Some notable recordings by Marty Robbins include “Singing the Blues” (1956), Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs (1959), “El Paso” (1959), and “Big Iron” (1959). “El Paso” became Robbins’s signature song. When asked in 1982 how many times he had sung the song, Robbins replied, “Tell me how many personal appearances I’ve made since 1959, and then I will know.”
