RIP Roy Clark 1933-2018

Nooo...my dad grew up in WV, so we were forced to watch Hee Haw as kids. Pickin' and Grinnin' was my favorite part. RIP Roy 😢

My parents watched that show. So I watched that show. He was about the only thing I liked about it.

Oh ,I hate to hear that.Great performer and singer...

😭

I thought he died 20 yrs ago. But rip again.

EyeGloArts I did his sound for a couple of shows in the 70s

KNX1070 We miss you already. Rest well, good friend.

kevincorke He was a phenomenal banjo picker. I can’t recall anyone as proficient at it. He was amazing to watch because he was just so darn great. May he Rest In Peace and join with glee those making a joyful noise.

😢

Now, I’m sad.

RIP..Use to watch Hee Haw with my aunt as a kid. I thought it was hilarious.

Amazing talent. I still have his album(in the original jacket) Superpicker from the 1970s! Features his hit Riders in the Sky. Think I'll go put it on the old Turntable and bring back a few good memories.

I remember watching him on TV when I was a kid. That dude could play.

The great Roy Clark! Music, film, TV-a welcome guest in every American home.

My memories of Roy Clark are spending the night at my grandmothers watching HeeHaw. Thanks for the memories sir.

Not a country fan, but Mr. Roy Clark was always a favorite of mine. An irreplaceable talent and seemed to be a genuinely nice guy. Another American treasure lost this year.

Sad news. I met him once, remember that yuk laughter. A good entertainer.

Rip ...one great guitarist!!

ohuhbubb 😔

JimKFGO Nooooooo! RIP Roy Clark!

“where where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I found true love, you met another and pffft you are gone!”🎼

I liked 'Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone.'

R.I.P Roy Clark. You and your talent will be missed

Wow ,, very sad,,, sure do love that Country-and-Western music !!

He’s was a pickin and the other was a grinnin

Saw him in concert many years. So very talented! May he rest in peace.

One of Roy's best, covered by another one of the best...

Awww.

Many don’t know this but Roy was an avid drag racer. Here is a cool pic of one of his cars. He was the kind of guy you never heard a bad word from or about.

He was so much more than Hee Haw. He was a classical genius. What an amazing musician and kind human.

KNX1070 You are missed and mourned, good friend. Rest well.

Rest In Peace..

One of the best banjo players ever!

Rip have great memories of watching him n all the group on HeeHaw ending of a great era
