Marty Robbins
Upon his discharge from the Navy, Marty found several jobs and began playing guitar on the side for a local band. His own professional career began in 1947, where he was hired to play and sing at radio station KTYL in Mesa, Arizona. It wasn't long before he attracted his own following.
With his increasing popularity, Marty got a job at a bigger station, KPHO in Phoenix,
where he was given an early morning half hour long show called, "Chuck Wagon
Time". When KPHO-TV was created, they asked Marty to do some live performances for
them. Marty, who was extremely shy, agreed to host their show only after he was told he
would lose his radio show if he refused. Only a fifteen minute show shown four days a
week, with Marty, "Country Caravan" was a big hit locally.
