Where Are They Now? Here’s Roy Clark [VIDEO]
March 8, 2013 10:10 AM Every summer on vacation, I always pick up a copy of “Sports Illustrated”, not the swimsuit edition but the “Where are they now?” edition. It’s always fun to see where big names of the past are today. One big name in country music is Roy Clark, and he’s still going strong.Here’s more from his website, thesuperpicker.com:
“Roy is a Virginia born, multi-award winning virtuoso, actor, vocalist, philanthropist and all ’round great human being! A partial list of his many awards include:
Entertainer of the Year, Academy of Country Music
Comedy Act of the Year, Academy of Country Music
Picker of the Year, Playboy Magazine’s Reader’s Poll
Best Country Guitarist, Guitar Magazine
Grammy Award for “Alabama Jubilee.”
Roy became a Grand Ole Opry member in 1987. He was a favorite recurring actor on the classic television sitcom “The Beverly Hillbillies” which spawned several acting roles on television and the movies. He also hosted the incomparable “Hee Haw” show for over two decades. He and wife Barbara live in Oklahoma where he finds time to fish, fly his airplanes and ride motorcycles.
More Importantly, Roy Clark is STILL wowing audiences and releasing new CD’s on his own label, Roy Clark, Ltd.”
