- Thread starter the nail at the foul line

RIP...thanks for saving that fat kid
I could never tell which one was Roy and which one was Clark.
Not even NOMINATED for an Oscar! AND delivered one of the most famous lines in movie history...
Really...thought he was already dead?

Just a helluva musician. No more dirty women.
R.I.P., big guy.

Rest well my pickin and grinnin Chocolatier.......
Rest well my slugger. He had the sweetest swing in the big leagues. He was just a natural....
Finally asked the wrong one "how big a boy are ya?"
the hours around tv in the sixties and seventies - thanks Roy! Sa-lute!!
Damn politicians.
R.I.P., you nasty SOB.

"Yesterday when I was young" was Roy's biggest hit; his only Top 40 hit.
It was originally a French song, "Hier encore" written by Charles Aznavour.
Mickey Mantle asked Roy to perform it at his funeral.
According to wikipedia:
"The English-language lyrics, written by Herbert Kretzmer, tell of a man reflecting on his life. He recounts how he had wasted his youth on self-centered pursuits, and that, now that he is older, he will not be able to do all that he had planned; this implies that he may be close to his impending death."
Warning: This is a tear jerker.

Not sure why exactly, but Roy Clark has always held a special place in my fandom...his “I Never Picked Cotton” and “Thank God and Greyhound She’s Gone” are songs I don’t hear often, but it’s a treat when they come on my playlist. He and Buck are pickin’ and grinnin’ again! As an aside, Roy was a pro boxer in his earlier life
OK, Louis.I could never tell which one was Roy and which one was Clark.
Yep. Here's looking at you, kid.Not even NOMINATED for an Oscar! AND delivered one of the most famous lines in movie history...

He taught me how to play guitar......well sorta.... My parents bought me his guitar book and guitar thing for Christmas one year..... It had stickers that went on the neck to help ya find chords and notes.... It actually worked. RIP
I play carts with J.D. Shellnut.....Chief of police....so I can play whenever I want.
Rest well my slugger. He had the sweetest swing in the big leagues. He was just a natural....
He lit it up.
I think he did too. This might just be a money grab by the surviving family.
