Talk:Roy Clark

message: Does Roy have a particular melody or song that could be considered his signature tune? I'm thinking specifically of Malagueña  , but there may be another. — Loadmaster (talk) 02:24, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say Thank God and Greyhound.  I looked at chart toppers, his only Country number 1 is Come Live with Me.  I checked bios and fan sites and there does not seem to be a signature song.Tomsv 98 (talk) 19:20, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I once read (I think on Wikipedia) that Roy Clark gave HUGE amounts of his income to children's hospitals. I have no citations, but if it IS true, it would be nice to see him recognized. I am pretty sure it was once in this article (maybe three years ago). If anyone knows or has a citation, can you contribute? I am very curious about this VERY talented man. Thanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.246.235.134 (talk) 04:18, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

message: I think any of Roy Clark's fans will agree that he's talented.  The article says he can play "several" instruments.  Does anyone know just how many and which ones?  I know he plays the guitar, banjo, and fiddle, and I've also seen him play the harmonica and the piano.  Are there any others?67.45.97.21 (talk) 22:24, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

message: This article gives undue weight to Clark's radio and TV career. While needed, his musical career is far more important. Can't anyone improve that section? A casual reader would conclude that Clark is known for his 1950s radio and TV appearances, rather than his music or Hee Haw. - Tim1965 (talk) 17:59, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I might point out that using Hee Haw as example of his musical career is a mixed one. It does demonstrate his prowess on the banjo as he played it for 24 years on Hee Haw. However, Hee Haw was a TV show. So it's really an example of both items you are contrasting. I find that IMDB is pretty full of television credits. But here's an article that mentions other work that was outside of television if anyone is interested. . dawnleelynn(talk) 18:31, 28 November 2018 (UTC)

text: I threw in Hee Haw as an example of a major part of Clark's career that isn't really covered in the article, either. Why was he sought out as co-host? Why did he choose to do it? What was his attitude toward the show, and did it change over time? Was he ever nominated for any awards for appearing on the show? How did the show affect his fame? There may even be links between his music career and the program: Did it interrupt his touring or musical output? Did critics find his music suffered or improved or had no change while he was on the show? Did he give any particularly outstanding performances on the series? All that said, I still find next to nothing about his musical career, output, critical assessment, etc., in the article, and what's there remains largely uncited. - Tim1965 (talk) 13:45, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
