You are so right. No one had more talent than Roger Miller. So many others greats then.

Music was so much better when people had talent.

I am58 years old I really enjoy listening to Roger Miller 😊

As a European, who loves England, there is one song I particularly like: "England swings like a pendulum"

Man these types of shows are so sorely missed. There was a time when to be an entertainer you had to be an immense talent. Roger Miller could sing in perfect pitch, was a stand-up comic, unbelievably quick witted, brilliant songwriter, virtuoso guitar picker, virtuoso fiddle player. He wrote 800 songs in his life. He was an entertainer in the purest sense of the word. One of the most under appreciated talents in music history, he is sorely missed.

And now-a-days if someone stands up on the stage of America's Got Talent and cries.. and says.. "I want to sing this for my grandmother who died of cancer".. They audience coos.. and claps.. And it all sounds exactly like the previous performer who's grandmother died of cancer.. Roger was an extremely gifted, true American original, and we will most likely not see the likes of this level of talent pass our way again.

Perfect pitch, especially after that modulation at the end, goes right on it!

I first became a fan of about 5 years old and I didn't know it. The Disney Robin Hood is it the best soundtrack of any Disney.

That's what brought me here...to learn a little more about the voice from the Robin Hood songs. Glad he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

The unbelievable song writing and singing talent of Roger Miller is unsurpassed, along with his quick-witted humor. Sadly missed.

Roger was a genius. Jimmy Dean was a very talented and "laid back" country star. Just about everybody loved Jimmy Dean.

Smoked his self to death

in those days, America was top dog, and Roger Miller was the artsi who made it all look logical and simple. And in recently freed Europe Roger Miller had lots of fans because he embodied the free world and our dreams that we were gonna go to america one day...And these loves last, my brother from the netherlands travelled to the pacific northwest 20 years ago , , rents a big Chevrolet Tahoo or similar and sends me over a video where they're driving thru Washington state with a Roger Miller tape playing. But everybody knew that this type of effortless United States is no longer there.

Roger Miller was a talented genius and a nut at the same time.

He was deeper than the insanity he feigned. His sad songs tugged at the heart and never let it go everafter.

❤ Unique..his sense of humour.

All 3 of my kids (29 oldest, 24 middle and 21 youngest) love Roger Miller songs and my 5 year old grandson is now loving the Funny Guy on the stereo.

I’m 56 now in 2021. Roger is one of the many legends I was lucky enough to have enjoyed while growing up. His music is the mirror to my childhood.....Miss you Roger and your depressive jazz songs!🤔😂

Roger Miller one of the greatest Country singers ever😊

Roger Miller was a great singer and played many instruments.

Fantastic also to see Jimmy Dean so amused - Jimmy was great too including the "fight" with Wally Cox

Danny Gatton was Roger Millers touring Guitar player.....Danny Gatton loved Roger Miller.

Roger was amazing

He was one of a kind! The great Roger Miller

Roger was a shining talent, ... and a very difficult and troubled person. but this often happens to genius who are always in the public eye.

An outright genius, but did he stray into to many fields? For all his successes he had many failures. . His indisciplined approach to music made it difficult to put him into any single caregory. Was that a blessing or a curse.?. Roger was indeed an enigma.

I started Dj work at 17 and Roger Miller albums were great value for money 💰

R. Miller was a great talent.

Jimmy and Roger, two fabulous entertainers.

I had many of his 45's. Roger was unique! Love his music!!

He is a better guitarist than I thought...didn't know he could play the Travis pick stuff.

God bless Rodger Miller Wherever You Are did songwriter make me laugh thank you very much a my heart.

Roger Miller And Jimmy Dean RIP.

There are many great singers out there, but he had a way with a song that would make you laugh and put a smile on your face EVERY TIME. There will NEVER be another like him. He had a unique talent that was IRREPLACEABLE.😅

He may have been a little bit drunk here but he was a genius! ! ,

!!!!!!! Love this guy !

Roger had quite a string of hits back then.

A hilarious gem 💎

Jaygatsby1: Jimmy Dean made Sausage as a side hustle. Glad that he was indeed a Perfectionist of intense concentration. Could've been disastrous otherwise!😂🎤🎸🎹🎻🎼❤🌹🐖B.W.

He wrote, In The Summer Time, and tries to get one of the country music stars to record it buy whoever it was, I think Jack Green or Porter Wagoner, thought it wasn't sellable. Andy Williams recorded it and it was a hit record for him.

Saw Rodger at the thames TV Studio London UK in 1972.

Notice how all the stars are watching Rodger's fingers.effortless is a sign of genius

...were the world was slim and happy. thank you for upload.

Two worlds , is my favourite that he wrote.

Just viewed, fun fun fun!

Oh - the good ole days.

Makes me miss my Dad.

This is so cool to hear today because it was new then!

These guys are loving heaven about now!

He was sooo funny! Loved him!
