- The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is planning a long-run exhibition, Marty Robbins: Among My Souvenirs, that will pay tribute to the country music legend. Robbins, who passed away soon after his 1982 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, charted nearly 100 hits, including 16 at No. 1, such as Singing the Blues, El Paso and My Woman, My Woman, My Wife. Beginning in the 1950s, Robbins made more than a dozen Western- or country music-themed films, and his TV credits include Western Caravan, The Drifter and The Marty Robbins Show. The exhibit will open Aug. 3 and run through June 2008. For more information, call 615.416.2001 or visit www.countrymusichalloffame.com.
