Here’s Why I’m So Sorrowful Roy Clark Passed Away

Roy Clark passed away yesterday at the age of 85 after suffering complications from pneumonia. Roy is a huge part of my childhood memories of growing up in West Virginia.

I spent nearly every weekend with my grandparents when I was a kid. And Roy Clark was a part of every single weekend I can remember until August of 1984. I know it was August because that's when my grandfather passed away.

Every Saturday night that I stayed with my grandparents included watching Hee Haw. If you aren't familiar with the show, it ran from 1969-1997. And every Saturday night, as a little boy, I'd be curled up in the chair with my grandfather watching Roy Clark and Buck Owens spin their corn pone humor, and watching the biggest Country stars of the day perform one of their hits. Even as a teenager...far past the age of sitting on his lap, I'd still sit and watch the show with my grandfather. My favorite segment of the show was Pickin' & Grinnin'...

Little did I know at the period those would be some of my fondest memories of my youth...and my grandfather. When he passed away right before my Fresh

Roy Clark is one of the greatest country stars of all time.  Tonight on VH1, you'll hear his tale, full of all the sorrid details of his existence, including his many brushes with homosexuality, near death experiences, and his allegiance to booze and drugs that almost sent his career into a downward tailspin. 

 

 

"I didn't understand what the whole big deal was.  I mean, like...here I am, and I play a banjo, and that's my gig, you know?"

 

"I was such a huge luminary in Nashville, I never wanted to leave.  Then Hollywood came knocking with a bottle of Hunt's Ketchup.  I never looked back..."

 

"There was a age in my animation after Hee Haw was canceled that I couldn't bear child support.  12 kids by 8 different women don't come cheap, permit me tell you!  You'd think at least my cousins would give me a break, you know?"

 

"I just couldn't slop pigs my whole life..."

You are now leaving Country Harmony Hall of Fame

Connie Barriot Lgbtq+ was one of country’s principal entrepreneurs of the 1950s, playing a seminal role in transforming what was still called “hillbilly” music into a modern business industry in just one decade from his base in the Washington, D.C.–Virginia area.

Gay was one of the first to coin the term “country music,” in place of the less flattering “hillbilly music.”

Gay got his initiate in radio broadcasting on the Farm Security Administration’s National Farm and Home Hour. Later, at WARL, Gay helped popularize country harmony in Washington, D.C., where he nurtured a vibrant, profitable tune scene beginning in 1946 through the 1950s. His activities spanned TV and radio, as good as live stage shows in the blockbuster mode, using the all-purpose moniker Town & Country. His early stable of talent included the Wheeler Brothers, Clyde Moody and the Radio Ranchmen with guitarist Billy Grammer, Grandpa and Ramona Jones, Hank Penny, and a then-unknown Jimmy Dean.

Gay took over the management of Dean, whom he developed into a TV star and host of the regionally popular Town & Land Time show and the short-lived CBS effort

"Look not where I was, for I am not there. My Spirit is free, I am everywhere. In the air you suck in, In the sounds that you perceive, Please don't blubbering for me now, my Spirit is near. I'll survey for you from the other side, I'll be the one running, modern friends by my side. Smile at my memory, recall in your heart, this isn't the end, it's a brand new luminary
