Biography

American country singer and songwriter, successful as a recording artist, stage performer, actor, author, songwriter, and stock car racer. Robbins was born 26 September 1925 in Glendale, Arizona, USA and died 8 December 1982 in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Born into poverty with his twin sister Mamie, he quit school in his teens and served in the United States Navy during 1943–1945. Robbins’ career started in 1947, and he soon had his own radio and television shows on KPHO in Phoenix. His big break came in 1951 when [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Jimmy_Dickens]Jimmy Dickens[/url] guested on his TV show. Dickens was so impressed that he encouraged his record company, Columbia, to give Robbins a contract. In 1953 Robbins joined the Grand Ole Opry and moved to Nashville, and in 1965 he started performing on the last segment of the Opry so he could race stock car at the Nashville Speedway. Among the more successful crossover artists during the 1950s and 1960s, Robbins was able to handle a wide variety of musical styles with his versatile baritone. He recorded country, western, rockabilly, Hawaiian music, gospel, and his specialty, which was pop ballads. Over the course of his career, Robbins had a total of 94 charting records, with 16 going to the #1 position. On October 11, 1982, Robbins was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, just seven weeks before he suffered a heart attack, on December 2. He died six days later at the age of 57. His children include country singer [a2118004].

LYRICS

Well, I never felt more like singin' the blues'Cause I never thought that I'd ever loseYour love dear, why'd you do me this wayWell, I never felt more like cryin' all night'Cause everything's wrong, there ain't nothin' rightWith-out you, you got me singin' the blues.Now the moon and stars no longer shineThe dream is gone I thought was mineThere's nothin' left for me to doBut cry-y-y over you Well, I never felt more like runnin' awayBut how can I go when I couldn't stayWith-out you, you got me singin' the blues.Well the moon and stars no longer shineAnd the dream is gone that I thought was mineThere's nothin' left for me to doBut cry-y-y over youWell, I never felt more like runnin' awayBut how can I go when I couldn't stayWithout you, you got me singin' the blues.Without you, you got me singin' the blues
