_By the early 1970s, Clark had been named "Entertainer of the Year" three times by the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association (CMA). The Academy also named him "Best Lead Guitar Player" and "Best Comedy Act", while the CMA named him an "International Friendship Ambassador" in 1976 after Clark toured the Soviet Union._
@@bsvenss2 Well I am glad he has gotten that professional recognition but I think in terms of music lovers talking about the best guitarists, etc, he rarely enters the conversation and he well should.
In the music industry, Clark has his recognition as master, and certainly fans of bluegrass and old country recognize his mastery as well. Those are unfortunately small audiences, but the approbation does exist by the people Clark would find most valuable to his soul. The musicians know. Watch any YT reaction video by any guitarist watching Clark play Malaguena for the first time. Here's one, by a professional guitarist who puts Clark in the same class as Prince: th-cam.com/video/pGwmpvaDqcU/w-d-xo.html
I feel you brother, I’m a Latino born and raised in Oregon and hearing this got me choked up. It brought back memories of a very happy time in my life, growing up in the beautiful country. Our family, typical large Latino family with 8 siblings, sitting around the TV set watching Hee Haw, jumping around and dancing away. Definitely music to my soul as well 😊
Hey, I'm an old white guy but I've got over 500 CDs of black jazz and rock musicians so I don't see anything unusual about you enjoying a little banjo music. I only regret that more people haven't heard the genius of these jazz greats from the past. I never knew them either, but an old guy working at Tower Records 35 years ago took me under his wing and started introducing me to the legends one CD at a time. I don't even know his name but I sure am grateful he took the time so share his love of jazz with me. Now changing the subject, it blows my mind how few young African-Americans even know who Jimi Hendrix is, arguably the greatest guitar player of all time! Music is an endless journey and each genre has its treasures waiting to be discovered. The reward is a lifetime of enjoyment.
If God gave you a gift to sing, pick and play. Use it. Never know who you may bless. I'm 74, I sing at my church. God blesses me. Not on a lot medicines. 2 half pills a day for my heart.
When Jimmy Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen were asked “What is it like to be the world’s greatest guitarist”, they both gave the same answer, go ask Roy Clark.
And he was the ultimate entertainer. He brought good singing, astounding musicianship and comedy to every show. I saw him in person 3 times. He could have stood on a stage and entertained a crowd by himself with no back up for 2 hours, I’m sure.
Roy Clark was one of the first people to ever “shred” a guitar. He was mind blowing and all the Metal heads out there that love blistering technicians, take heed of this guy, who brought speed, feel and fun into everything he did.
ANNND .. Roy did it completely clean .. meaning, no distortion, no fuzz tones, no overdrives, no funny little tricks, no funny little Effects Pedals .. there's a saying in the music business that goes "if you want to separate the men from the boys take a recording straight off the mixing console LIVE, and that'll tell you if there's real talent and/or ability" .. and who is just a pretender ✌️
Brett Adkins, there's a British guy who reacts to guitarists, and he says Roy was the best ever with any stringed instrument, whether guitar, banjo, mandolin or violin/fiddle. He was so good, he could play something extremely difficult that another player would have to constantly look at one of his hands to pull it off. But Roy had enough talent to be able to play the most difficult songs, and still make faces at the audience, or clown around some other way. Yet, being in country music, many people never heard of him.
As a child I was introduced to Roy Clarks talents and was truly amazed. I grew to enjoy most all music but gravitated to rock. With that said, I never shied from country and always fought to show the rockers in my crowd what an amazing talent that Roy was. Here I sit, an old man now myself, still in awe, maybe moreso now as I feel the age of this man in this video. Still sends shivers up muh spine and brings memories to the corner of my eyes listening to the magic. Thank you Roy for a lifetime of music. Anyone else still listening in 2024?
Being a disc jockey of course I appreciate all kinds of music especially after over 40 years of doing it and still counting. Thank God for films that we have these memories of Roy Clark and Buck Trent. I remember when I saw the original video of them doing the song together and how they were playing around with each other in doing it! Sadly they are no longer with us as well as many other banjo legends. Grandpa Jones Flatt & Scruggs String bean And many others that are entertaining in Heaven now! Thank you for such wonderful memories and all of you are truly missed.😢😢😊😊
Early 80's, but same. I loved it unabashedly when I was too young to be self-conscious, then hated its hokiness a few years later. And here I am years later.
I was a teen in the mid- to late-70s, and one of my fondest memories of living in Mississippi (where my family was from, but I'm a Yankee_) and visiting my uncle in NE MS. We'd watch Hee Haw together!
Roy Clark has forgotten more and lost the ability to do more than most musicians can dream of and yet he came back and had a good time with his old friends. God bless him and I hope that he will continue to enjoy his talent until his final breath.
@@mychaljw Me too! Ol' Buck Owens was my Father's all-time favorite Country Music Star. Dad liked RC a lot as well, but Buck was King to him 🙏 RIP to Pop, Roy, Buck & all the great folks on that stage that have moved on ✝️
Watching his old tired hands fumble brought a tear to my eye. A reminder that age catches up with us all, but he laughed at it and kept on playing. RIP
I just worked this week for a nice couple.started talking about music and the woman casually mentions she and her husband were in roys back up band ,the sound generation. her husband played A gibson howard roberts custom..
For some reason tonight a light switched on in my mind and my heart of my appreciation of Roy Clark. I have tears in my eyes remembering how skilled, funny, and a genuinely good a man he was.
This is absolutely fantastic! Brought tears to my eyes for simpler times and family gathering around to watch the show. Good times. RIP, Roy. You left your mark on the whole world.
@@rocknroll7316 I got into bluegrass after watching Oh Brother Where Art Though? Love Alison Krauss..and yeah, I have memories as a kid of watching Hee Haw with my mom and dad. My dad loved that show.
I was about 12 yrs. old when I first saw Hee Haw on tv. Loved country music since then. I'm now 74 and miss the great country classics. Thank goodness for TH-cam which has allowed me to go back into the past.
I was born March 25 1959 I have been blessed growing up to the best musicians that ever lived ,My God what memories I have growing up ,I thank my God for all and everything.
I remember sitting by my father watching Roy Clark as as a little girl and he would sing a lot of those old country songs to me.wish. step back in time to those good old days.time taken for granted.
Terry C. like most music genre these days, country has been ‘pop’ularised. Classic, latin, country, house, techno and even hip hop. You name it, it is all bubblegum nowadays.
I am 55 years old and have been watching Hee Haw from my earliest memory. LOVE Roy Clark and the gang! God Bless "String Bean" and his wife...remember them well.
first time I heard Roy I was 12,64 now,been watchin him since everytime I could catch him.My friends mom played the album one day and I thought what the bejeebers is that! Man we grew up with THE BEST! Black and white turned to color,landed on the moon,and got to listen to Roy Clark.
So many country greats are gone and as Vince Gill said at George Jones' funeral. "Some people ask 'whose gonna fill their shoes?' but I don't think they make those shoes any more." I agree with Vince. These shoes are no longer being made.
Wow! That's so sweet of you to have said about "Roy", Patricia🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Well thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
I grew up “having” to watch this country music show. I didn’t mind it too much. I enjoyed it more often than not. And this reunion is just mesmerizing. Thanks to all ya all.
Just the amount of fun he still has playing after all these years makes every moment of this video amazing. Roy clark was my grandpas idol and my grandpa was mine.
I'm a banjoist who always loved the pickin' sessions on Hee Haw. I owned Roy & Buck's album "A Pair of Fives" and loved listening to them play. It's sad to see Roy in decline here, but Buck could still play fortunately. Glad they did one final performance together like this. RIP Roy.
It was good to see Roy one last time, obviously Trent covered mostly for him. But regardless, I priceless moment of a great living legend who is no more with us.
I saw Roy in Branson years ago. He was an amazing showman and musician. One segment everyone in his band pulled out fiddles (not violins) and went to town. Amazing musician and from what I hear, an amazing human being. RIP Mr. Clark
God bless Roy Clark. The world needs more men to be humble as him. What a great talent he was but never once hear him brag on himself. R.I.P. my friend.
He was one of the greatest. I remember seeing him in person when I was a teen and he was wonderful. He plays for the Lord and his angels now but oh how I enjoyed him while he was here. Still love his work. None like him. He was a rare talent indeed.
i never appreciated roy clark in the 70s as i was just a young boy. now, seeing him play and his talent, he was a legend for sure. that guy had just an amazing gift for playing guitars and banjos and pretty much anything musical.
50 yrs old Utah,Navajo Native American who's love's Roy's playing on hee-haw🐴never in my mind did i see or hear a better musician than Sir Roy Clark. Heard him play and perform at our County Fair & Rodeos 🐎 .During the 70s and the 80s he is still my favorite icon Country Performer Ever.☆.Rest in peace my friend ur loved 💖 by all in this great country of owers 🙏amen🐣🐥🐤
It was truly amazing how many instruments Roy played so fluently. Guitar, Banjo, Violin and many others. Great entertainer. All of them on Hee Haw. One final time with Buck Trent. Thank you for sharing this.
"Hee Haw" was an anomaly: Me and my family were not particularly fond of country music and this blue grass stuff even less so... Yet, we never missed an episode when it was on! Somehow the formula made it possible for even us to enjoy it, which I do to this day. I can still hear them singing, "Where, O' where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? Well I searched the world over and thought I'd found true love. You met another and you were gone!"
One of the greatest things one can say about another human is, he or she brought me so much pleasure and Roy Clark did just that. He crossed every boundary and social line. I loved his gifts and always will.
My dad really enjoyed his playing. I was too young to really appreciate what kind of talent he had until just the last couple years. He's definitely in heaven playing a golden banjo .
When I see the familiar faces in this clip, that have aged so much, I am reminded of how old I have become! Still there is talent here that has yet to be equaled.
My banjo pickin brother made me love the dueling banjos! He was in a band called Jango in the 70s in the San Jose area. But he dueled it out with Annie a violinist/fiddled. The wooden floors of Mountain Charlie's were nearly stomped on down to the hill. Man! Thanks for allowing reminisce.
For just a few minutes you see Roy's age melt away, and we see the youth...that has never left him and will be given back when he's called home... @Mike Yerke, I hear ya Hee Haw was so formitive in my first 10 years...
Amazing how age can make a person struggle to finish a sentence but yet you give that person something they've known and loved their whole life and it's like they haven't aged a day.
Buck Trent was a great talent. Natural entertainer. Roy , Trent and Bobby were the best Banjo players that ever lived. Roy could pick up any string instrument and create a masterpiece.
Oh what a treat to see the See Haw clan together again, and the Dueling Banjos was so refreshing to hear again, Thank You Roy Clark & Buck, simply amazing!!
That's so sweet of you to say Dennis🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
I'll never forget Roy Clark. I grew up on music roll. I watched Roy drive his motorcycle through the window of RCA recording studio. Loved to play county music, being a Flatt I learned to play guitar with Chet Atkins, the Stoneman family, and of course my family. I'll remember that for evermore. Keep pick'en & a Grin'en.
Honestly, this video is adorable. The genuine love this folks have for each other is so obvious. The joy in Roy's face playing this is just astounding. When people live for music it never leaves them even when it gets hard.
Roy Clark was 84 at the time of this taping and passed months later, hard to believe considering how good he looks during this taping. legend, he's greatly missed. a part of my childhood growing up, watching him on TV burn up the guitar and banjo necks of many instruments
Am in Tennessee & Roy Clark is the best.Saw him live many years ago & he was indeed a trip; played in all kinds of waysand showed us how much he could do whatever tricks onstage the best rockers could !GOD bless Roy Clark!
Roy Clark was as good then as he was in the beginning of his performances on Hee- Haw. That show he did with so many regulars and stars was a real work of both talent and hard work of which he was good at both! Even afterwards when he was in Branson, Missouri, he kept it alive and entertained many people from all over! Roy Clark had it together! He hasn't let up, and I doubt if he ever will. There ain't a doubt that he will be picking and grinning in Heaven whenever the time comes for him to leave us, if that hasn't already taken place.
I have very fond memories of watching Hee Haw with my favorite Uncle WJ, up in NE Mississippi. I'd sit on the fireplace hearth and we'd watch it together, so I always love seeing the folks, like Roy Clark, Buck Owens, Junior Samples, Minnie Pearl and everyone else. Sah-LUTE! lol!
RIP Roy Clark... prayers for your family may they have peace and comfort. What a great talent.. I remember watching Hee Haw at my grand parents house for years. Good memories.
Wow! That's so sweet of you to have said about "Roy", Cheryl🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Well thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
I grew up and knew Roy personally. He was a pilot and flew out of the airport we ran. He lived 3 miles down the road in Davidsonville Maryland. He loved his Harley. Him and Charlie Byrd played many a gig in Annapolis. A great guy and a local boy that done well.
Wow! That's so sweet of you to have said about "Roy", my Dear🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Well thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏.

My old man was a country boy so every Saturday night we HAD to watch "Hee Haw" and all the other country music shows. My biggest memories was the guy doing the Corn Cobb County "News", Roy & Buck doing "Picking & Grinning" and last but surely not least, BARBIE BENTON. Man, she was a knockout. Couldn't sing a lick but who cared. She was stunning.
Often overlooked but Roy Clark is a master of nearly all stringed instruments (Guitar, Banjo, Fiddle) and simply deserves more recognition
Winning prizes since he was a teen

Roy Clark. One of the best guitarists in the world, ever.
Terry Obrien it’s more then a guitar...every string instrument!
Always a legend!
Rip Roy he will be missed
True legend of country
When Jimmy Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen were asked “What is it like to be the world’s greatest guitarist”, they both gave the same answer, go ask Roy Clark.
Roy Clark could play a pair of tennis shoes or any other thing with strings. A more talented musician I ve never seen. What a blessing he was to all.
Go find his guest spot on the TV show "The Odd Couple." He had the talent.
And he was the ultimate entertainer. He brought good singing, astounding musicianship and comedy to every show. I saw him in person 3 times. He could have stood on a stage and entertained a crowd by himself with no back up for 2 hours, I’m sure.
Right up there with Joe Maphis
I saw him play some fishin' line I pulled in from Grand Lake OK!
He was an octoroon though he didn't admit it.
Roy Clark was one of the first people to ever “shred” a guitar. He was mind blowing and all the Metal heads out there that love blistering technicians, take heed of this guy, who brought speed, feel and fun into everything he did.
Probably the BEST guitar players EVER!
Amen
ANNND .. Roy did it completely clean .. meaning, no distortion, no fuzz tones, no overdrives, no funny little tricks, no funny little Effects Pedals .. there's a saying in the music business that goes "if you want to separate the men from the boys take a recording straight off the mixing console LIVE, and that'll tell you if there's real talent and/or ability" .. and who is just a pretender ✌️

This was only one year before he passed away? What a life he had bringing amazing music and happiness to people until the last minute... RIP Roy!
This was filmed in 2011. He lived 7 years after this was recorded.
He died a year after it was uploaded... Actually recorded in 2011.
The utter respect and gentle way Buck treated Roy shatters my heart! This was beautiful!!!

Watching his old tired hands fumble brought a tear to my eye. A reminder that age catches up with us all, but he laughed at it and kept on playing. RIP
My dad was Roys manager at the time of his death in 95. Roy gave me my first guitar back in 1966. He was a genuinely nice guy.

stumbled across this by chance .... thank god
Three legends right there. Today's "musicians" cannot hold a candle to those that came before.
We have no musicians today.
Depends on your definition of ‘today.’
While i appreciate the ‘dueling banjos,’ i prefer Sir Paul McCartney.
I was born March 25 1959 I have been blessed growing up to the best musicians that ever lived ,My God what memories I have growing up ,I thank my God for all and everything.
Can't help but smile while watching this. As Archie and Edith used to say, " those were the days." Glad I lived them.
Back when entertainers actually had talent and class. Those days are long gone
You’re not familiar with Mark Knopfler? You should be!
Roy said he had not played a Banjo in 5 years.. Some one commented this was 1 year before he passed away ..
I'm 39 and just found out what astounding musicians these people are, I'm absolutely blown away!
Rest In Peace Roy. Thank you for entertaining us!

Wow! That's so sweet of you to have said about "Roy", Patricia🤠, didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Well thank you so much for being such an amazing fan of my music🙏. I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
Hello Patricia how are you doing!!
I grew up “having” to watch this country music show. I didn’t mind it too much. I enjoyed it more often than not. And this reunion is just mesmerizing. Thanks to all ya all.
I was a kid who grew up watching this show. Roy, Buck, Minnie & Grandpa, Junior, Lulu...and, of course, all those buxom beauties! A fun show.
Such a Beautiful memory to be relived....God Bless and thanks for the music Roy Clark.
Just the amount of fun he still has playing after all these years makes every moment of this video amazing. Roy clark was my grandpas idol and my grandpa was mine.
I'm a banjoist who always loved the pickin' sessions on Hee Haw. I owned Roy & Buck's album "A Pair of Fives" and loved listening to them play. It's sad to see Roy in decline here, but Buck could still play fortunately. Glad they did one final performance together like this. RIP Roy.
It was good to see Roy one last time, obviously Trent covered mostly for him. But regardless, I priceless moment of a great living legend who is no more with us.
I saw Roy in Branson years ago. He was an amazing showman and musician. One segment everyone in his band pulled out fiddles (not violins) and went to town. Amazing musician and from what I hear, an amazing human being. RIP Mr. Clark
Hee Haw........ Now THERE'S a show I haven't seen in FOREVER!!!!!!!! Childhood relived!!!!!!
Thank you for those wonderful memories. Just wow
God bless Roy Clark. The world needs more men to be humble as him. What a great talent he was but never once hear him brag on himself. R.I.P. my friend.
Boy, seeing all those faces sure brought back some great memories. We don’t get to see such talent in the same room very often. Rest In Peace Roy.
the old guys still have it
He was one of the greatest. I remember seeing him in person when I was a teen and he was wonderful. He plays for the Lord and his angels now but oh how I enjoyed him while he was here. Still love his work. None like him. He was a rare talent indeed.
Roy Clark is one of the most talented musicians of the 20th century. He should be mentioned more with the greats
i never appreciated roy clark in the 70s as i was just a young boy. now, seeing him play and his talent, he was a legend for sure. that guy had just an amazing gift for playing guitars and banjos and pretty much anything musical.
50 yrs old Utah,Navajo Native American who's love's Roy's playing on hee-haw🐴never in my mind did i see or hear a better musician than Sir Roy Clark. Heard him play and perform at our County Fair & Rodeos 🐎 .During the 70s and the 80s he is still my favorite icon Country Performer Ever.☆.Rest in peace my friend ur loved 💖 by all in this great country of owers 🙏amen🐣🐥🐤
Oh my.....what a breath of fresh air to see all the smiling faces of all the friends from the show......R.I.P. To those that weren't there.....
It was truly amazing how many instruments Roy played so fluently. Guitar, Banjo, Violin and many others. Great entertainer. All of them on Hee Haw. One final time with Buck Trent. Thank you for sharing this.
"Hee Haw" was an anomaly: Me and my family were not particularly fond of country music and this blue grass stuff even less so... Yet, we never missed an episode when it was on! Somehow the formula made it possible for even us to enjoy it, which I do to this day. I can still hear them singing, "Where, O' where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? Well I searched the world over and thought I'd found true love. You met another and you were gone!"
Omg...I'm laughing in my teenage mind, my family and I would sing along with it..
@Doug Hutton That too.
One of the greatest things one can say about another human is, he or she brought me so much pleasure and Roy Clark did just that. He crossed every boundary and social line. I loved his gifts and always will.
My dad really enjoyed his playing. I was too young to really appreciate what kind of talent he had until just the last couple years. He's definitely in heaven playing a golden banjo .
One of the greatest guitar players that ever graced a stage!
When I see the familiar faces in this clip, that have aged so much, I am reminded of how old I have become! Still there is talent here that has yet to be equaled.
My banjo pickin brother made me love the dueling banjos! He was in a band called Jango in the 70s in the San Jose area. But he dueled it out with Annie a violinist/fiddled. The wooden floors of Mountain Charlie's were nearly stomped on down to the hill. Man! Thanks for allowing reminisce.
I am 37 years old.But I would like to be in this studio and enjoy this amazing atmosphere and music.
Heck, Roy Clark not only one of the greatest guitarists to ever walk the earth, he was one of the best musicians ever
For just a few minutes you see Roy's age melt away, and we see the youth...that has never left him and will be given back when he's called home... @Mike Yerke, I hear ya Hee Haw was so formitive in my first 10 years...
Can I get an Amen?!?
I miss this, gave me relief from my parents all to frequent battles
@@lloydwalters4252 I know exactly what you mean by " the parents all too frequent battles ".
Amazing how age can make a person struggle to finish a sentence but yet you give that person something they've known and loved their whole life and it's like they haven't aged a day.
@@shadowjack8 o
Buck Trent was a great talent. Natural entertainer. Roy , Trent and Bobby were the best Banjo players that ever lived. Roy could pick up any string instrument and create a masterpiece.
Oh what a treat to see the See Haw clan together again, and the Dueling Banjos was so refreshing to hear again, Thank You Roy Clark & Buck, simply amazing!!
That's so sweet of you to say Dennis🤠, I actually didn't expect to get such a beautiful comment from you. Thanks so much for being such a huge fan of my music🎵. Well I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
I'll never forget Roy Clark. I grew up on music roll. I watched Roy drive his motorcycle through the window of RCA recording studio. Loved to play county music, being a Flatt I learned to play guitar with Chet Atkins, the Stoneman family, and of course my family. I'll remember that for evermore. Keep pick'en & a Grin'en.
To see how happy Clark is makes this so much better
Roy Clark. What a great Fella. Thanks for the upload. Love listening To Roy
My Dad loved Roy Clark. He had all his “How to play Guitar” books. One of the best to ever play a stringed instrument! RIP
Honestly, this video is adorable. The genuine love this folks have for each other is so obvious. The joy in Roy's face playing this is just astounding. When people live for music it never leaves them even when it gets hard.
Roy Clark was 84 at the time of this taping and passed months later, hard to believe considering how good he looks during this taping. legend, he's greatly missed. a part of my childhood growing up, watching him on TV burn up the guitar and banjo necks of many instruments
This was taped in 2011. We lost Roy many years later.
just seeing these faces brings tears to my eyes. The memories I have about my life back back then are awesome. This is fantastic.
What a multi-talented and really nice man, R.I.P. Roy Clark.
Am in Tennessee & Roy Clark is the best.Saw him live many years ago & he was indeed a trip; played in all kinds of waysand showed us how much he could do whatever tricks onstage the best rockers could !GOD bless Roy Clark!
Hello, how are you doing?
Roy Clark was as good then as he was in the beginning of his performances on Hee- Haw. That show he did with so many regulars and stars was a real work of both talent and hard work of which he was good at both! Even afterwards when he was in Branson, Missouri, he kept it alive and entertained many people from all over! Roy Clark had it together! He hasn't let up, and I doubt if he ever will. There ain't a doubt that he will be picking and grinning in Heaven whenever the time comes for him to leave us, if that hasn't already taken place.
David he's still doing shows, he was in my nearby town in May.
I have very fond memories of watching Hee Haw with my favorite Uncle WJ, up in NE Mississippi. I'd sit on the fireplace hearth and we'd watch it together, so I always love seeing the folks, like Roy Clark, Buck Owens, Junior Samples, Minnie Pearl and everyone else. Sah-LUTE! lol!
Roy was a legend.. he could play anything with strings... he was the all time master. RIP
I am so
RIP to Roy, Buck and all of those from HeeHaw no longer with us.
RIP Roy Clark... prayers for your family may they have peace and comfort. What a great talent.. I remember watching Hee Haw at my grand parents house for years. Good memories.

Hello Cheryl how are you doing!!
My jaw aches from smiling. Cheers from New Zealand...
Brought back a lot fun memories with my family as a kid...Roy will be missed...
I am a big city boy, but I used to love hearing Roy Clark as a child, and enjoyed Hee Haw for many years, as a child.
Love from Paris, we all cry for this loss, Roy was a universal star .....
I grew up and knew Roy personally. He was a pilot and flew out of the airport we ran. He lived 3 miles down the road in Davidsonville Maryland. He loved his Harley. Him and Charlie Byrd played many a gig in Annapolis. A great guy and a local boy that done well.
Roy Clark one of the greatest Country entertainers of all time. I miss him just knowing he is no longer with us. Thank you Roy Clark. RIP

I hope you never stop being a fan and also stop listening to my songs🎶. Could you kindly tell me how long you've been a fan of my music???
My old man was a country boy so every Saturday night we HAD to watch "Hee Haw" and all the other country music shows. My biggest memories was the guy doing the Corn Cobb County "News", Roy & Buck doing "Picking & Grinning" and last but surely not least, BARBIE BENTON. Man, she was a knockout. Couldn't sing a lick but who cared. She was stunning.
One of the most underated banjo/guitarists ever!!! Sooooo good!!!!!!!
I'm 32 years old, I'm from Brazil and it's now that I'm meeting this great singer and musician, I'm thrilled and passionate ...
Extremely talented musicians. There are a few living today that could touch this talent and likely never again.
Hee Haw was the TV show I watched the most when I was younger brings back memories oh Roy Clark
