How tall was Marty robbins?

Oh I was 16 when I met him and I only remember that he was under 5 feet. My dad said that when he was on TV singing a duet with a lady they would put him on a wooden box and shoot from the waist up only. THIS PERSON IS THINKING OF LITTLE JIMMY DICKENS. MARTY ROBBINS IS BETWEEN 5.7 AND 5.9. WE WERE FRIENDS FOR YEARS PRIOR TO HIS DEATH AND I AM 5'4" AND MARTY WAS SEVERAL INCHES TALLER THAN I WAS.

I believe that this is the correct answer.
