Eddie Stubbs started the show by
introducing the guests. "From Nashville, Tennessee,
the country music capital of the world and home of the
air castle of the south, it is time for The Marty
Stuart Show featuring Marty Stuart, the Rolls Royce of
country singers Miss Connie Smith, the ole Tennessee
Slicker Leroy Troy, along with all the Fabulous
Superlatives: Cousin Kenny Vaughan, Handsome Harry
Stinson, the Apostle Paul Martin, plus Gary Carter on
the steel guitar. And today's special guests, Charley
Pride, along with Pig Robbins and Fred Newell. Join us
now for 30 minutes of fun and great country music. I'm
Eddie Stubbs. Now, how 'bout a Superlative welcome for
our host. Here is Marty Stuart." Marty said, "Keep her
off your mind, boy." Marty and His Fabulous
Superlatives performed "Keep Her Off Your Mind." 
Marty said, "That's Miss Connie
Smith." Connie said, "Thank you." Marty continued,
"That's Connie Smith and this is Mr. Charley Pride."
Marty walked over to Charley. "Thank you for comin'
Mr. Pride." Charley said, "Thank you. Thank you very
much." Marty said, "How 'bout a hand for Miss Janelle
over here in the pretty coat. Yeah, Janelle. Thank you
for bein' here." Janelle said, "Thank you for having
me" Marty said, "Hadn't been many seasons that we've
done this show that I haven't asked you to come and
you've come every time. Thank you so much. And this particular
set of this show, we've added very little to it since
we started. But we added one little feature today.
Miss Janelle will show us now. How 'bout it. Forever
more, if it's all right with you, we'd like for the
name Charley Pride to be on our show. Sparkle like a
diamond." Charley said, "Thank you. Thank you." Marty
continued, "Did we spell it right?" Charley said, "Yeah."
Marty said, "All right. The first time that I ever
heard your voice ..." Charley said, "Yeah." 
Marty
continued, " .... was in Mississippi when I was a kid
growin' up. There was a disc jockey in Forest,
Mississippi named Marty Collins." Charley said,
"Yeah." Marty continued, "Who loved country music. And
we had this big ole stereo in our livin' room and I
heard 'All I Have To Offer You Is Me'. That was the
first record I heard of you. It wasn't long after that
..." Charley said, "First number one." Marty
continued, "That's right. Then I heard 'Does My Ring
Hurt You Finger'. I found you after that. And the
thing that I remember about Marty Collins playin' your
song is after 'All I Have To Offer You Is Me', he was
cryin'. He said 'Ole Marty needs to hear that one
again. And he played it back to back two times. And I
stood there mesmerized by the sound of your voice. And
when I found out you were from Mississippi, it made me
so proud because you represented us with so much
dignity and class and integrity. And I thank you for
that. I think you're one of the greatest things. I
think you're one of the greatest men that ever
performed country music and sang country music."
Charley said, "Thank you so much." Marty said, "And so
you've been such an influence on me. So much so that I
completely stole one of your songs. And I wrote this
song a couple of years ago and singin' it in front of
you is kinda like singin' in front of the principal,
but I'd like for you to hear this song, all right?."
Charley said, "Okay." Marty continued, "Be easy on us.
How 'bout a hand for Mr. Pride, Miss Janelle, and The
Superlatives, and a brand new song. Count it off."
Marty and His Fabulous Superlatives performed "When It
Comes To Loving You."
After a commercial break, Marty
said, "Welcome back, everybody. Ladies and gentlemen.
Superlatives. Here he comes. The Sultan of
Goodlettsville, the ole Tennessee Slicker, how 'bout a
hand for Mr. Leroy Troy. Mr. Boswell. Mr. Stubbs, Mr.
Newell, Miss Smith, Mr. Pride." 
After a commercial break, Eddie
promoted Hilda Stuart's photo book, Choctaw
Gardens. Eddie said, "And once again, here's
Marty Stuart." Marty said, "And once again, thank you,
Eddie Stubbs. And I wanna thank Fred Newell and Pig
Robbins for comin' by. And Mr. Charley Pride. Thank
you so much for comin', Charley Pride." Charley said,
"Thank you. Thank you." Marty continued, "Would you
sing 'Just Between You And Me' for me?" Charley said,
"Yes." Marty said, "We'll dedicate this to Cowboy Jack
Clement. Mr. Carter, if you will."
