    And when you ask most people, Marty Robbins means "El Paso" and maybe "A
White Sport Coat". (Actually, if you really asked MOST PEOPLE, they'd say,
"Who?")

    "Zip A Dee Doo Dah" split its chart action over two years, so it wouldn't
show up high in year-end charts. And yes, "Don't Worry" peaked higher, but
nobody but country fans have heard it since. (I was conscious already in '61,
and I just had to go find a sample on the net. I'd never heard it, since I've
always hated Robbins's two biggies and have had no desire to investigate him
further...)
