The Singing River - Kenny Roberts
Best-known for his 1949 hit "I Never See Maggie Alone," Kenny Roberts was one of the last country singers to specialize in the legendary vocal technique of the blue yodel. Inspired by Yodeling Slim Clark, Jimmie Rodgers, and several singing cowboys, Roberts first came to prominence in the late '40s, and over the next five years he built up a fan base through his recording, frequent tours, and his appearance at yodeling concerts. Though he never had many hits -- he only charted four times, between 1949 and 1950 -- he nevertheless remained a popular concert attraction well into the '80s. Roberts was born in Lenoir City, TN, yet he was raised on a farm outside of Greenfield, MA. As a child, he became fascinated by the music of Clark and began singing as a teacher, making his first radio appearance when he was 15. Soon, he became part of the Down Homers, a local group who had a regular gig at WKNE, a New Hampshire radio station. Eventually, the group made their way toward the Midwest, playing at radio stations in Iowa and later settling in Fort Wayne, IN, where they regularly played a show called the Hoosier Hop. In a short time, Roberts had developed a reputation as a first-rate singer and yodeler. The Down Homers -- who also featured Bob Mason, Guy Campbell, Shorty Cook, and Lloyd Cornell -- cut a record released as a Vogue Picture Disc. When World War II arrived halfway through the '40s, Roberts decided to enlist in the US Navy in early 1945. Once the war was over, he <b>...</b>

Forgotten Artist: Kenny Roberts ~ King of the American Yodelers
Forgotten Artist: Kenny Roberts ~ King of the Yodelers Best-known for his hit, I Never See Maggie Alone, Kenny Roberts was one of the last country singers to adapt the vocal method of the blue yodel. Inspired by Jimmie Rodgers, Gene Autry and Yodeling Slim Clark, Roberts first came to prominence in the late 1940s and over the next five years he built up a respectable fan base through his recording and touring. Though he only charted four times, between 1949 and 1950; he remained a popular concert attraction well into the '80s. Kenny Roberts was born on October 14, 1927 in Lenoir City, Tennessee, USA and raised on a farm outside of Greenfield, Massachusetts. When he was eleven years old, he organized a band that was made up entirely of young harmonica players. Later, he learned to play guitar and then bass fiddle and violin. At age 15, he joined a radio band, the Red River Rangers, at WHAI in Greenfield and Roberts developed his yodeling skills. In 1943, he became part of the Down Homers, a local group who had a regular gig at WKNE, a New Hampshire radio station. Eventually, the group made their way toward the Midwest, playing at radio stations in Iowa and later settling in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where they regularly played a show called the Hoosier Hop. In a short time, Roberts had developed a reputation as an accomplished singer and yodeler.

Yamaha's XS650 is one of the all time favorites to convert into replica flat trackers. This bike, spotted at the local VME club meet was nicely done. Punched out to 750cc and period correct pipes are what set this bike apart.

Kenny Roberts - Hillbilly Fever
Kenny Roberts career took a road that we will find as we go along here. He was born in Lenox City, Tennessee. In mid-1949, Kenny signed a recording contract with Coral Records, a division of the Decca record label. His first release was an immediate smash, a tune called "I Never See Maggie Alone". The song was actually written in published back in 1926 and Kenny did a modern rendition of it that obviously got the listeners attention. And he followed that hit recording up with tunes such as "River of Tears", "I've Got The Blues", "Yodel Polka" and "Hillbilly Style". He started in music at an early age. When he was just eleven years old, he organized a band that was made up entirely of young harmonica players. Around that time, he started to take up guitar playing. Later on, he learned the bass fiddle and violin, too. From Tennessee, his childhood took him to the New England area where we have few details. But, when he was just 16, he broke in to the radio business. About a year later, he left home to work in a lumber mill and then moving to a New Hampshire radio station. No sooner had he gotten there did he win out over 38 other contestants for the title of "Easter States Yodeling Champion". And yodeling would become one of his trademarks. Kenny was not only a good singer, who made good records, but he was a good entertainer when he got in front of the audiences. He was booked at shows at such venues as the amusement parks in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Pennsylvania, the New <b>...</b>

Kenny Roberts Yamaha TZ 750 (700) Indy Mile Laps August 2009
A short video of the 2 or 3 laps Kenny Roberts completed on the restored 1975 Yamaha TZ750 Flat Track bike at the Indy Mile in August 2009. Although much of the lap was pretty blurry I left it on for the sound which lived up to the legend. Roberts did actually wring the neck of this thing, so that we all had the full effect... grown men weeping etc.

I'm a little late getting this out. Could'nt believe I drove 2000 miles to see this but It was worth the drive. Lived near Laguna Seca most of my life and remember Kenny on the TZ 750 in the 70's and the 500 in the 80's. I probably seen his last race there in 83 or 84. At the very least the greatest road racer from the US and as good as anyone from the rest of the world, any generation. He's one of only a handfull of people in this world I'd like to meet before I hang my helmet up
