Barbara Danley I think mtb7001 was comparing Roger Miller's to Randy Travis's. Of course, Roger Miller wrote it but other people have their versions of it. You are , of course, correct, his is the best. I remember listening to this with my father. He listened to it with my daughter, Beth. She had it played at her wedding in remembrance of him as he passed away 7 months before her wedding.
You're right, Douglas Reeves! It was sung, among others, by Dean Martin in records, live in the Frank Sinatra Spectacular (1965) at the Kiel Opera House , St.Louis and then in his show with Roger himself. It has been a great Roger Miller's hit!
I am from Santa Fe, New Mexico. When I returned home after college in 1975, Roger Miller lived just outside of town, by Glorieta Pass. Sometimes he would come into the Forge Lounge at the Inn of the Governors Hotel in Santa Fe. He would often drop in and sit-in on the stage, playing many of his hits. He would do this for fun.....no money. And my friends and I loved hearing him. Rest in Peace Roger.....you are a total Santa Fean in my book.
When I was a kid I was able to see Roger Miller's at the county Fair. He was walking through the fairgrounds right past me. I was so in awe I just stared as he walked by. He was close enough I could of touched him. I couldn't make a sound.
I love this song and I love to hear Roger Miller sing. It brings back memories of when I was a little girl and my mother would sing along with it. She loved this song so much.
Babybluebbw same age as Bobby Darin :-( ...but RM is so much luckier to have lived much longer than BD. Wish BD also sang this very nice, catchy song :-)
I'll be damned. I also came here on Jan 2. Exactly 5 years later. Not on purpose. Robin Hood led me here, lol. But I always loved RM. Happy Heavenly 85th Birthday, Roger Miller. 😊
I've always liked this song, and the oldies radio stations still play it. Don't listen to the radio anymore because I get few radio stations where I live, and I don't like those few. But I can get all of the songs, talk, and news I want online, so I still get to enjoy lots of great entertainment, and all just for the price of my monthly internet service. I don't pay for any online pay tiers, because there's tons of free programs available online, usually with commercials or ads. I'm older than this song, so I grew up with commercially supported TV and radio, so I'm used to and okay with that format. Anyway, I enjoy offerings like this, so thanks for posting it. And what a fun song.🤗
@@lmundishop8047well miller wrote the song and the songwriters get all the royalties, the producer is just a ‘hired hand’ I’m sure miller made a fortune on this song over the years
My daughter played this song at her wedding in honor of my father. I remember him singing along with this song as a kid and my daughter has the same memory. Roger Miller was a musical mainstay of my youth.
On this day in 1965 {April 9th} Roger Miller performed "King of the Road" on the 'Ready Steady Goes Live!' episode of the British musical program, 'Ready Steady Go!'... At the time the song was at position #26 on the United Kingdom's Singles chart, five weeks later it would peak at #1 {for 1 week}... On the day of Roger Miller's appearance on 'Ready Steady Go!', "King of the Road" was in it's second of two weeks at #6 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, three weeks earlier it had peaked at #4 {for 1 week} and it spent thirteen weeks on the Top 100.. Roger Dean Miller passed away at the young age of 56 on October 25th, 1992... May he R.I.P.
Listening today, remembering my dear Daddy, who died 8 years ago. Roger was one of his favorites and he raised my sisters and I have to a diverse appreciation for music. This is nothing like what it out today. Roger was amazing. Husbands and Wives is an incredible ballad. I'm sure it was a satirical move to include a QR code linking this video, but thanks Tosh for introducing Mr Miller to the youngin's. RIP Dad. You are sorely missed and will always be my King of the Road.
Thank you so much for this upload.Roger Miller......we'll never see his like again.He was one of the most talented singer songwriters to ever walk this earth.I have been a huge fan of his for almost 50 years,and he never ceases to amaze me.
Great song, fell in love with it first time I heard it, I was only young and sang it all the time, I thought he was fantastic. Many thanks for this, Anna.
On this day in 1965 {April 9th} Roger Miller performed "King of the Road" on the British-TV program 'Ready Steady Go!'... Just a little over a month later on May 13th, 1965 it would peak at #1 {for 1 week} on United Kingdom's Record Retailer chart...

On this day in 1965 {February 7th} Roger Miller's "King of the Road" peaked at #1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, it remained in the top spot for ten weeks... "King of the Road" prevented four other records from peaking at #1: "Lemon Tree" by Trini Lopez peaked at #2 for two weeks "Red Roses For A Blue Lady" by Bert Kaempfert peaked at #2 for two weeks "Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey peaked at #2 for four weeks "Red Roses For A Blue Lady" by Vic Dana peaked at #2 for one week... And Roger Miller's next release would also peak at #2 on the AC Tracks chart, his "Engine Engine #9" peaked at #2 {for 3 weeks} on June 30th, 1965, and it took a another 'King' to keep him out of the top spot, Elvis' "Crying In The Chapel" was #1 for those three weeks... Roger Dean Miller passed away at the young age of 56 on October 25th, 1992 {lung and throat cancer}... May he R.I.P.
Followed this link eventually after watching his episode of Quincey M.E. during Lockdown 2 (Covid) 2020. Great guy and song. Disaster singing about cigarettes that killed him at a silly age by today's standards. Great voice.
I have to admit that I first heard of him when he provided the voice of the rooster narrator in Disney's version of "Robin Hood". I've since heard a few of tunes. Sounds like he had quite the career.
My mom thought I should learn to play the clarinet. I gave it a go, including 4 years learning it from the guy who taught Herb Albert to play the trumpet. The truth: It bored hell out of me. To try and interest me, the music teacher had me pick out a popular song book. It included "King of the Road" which I loved. I played it over and over and over. I played up tempo, down tempo, breathy (wind instrument term) and clean. Every way I could think of. Next lesson the music teacher said something like, "Finally, you're playing music not just notes."

who can argue that Roger Miller's King of the Road is an old time classic and it's still catchy today??
his version is "the" one, there is no doubt
mtb7001, 'his version'? He *wrote* the song!

@@bobbilluck2222 I'm great. How are you?
@@bobbilluck2222 and of course I still listen to music. Its my life
Always brings a smile to my face. Who doesn't sing along to this song.
When I was a kid I was able to see Roger Miller's at the county Fair. He was walking through the fairgrounds right past me. I was so in awe I just stared as he walked by. He was close enough I could of touched him. I couldn't make a sound.
My Dad was killed, early in life, in 1982. He loved Roger Miller. He was 38.
I love his music because I was his favourite daughter. Much love. Xx
I'm sorry for losing your dad so early in life. May you feel his live always. 🌹
One of my mom, my girls and my own favorite singers. I have clear memories of my parents singing along to this while dancing in the kitchen.
My mom favorite, How are your Beth 🥰
I do not live in US and I still know and like this song.. it is universal when you talk about poverty and free spiritedness
I really like to sing along this song. But Roger voice is just something you cannot replicate
I love this song and I love to hear Roger Miller sing. It brings back memories of when I was a little girl and my mother would sing along with it. She loved this song so much.
I love this music Beverly, 🥰 it's for my mom
Remembering Roger today on what would have been his 80th Birthday. Rest in peace Roger Miller! Jan 2, 1936 - Oct 25, 1992

Pure excellence, still seems to be fresh to these modern times. Classic quality performance from a legend :)
This song reminds me of my Mother and Dad.. I can just see them dancing and having so much fun,... Great memories ... Thank you for posting..
You are welcome, we are glad it brought back such beautiful memories!
Lynda, me too, my dad used to sing it, it's takes me back to the 70s
Love this song. Rest in peace Mr Roger miller.
Love from South Africa
this song made him a man of considerable means
Probably not rich but I'm sure it helped.
Hit songs made producers money not the artists. It was a big racket back then.
@@lmundishop8047well miller wrote the song and the songwriters get all the royalties, the producer is just a ‘hired hand’ I’m sure miller made a fortune on this song over the years
First wife took it all.
Vocally gifted artist, no doubt. ❤
When this song was released I was in high school. Miller inspired me to write songs and he became my songwriting idol.
This song was first released in 1964, boy did I love it then on the Juke Box.
AM radio, 1964 was on a tube console, 1965 on a brand new 7 transistor radio you could carry in your pocket.
My first grade class sang this Song for a School Show in 1969. I still remember it well!
Greatest guy ever. I remember his songs when I was a kid. My mom loved him. This brings back a lot of great memories.
Me too Ruby, my mom used to sing it smiles
Hi Ruby 👋
Classic. One of my all time favorites.
This King of the Road is one of the Kings of Music. Roger's songs are great.
Wonderful! Roger and his guitar, nothing else needed!
Wow he nailed it. Great performance.
My daughter played this song at her wedding in honor of my father. I remember him singing along with this song as a kid and my daughter has the same memory. Roger Miller was a musical mainstay of my youth.
My dad used to sing this song often! Great tune.
What do you admire most about Roger

Roger Miller is in all of us.
Roger was truly one of the greatest songwriters of all time
Brilliant. Roger Miller was certainly one of a kind.
This song takes me back to when I was a kid, absolute classic.

Never gets old.
Childhood memories. Sometimes I have my tap classes dance to this... :)

+Crocheting Canuck That is most excellent! Thank you for sharing the memory.

Great song. I first heard it in the 90s covered by The Proclaimers
Sounds perfect.
