When Marvin Rainwater was trying to establish himself in the Washington Metropolitan country music scene, Roy Clark was an early supporter and collaborator cutting demos and records with him. This association was also Clark's key to getting on the popular TV show Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, a show on which Rainwater appeared and "won" and on which Clark appeared and did not. (He came in second.) Roy Clark released his debut album The Lightning Fingers of Roy Clark in 1962 on Capitol Records.
