As one of the most influential people that's ever played American music. Ladies and gentlemen, he started his career at Sun Records. 706 Union Avenue, Memphis, Tennessee. In 1956, Handsome, Harry. He produced Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis. He gave us 'Great Balls of Fire', 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'. He wrote 'Guess Things Happen That Way'.

Eddie promoted the two DVD set of highlights from the first season of The Marty Stuart Show. After a commercial break, Marty said, "Superlatives, big Hall of Fame Cowboy Jack Clement right there. On the hay bale. Fine job, Cowboy. Walked in to Frank Tank's Discount Store in Philadelphia, Mississippi one time and bought a 78 rpm record of Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. Had a mandolin on it. And I loved the mandolin. And I'm fillin' in for Connie Smith today. Not as pretty as she is but she can't play the mandolin like this either. But I can sing just like her if I want to. But I don't want to. Here it is, Mississippi Mud Cat special comin' down from Oxford, Mississippi like this." Marty played "Mandolin Rip."
Marty said, "Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Cowboy Jack Clement has given us some of the greatest songs of all time. And, today, my favorite Cowboy Jack Clement song is this one right here. 'Let's All Help The Cowboys Sing The Blues'. How 'bout a hand for ole Cowboy over there. All right, Cowboy."

Got some business to take care of, well you know Cowboy." Marty: "Leroy." Leroy: "What." Marty: "The phone rang back there. You'll never guess who it was." Leroy: "Who?" Marty: "Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Miss Wanda Jackson." Leroy: "Oh yeah?" Marty: "Ya'll know Miss Wanda Jackson?" Leroy: "Really." Marty: "She wanted us to dedicate her a song today. You got anything you can do for Miss Wanda Jackson?" Leroy: "'Bout the only thing I know is that 'Wanda'. I've done it before but we can do it again." Marty: "Do it again." Leroy: "All right." Marty: "For Miss Wanda Jackson out there in Oklahoma. Here we go." Leroy: "Here we go."
Eddie said, "Great job there, Leroy Troy and 'Wanda'. The way you were hollerin' at Wanda over there, I thought you might be gonna hurt yourself here for a moment. Goodness. Well, we'd like to settle down and get serious with you right now. We always like to include a song of faith and inspiration on every show. We've got the Apostle Paul Martin lined up here to lead the quartet this week and 'Keep On The Firing Line'."

Thanks for having me." Marty continued, "What about ole Eddie Stubbs. He's all right, too, don't ya think?." Cowboy Jack said, "He's the greatest." Marty said, "He is the greatest." Cowboy Jack said, "Absolutely." Marty continued, "And I tell ya one of the greatest songs in the world is a song you wrote called 'A Girl I Used To Know'. About a girl you used to know." Cowboy Jack said, "I think I remember that one." Marty said, "Shall we do it?" Cowboy Jack said, "Yeah, why not." Marty said, "By popular demand. Here's Cowboy."
