ROGER MILLER: KING OF THE ROAD - The Authorised Biography

This is the definitive, authorised biography of singer-songwriter Roger Miller, whose amazing career placed him on top of both the country music and pop record charts as well as on Broadway. This film includes rare performance clips of many of Roger's greatest hits.

Clever, witty , original, inventive, spontaneous; Roger Miller was these things and more. He was the first artist to win five Grammys in one year, and six Grammy's the next. Miller's 'King of the Road' was so popular, it beat out 'Yesterday' by the Beatles to claim song of the year. In 1985, Roger put Mark Twain's life to music when he wrote the music for the Broadway show, 'Big River'. He won a Tony for his talents; the first country singer ever to do so.
Narrated by Waylon Jennings, this show features many of those who knew Roger best, including Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Glen Campbell, Jimmy Dean, Sheb Wooley, and many others. It also contains rare footage of Roger performing many of his greatest songs, including 'King of the Road', 'Chug-a-lug', 'Dang Me', 'Husbands and Wives' and many others.

Narrated by Waylon Jennings
