Roy Clark
Roy Linwood Clark (born 15 April 1933, Meherrin, Virginia) is a versatile and well-known country music musician and performer.
He is best known for hosting one of the first nationally televised country variety shows in the United States, Hee Haw from 1969 - 1992. Clark has been an iconic figure in country music, both as a musician and as a popularizer of country music.
Clark is an entertainer, most of all, with an amiable personality and a telegenic presence. During the 1970s, Clark frequently guest-hosted for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show and enjoyed a 30,000,000 viewership for "Hee Haw".
Clark is highly regarded as both a guitarist and banjo player. He is also skilled in Classical guitar as well as playing several other instruments. While he has had hit songs (e.g. "Yesterday, When I was Young" and "Thank God and Greyhound"), his instrumental skill has had an enormous effect on succeeding generations of both bluegrass and country musicians.
