Oh, and NO I was not a Humperdinker! You have known me long enough, what over 40 years and counting, to know that LOL
I get the fact that the Grateful Dead sang El Paso in 1977, not in the 60’s but here is a video of them singing the song
Hey Jules,
Wow, that’s incredible! Honestly I have never heard “The Dead” perform “El Paso” till now! Thank You! Thru the years I’ve admired The Grateful Dead for a number of reasons, not the least of which is, when other bands would catch an audience member secretly recording one of their live shows, the tape would be confiscated and the guilty audience member was thrown out! But not with The Grateful Dead, No! They openly encouraged fans to tape their shows! Including roping off specific areas in front of the stage specifically for “Tapers” as they called them!…”God Bless The Grateful Dead”
Thanx Jules!

Hey Ed,

Hey Randy,
First, I’d like to welcome you to Sixties Music Secrets! You nailed this weeks question and missed being the first one in by a mere Six Minutes! Way to go Randy, and we look forward to you joining in the on going commentary!
Don’t be a stranger
Thanx!

El Paso
The Grateful Dead
Marty Robbins wrote the song
Other hits from Marty Robbins are “Streets of Loredo” and “Devil Woman”
Hey Jules…First in! Once again! However you threw us with “The Grateful Dead” I don’t recall those guys covering El Paso back in the Sixties! If you read our question we did say “Who Originally recorded “El Paso” which as I’m sure you know was Marty Robbins! But, we’re gonna guess you are a “Dead Head” and you may have one of the Thousands of live recordings the Dead is known for! So fess up, You’re a Dead Head…RIGHT?….All these years, I never knew! What else are you hiding? Are you a “Humperdincker” as well? ( Humperdincker’s is what Engelbert called his female fans)
Always love your input!
Rick
