Roger Miller was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on January 2nd 1936. He was so desperate to write songs, he stole a guitar at age 17. To avoid jail, he enlisted in the army. He later explained, "My education was Korea, Clash of '52." He wrote hits for George Jones, Jim Reeves, Ray Price and others, before having any of his own.

Roger was a born entertainer, great singer/songwriter showman, left us way too soon.

Roger Miller was a "wonder child" of country music! He never ceased to amaze me --- particularly when, during a song, he tossed off those rhythmic babbling syllables, flawlessly, at the speed of a freight train! Also, growing up in 1950's and 1960's, I loved the Porter Waggoner Show; looked forward to it every Saturday afternoon. Porter's sequined polyester leisure suits were his trademark. Dolly Partin got her start on that show when she replaced "Pretty Miss Norma Jean".

I also loved the in-house commercials for Porter Wagoner's sponsors (sung by Porter, the gang, and the WagonMasters: Soltice Quick Rub Black Draught Laxative Syrup of Black Draught Cough Remedy "Ohhh! Black Draught cleans you from the inside out!--------" (for a laxative, it can't be stated in plainer terms!)

Pretty Miss Norma Jean played guitar and sang the song "Paper Roses" better than anyone else (in my personal opinion).

I thought he was well known, a natural star hearing his songs when I heard them. It's truly sad to know that outside of small circles his name isn't that well known. Wonderful singer, Talented musician, composer, comedian, god bless Roger Miller!

Would strongly disagree with you there, Roger was widely known throughout the world, as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time.

My favorite part about this song is that he wrote it on Faron Youngs tour bus, in the middle of the night. He woke faron up to play it for him, and faron said it was the most annoying f***ing song he'd ever heard to go back to bed😂

That’s not surprising considering he was well known as a pretty miserable SOB.

@tannertaylor9432 Thanks for the laugh! Well, to his friends, Roger Miller was a notorious, hyper maniac. I recall someone saying that about him on The Tonight Show to Johnny Carson during the early-to-mid '70s.

Roger’s wife, Mary Arnold, who was a band member of Kenny Rogers and the First Edition, is from my hometown of Audubon, Iowa. I was working in the deli at one of our local grocery stores during high school. The Miller family was there to celebrate Christmas with her mother. I saw Roger in the grocery store, knew immediately who he was when I saw him, but chose not to bother him. I sometimes wish that I would have at least spoken to him. This was in about in 1976 or 1977.

I prolly do the same but I don't think it would have bothered him one little bit. Nice fellow and a talker too!

Porter was a “Regional star” and never really hit the bigs but Letterman put him on the big CBS show toward the end of the run to give him a nod for still being a country legend and surviving the business once Dolly and Stardom faded
