Early lifeBorn Martin Robert Schopp in Chenoa, Illinois, he graduated from high school in 1935. Marty got an early start in the radio business when he appeared on WDZ Illinois as a sophomore in high school. Marty played the bass fiddle with The Lone Pine Fiddlers, a bluegrass group led by David "Stringbean" Akeman who later became notable as a longtime member of The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn and a regular on the television show, "Hee Haw".[2][1][2] CareerDuring his long career, Roberts played in several bands and appeared on many radio stations such as: WBT, Charlotte, N. C, 1938–41, with Tenn. Ramblers; WJJD, Chicago, 1941-2; WDZ, Tuscola, 1947–51; WCKY, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1951-8; WDZ, Decatur, 1958.[1] In 1937, Marty was playing his bass with Ted DeLeon and his Mexican Caballeros, touring the country by private train. A year later, Roberts was playing with the Moon Mullins Dixeland Band in Greensboro, N.C. when he got his first break.[2] While playing in a club in North Carolina, he became a member of the Tennessee Ramblers-based out of North Carolina.[3][4] The Ramblers appeared regularly on WBT in Charlotte playing their American Country and Western swing music.[4] The band had a recording contract with Bluebird records and appeared in several Hollywood singing cowboy feature films, Ride Ranger, Ride (1936), Yodelin’ Kid from Pine Ridge (1937) and [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034107/ Ridin’ the Cherokee Trail (1941)]. Roberts' movie career was abruptly interrupted by the onset of WWII. Marty served in the Army as a staff Sergeant during his deployment in Europe.[1] Upon his return to the states after the war, Marty returned to his musical roots at WDZ in Illinois.[1] He would later become a featured DJ on the station before moving to Cincinnati Ohio to join up with Nelson King on WCKY in 1951. He co-hosted the Hillbilly Jamboree with King and conducted the house band, “The Night Riders.” Roberts authored and sang several country western tunes on Coral, Arc, and Flame record companies.[5] Marty would achieve the honor of being in the Billboard magazines top 5 “Country and Western Disc Jockeys of the year” for 1951 through 1955.[3][6] Roberts also wrote several country and western tunes during his early years in the music business. Marty co-wrote a top ten hit for Wanda Jackson titled, “You Can’t Have My Love” released for Decca Records May 1954. Roberts finished his radio and entertainment career in Illinois on various radio stations as well as hosting “Marty’s Dance Party”[7] which was a live teen dance show produced by his wife Mary. The television show ran on WTVP in Decatur and WICS in Springfield Illinois during the 1960s.[8][9] He continued to DJ on various radio stations in central Illinois for several years while taking his band on the road throughout the Midwest before retiring to a life of golf and relaxation in his home town of Chenoa Illinois. Roberts passed away in November 2009 in St. Petersburg, Florida from complications related to a short illness.[10][1] He is survived by his two sons, Allen Robert Schopp and Martin Brent Schopp.[10] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|title=Marty Roberts Biography|url=http://www.hillbilly-music.com/artists/story/index.php?id=12951|website=Home of Old-Time Country Music|publisher=Hillbilly-Music.com|accessdate=15 September 2017|ref=none}} 2. ^1 {{cite web |last1=Roberts |first1=Marty |title=Your Feet's Too Big |url=http://oldwax.blogspot.com/2015/12/your-feets-too-big.html |website=Dead Wax |publisher=Old Wax Blogspot |accessdate=31 July 2018 |date=20 December 2015}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=A History And Encyclopedia Of Composers, Artists & Songs|url=http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/country-history/History-Country-Western%20-%200401.htm|website=Country, Western & Gospel Music|publisher=A Traditional Music Library|accessdate=30 October 2017|ref=none}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=Tennessee Ramblers|url=http://www.hillbilly-music.com/groups/story/printgroup.php?groupid|website=Home of Old-Time Country Music|publisher=Hillbilly-Music.com|accessdate=12 July 2017|ref=none}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=The Billboard Ninth Annual Disk Jockey Poll|date=10 November 1956|publisher=Billboard Magazine|location=Cincinnati Ohio|page=132|ref=none}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Warlick|first1=Tom|last2=Warlick|first2=Lucy|title=The WBT Briarhoppers: Eight Decades of Bluegrass Band Made for Radio|date=24 September 2007|publisher=McFarland|location=Jefferson, North Carolina|isbn=978-0786431441|page=124|pages=|url=https://books.google.com/?id=6K7uCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA124&dq=%22Marty%2BRoberts%22%2Bradio#v=onepage&q=%22Marty%20Roberts%22%20radio&f=false|accessdate=26 October 2017|ref=none}} 7. ^{{cite news|last1=Morrison|first1=Lisa|title=Ask the Herald and Review Librarian|url=https://newspapers.com/image/77335103|accessdate=17 October 2017|work=Herald and Review|date=24 July 2001}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Quick|first1=Doug|title=The History of WTVP|url=http://www.dougquick.com/wanddecatur2.html|publisher=www.dougquick.com|accessdate=11 August 2017|ref=none}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Marty's Party Starts TV Show Today|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/70593880|accessdate=17 October 2017|work=The Pantagraph|date=13 February 1965}} 10. ^1 2 {{cite news|last1=Craft|first1=Dan|title=Happy Trails to the area's own Tex & Marty|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/75773136/|accessdate=27 October 2017|publisher=The Pantagraph|date=26 November 2009|ref=none}} External links{{Commons category|Marty Roberts}}
