ,he sure can play Folsom prison blues and a remarkable entertainer all the way around rest in peace Roy Clarkand he was great with hee haw
He was absolutely amazing to watching him play. A lot of people would love to have half his talent. Thanks for watching!
Hi Rhett I can tell BY what you watched as A kid that you and I are the same age 😃 loved hee haw. Back in the day we didn't have a lot of TV channels to choose from, so l would watch heehaw with my mom and dad.it was really funny and awesome. I remember that donkey what the sprig of Wheat hanging from his mouth.thank you Rhett for sharing this with me 🖐️
Awesome tribute I was lucky to see him once, I was so in love with him way back then.
He really had a lot of talent! Thanks for watching!
An amazing man.
Yes he was. Thanks for watching!
My in-laws met Roy Clark many years ago and even got their picture taken with him. It's still displayed in my father in laws office in Kentucky:-)
He really loved his fans and was a genuinely nice guy. Thank you for watching.
He's a class act!!!
Yes he was! Not too many like that anymore. Thanks for watching!
What a talent he was in playing any instrument. From what I've read and heard about the man, was that how well grounded and approachable he was his entire career. I hear he was a true gentleman and a kind person I wish that I could have met him and got to know him, too.
I've heard the same things about although I myself never met him. He certainly was a joy to watch though. Thanks for watching Michael.
Loved him as cousin Roy on the Beverly Hillbillys if I remember correctly he was introduced to us by Jimmy Dean .
Yes you're right about that. Or at least into the big times of country music that is. He was the guitar player for him but was let go because he was always tardy. He then became the guitar player for the Rock N Roll legend Wanda Jackson.
I was blessed to see Roy Clark in concert. He totally amazing for 2 hours. My favorite song, "Yesterday When I Was Young". He sang that at Mickey Mantles funeral as Mickey asked Roy to do so. He was a wonderful woman and lived a great life. RIP Roy.....my guess is you are pickin and grinnin in Heaven. Greetings from Canada. 🇨🇦🙏🎸🌈🦋😇
I did not realize he sang at Mickey's funeral. That is interesting.
🎼Those Country Western musicians were some of the very best - Roy Clark was one of them . 💕🎵
Yes he was! He had a ton of talent and he made it look easy but I know he worked hard at what he did. Thanks for watching James!
One of the greatest guitarists in history. RIP
He was definitely one of the greats! Thanks for watching.
God Bless and Rest in Peace... Our family came through "Alamo Village" just as the wrap up on his movie " Uphill All the Way" . A good movie that we looked forward to seeing (again)!
Roy was not my favorite singer but his guitar , banjo and fiddle playing were tops IMO...RIP Mr. Clark we miss you..
He really was amazing at those instruments. Thanks for watching!
Wow I didn't know he passed 😥 I was just watching Heehaw... Thanks 😊
It was big news in Oklahoma but I don't know about everywhere else. Hee Haw was such a great show! Thanks for watching!
Ive talked to many urban/jazz guitarist of my age (50s) who say Clark is one of the great guitarist. The only reason I watched Hee Haw as a kid was the Hee Haw Honies and Clark. Ive tried to talk another southern historian You Tuber to do bios of the Hee Haw cast to include putting a camera on their final resting place.
I just may do something like that. Thanks for the idea. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that would be interested in knowing all of that. I appreciate you watching!
I loved Hee Haw.....Thank you
I did too. Thanks for watching Jody!
I watched him with my grandparents also.. I remember it coming on Saturday night at 7. Bring back alot of memories to now my grandparents and parents are all gone. I like him playing the Alabama jubilee.. he could sure play the guitar..
Yes he could. He had a tremendous amount of talent entertaining and he made it look effortless. That's neat that you watched with your grandparents as well. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this chance to visit Roy's final resting place and pay my respects by way of your channel.
He could really play that guitar. Thanks Rhett.
Yes he could and he made it look effortless. Thanks for watching Greg!
@@RhettyforHistory I try not to miss anything that you post. Your videos are just great. You sure put a lot of miles and effort into them. If you ever make it to South Carolina please let me know.
Thanks for replying to my question about the cemetery where Freddy Fender is laid to rest. Roy Clark was an amazing musician!
What a beautiful and respectful video.I was not aware we had lost Mr.Clark.as always your videos are great.thank you
On my way back from my filming trip, I drove through Tulsa and spent the night there and I almost went and did a video on Roy Clark and Leon Russell. There are a number of good videos to be made at that cemetery! Glad you did it, great minds think alike! lol
Did you film anything at all in Tulsa? There are quite a few famous people in this cemetery. Leon and Roy are just two of them. Most are listed on findagrave but some are not. I filmed this in July but just never released it. I had been waiting on Leon and Roy to get markers before I filmed anything. Thanks for watching!
@@RhettyforHistory No I didn't film anything in Tulsa. Yeah there is a lot to film there!
Leon Russell was awesome.
R.I.P. Mr. ROY CLARK
May peace be with you.
Boy, he is in a beautiful spot. Hee Haw was a regular thing at our house. I remember he and Buck Owens would do Pickin' and Grinnin' and we always said they had it backwards because Buck should have been grinnin' and Roy was definitely the picker.
They were both very talented and that was a great show. There probably won't ever be another show like that again. Thanks for watching!
Wow. Hee Haw... Roy Clark... Was very young when that was on TV, but I remember it well enough. Really enjoyed seeing this one.! Thanks for posting it!
Yeah it started in the late 60's I believe. Ran for awhile then stopped then started back up again i believe. Thanks for watching!
Hey Rhetty, another Great Video, thanks for the information, very interesting, Cheers,
You're welcome Kerry! Thanks for watching and commenting!
He would dig that smile 😃 on your face mostly man
Thank you so much for sharing! Just now seeing this. What a great man and he sure gave me wonderful memories of times gone past....
He had a lot of talent and made everything he did look easy but I know he really put in the work. Thank you so much for watching Marie!
I remember back when he was pickin and grinnin with Buck Owens. He was also the proprietor of the “Empty Arms Hotel”. 👍
It was a great show with some great special guests! I think it would be difficult to have a successful show like that now days. Thanks for watching!
Now their pickin' and grinnin' in heaven.
@@KevinBenecke you're right so many of the cast and guests no longer with us, String Bean and junior , left us earlier, Grandpa, Archie, Gordy, the Hagar twins, Minnie Pearl, kinda makes you feel old and a little sad but yet blessed in the entertainment they shared with us, I'm also grateful for the Hee Haw honeys and the impure thoughts they provided me with coming of age, all in all a great show with no axes to grind , light hearted korny jokes and great music, Saturday nights haven't been the same since they left the air.
_HA!_ Yeah Roy would pop up from behind the desk. I remember that - funny silly stuff. 👌
You always do the best and most interesting videos. Thank You!
Thank you Flo Costa! I appreciate you watching!
I thought alot of Roy Clark I grew up with him on hee haw.. thanks for the video my friend..
It really was a great show featuring a lot of talent from those on the show as well as those that were guests. Roy was an incredible musician. Thanks for watching David!
Hee Haw may have been hokey entertainment but they always had amazing talent on the show. He, Buck, Minnie, Chet Atkins helped give me a love of bluegrass. I grew up watching the show in the 70s.
You're right about the show being star studded. You never knew who would be a special guest either. It was a little cheesy maybe but super entertaining. I doubt there could be a show like that today. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, Rhett! Respectful and interesting as always!
Thank you Ramona! I appreciate you watching as always!
@@RhettyforHistory I was really glad to see this on the Oklahoma History page as I have been missing your videos. When I find them on youtube, I have to do a marathon to watch the ones I've missed and sometimes I don't have time for that. I know it's more work for you to do them both places. So, thank you for doing it this time. :-)
GREAT VIDEO! His Manager was Jim Halsey in Tulsa. They had many big shows with other Halsey talent in the 1970’s at the Mabee Center. Oak Ridge Boys, Don Williams,etc... The area where his marker is in the “newer” part? Practically all my Dad’s Family & my Mother are buried in the older area just West of here. I also have some other Family on the other side of that Memorial Pond & our Family have MANY friends from one end of that Cemetery to the other😢😍🙏
It really is a nice cemetery and I think one of the nicest in the state. It's the kind of cemetery where you don't have to to worry about your loved ones being in there. Thanks for watching and sharing the information on his manager. I didn't know about that.
I worked close to the building which has signs on the front: Jim Halsey Co, Roy Clark Productions, and Wayne Creasy Agency, at 3225 S Norwood Ave, Tulsa.
That's pretty cool. It still says that?
RhettyforFun Yes, it is an ongoing business. The parking lot is full during working hours Mon-Friday.
I first seen Roy as as a 2year old in DC on the Jimmy Dean Show I will never forgot that Because Jimmy Dean pick me up andi was on stage with Roy by Jimmy Dean he was a sweet person had a big heart love him
Roy Clark was great!! RIP!!
Omg beautiful
RIP
MISZ YOU
Thank you for watching Jackie.
Watched the show for a little bit. Thanks Rhetty for the bio on Roy.
You're welcome Nadia! Roy had an incredible amount of talent. Thanks for watching!
I sent you a picture to your IG account, I hope you love it.
Yes, He Was Extremely Talented.. And a Very Nice Guy..
I agree. Here in Oklahoma everyone says he was super friendly and approachable. I never saw him to so that but I sure enjoyed him as an entertainer. Thanks for watching!
Great video Rhetty, thank you!! I also remember seeing him on the "Beverly Hillbillies".
You're right about that. He really showcased some of his talent on there. I know he was cousin but I can't remember the name he went by. I also remember him dressing up as a grandma. Thanks for watching Stephen.
@@RhettyforHistory He actually played Cousin Roy.
One of my first 45 vynal was roy Clark , was thank God n greyhound your gone ,RIP 🙏 Roy
I grew up watching hee haw. Loved listening to him sing. I just subscribed and I am from OKC.
It really was a great show and Roy had an incredible talent. Welcome to the channel. It's great to have someone along for the adventures that is from where I am!
I listen to his music great entrainer man of love RIP.
He sure could entertain. Thanks for watching Burton!
Loved that show!
It really was a great show. Thanks for watching.
Roy was an amazing person
Yes he was! Thank you for watching!
Very nice tribute!
Thank you Ellen and I appreciate you watching!
@@RhettyforHistory I'm always excited to see what you have next! Thank you!
I still see him on TH-cam to. Yes he is a great man
I'm sure he has a lot all over youtube. He had a ton of talent. Thanks for watching Joe!
I saw him live at the Circle Star theatre. Awesome!
I watched HEE-HAW with my grandparents ..I think we watched the same shows growing up
He was a Great Entertainer....
Yes he was. Thanks for watching!
Professional Professional musician
He was one of the best entertainers around. I watched Hee Haw all the time. When he left Branson, his theater was changed to the Hee Haw Theater. I remember seeing Lulu Roman and The Hager Twins. Yes, there is a geocache in the group of trees behind his grave.
It looked like someone had been behind his grave but I didn't go looking in great detail looking for anything. You're right about him being one of the best entertainers. Thanks for watching!
Rip Roy great great great
Great video as usual !!!
Thank you !
You're welcome and thank you for watching!
i was happy to see you visited his grave, but sad because i visited him this summer a week before his headstone was placed. timing is everything :-)
Yeah this wasn't too long after it was placed in there. Roy's came a lot quicker than other's I have seen. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful place to rest
It really is one of the nicest cemeteries in the state of Oklahoma. Thank you for watching!
There will never be another one like him. Why must all of the great ones go? Music today is just not the same with these singing wannabes. Musicians today wouldn't know what real music sounds like, especially country music. Now you can't hardly tell the difference between country music and heavy metal since it all sounds the same these days.
I do think you're right in that the sounds are really blended. I know there has been some that crossed over or sounded like pop. But I do think there are less of the actual all around musicians like there used to be. The music now days can be doctored to sound better so much easier than what it used to be. A lot of those old musicians had to sound good on their own or they wouldn't make it. Thanks for watching!
