Never heard of Roy Clark before I came across this in a charity shop, turns out he was a huge star in USA through the 60's and into the 90's, primarily a Country and Western performer and multi-instrumentalist, he also acted and was a comedian. He won quite a number of awards from Country Music Association (CMA) and others, he is recognised as having a huge influence on C&W music and popularising it. This record is a mix of him performing popular songs and doing so rather well, he only put 38 album and quite a few singles, many of both made the charts.
Roy Clark – Entertainer
Label: Ember Records – NR 5077
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Compilation, Stereo
Country: UK
Released: 1974

Cracking thread this. I think I have owned 90% of the aged Rock discs you guys are picking up.
If you ever go to London, have a pint in the Salisbury Pub in St. Martin's Lane before you catch the Train home. An homage.

The Stones used to drink there. Picture of Marianne Faithfull on the wall, looking wasted but lovely.
I surprised myself today. Picked up "My Fair Lady" the musical for a pound.
Kiri Te Kanawa and, of all people, Jeremy Irons. Oh Lor, Julie Andrews meets Brideshead Revisited. Can't wait! :lol:
My dear old mum's favourite record was "I could have danced all night". So I expect I'll be blubbing by the end.

How did "My Fair Lady" (A London Musical) on Decca turn out?
Bloody Rubbish, IMO. :lol:
Kiri Te, who is a good singer was severely miscast as the Cockney Flower-seller, she failed to convince me she was born within a mile of Bow Bells.
Jeremy Irons hardly attempted to sing. Surprise star of the Show was Warren Mitchell. A proper Cockney.
John Gielgud got a fairly minor and unconvincing Role.
The LSO turned in a decent performance.
Give me Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews any day.
