[@medicmark9683]

Scott first off don’t ever change the way you do your graveside stories everyone can tell your stories come from the heart and we love them..second only someone from Ontario knows exactly what you mean about celebrities being relaxed when visiting here. This was a great tribute to Mr. Rogers thank you

[@SCOTTONTAPE]

Thank you Mark!

[@nickrogers4989]

Long Live greatest late icon of Country Music Kenny Rogers! Alot of heart humor soul! He was very genuine, gifted, amazing, very cool, down to earth human being with beautiful natural voices as well!❤❤❤

[@blondieb6946]

My dad passed in 2012 at the age of 65. He looked so much like Kenny Rogers, especially when I was a child, when he had salt and pepper hair. Later in his life, the last 15 years, he was Santa, with his all white hair and beautiful blue eyes. Every time I see Kenny Rogers, on tv or hear his music, I think of my dad. My dad loved his music also. I will always remember my parents dancing to “through the years”. Such great music and great memories for so many of us.

[@recoveringfatboy5660]

She believes in me is my favorite Kenny Rogers song. A great songwriter

[@Clippersfan02]

Gosh I remember it was all about Kenny Rogers and Johnny Cash In my house growing up my mom was all about Kenny Rogers she would’ve been heartbroken about his death but she passed away in 2017 RIP to one of the best country singers ever

[@daisymaefrench4041]

I saw Kenny Rogers at Foxwoods in Connecticut. He had the audience singing Lucille and he would chime in and laugh. So, I can proudly say that I sang with Kenny Rogers. Thank you so much for these videos, Scott. You make me feel like I'm right there with you. Thanks.

[@katherinemeyers3005]

I love how you present everyone's graves.Dont listen to the negativity of the ones that don't like what you do.You have MORE people that Love you & what you do.Keep up the great work& God bless❤️😘❤️🤗❤️🙏❤️😇❤️

[@rabbidcow2135]

My grandma raised me. Loved him and Conway. Hank Hill idolizes the guy. I think the Gambler pretty much surmises life. Good one Scotto. Watched at 550 am.

[@mrsmatthews53]

my very first mothers day, i got to go with my best friend to go to his concert (40 yrs ago) anyway were in the nose bleed section and he had a round stage, i ran down a bunch of stairs to get his picture and when i got down there, i held my camera up, he looked down so sweet and smiled for me i took the picture and peed down my leg, when i got my pictures back and i only got him from the waist down, lol loved him for a long time and will always love him, ty scott

[@terribleTed-ln6cm]

Scott please never ever change your channel, we love you exactly the way you are! May God continue to bless you always.

[@susancaroline927]

My older sister is the biggest Kenny Rogers fan I’ve ever known. She was able to go to his very last concert. She, a full grown adult and doctor, was giddy and tearful throughout the whole thing. I was so happy for her that she got to go.

[@tashalmwoods7103]

I was going through my "Scott files" and found this one. I'm not sure how I missed it, but I'm so happy I found it 😊 I am a Kenny Roger's fan and The Gambler is my all time favorite! RIP Mr. Roger's. Keep up the great work Scott! ❤

[@Mickeymouse1105]

I played his “It’s so Hard to say Goodbye” at my husbands funeral. Best Singer. Forever Cherished! I also shared the same Birthdate with my Mother.

[@YoKendog]

Thank you for this. I grew up wanting to be Kenny Rogers and I’ll never forget the night he died. A hero of mine for so many reasons. When I am in ATL next summer I’ll have to plan a stop. Thanks again.

[@stvnm5282]

Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) MY FAV0RITE !!!!!!

[@kennethmaskell8522]

My mom put on"Somethings Burning" that's the first Kenny Rogers song I remember. Enjoy your videos don't change anything.

[@bridgetdraper5146]

When i was growing up my peers asked me who my favorite singer was and i can remember saying Kenny Rogers. Meanwhile everyone made fun of me because they were all into AC/DC which i only listened to in secret since music like that was not played in my childhood home. One of my favorite memories of Kenny was him being onstage and he had his son Christopher on his shoulders and suddenly Kenny said we need to wrap this up I feel something warm running down my back. I just loved him the original silver fox!

[@paradiseana7634]

Like your style. Keep doing what your doing. In your own style. Enjoy your stories.My fav Kenny Rogers song was "Island In The Stream." Because it was wriiten by incredible songwriters Gibbs brothers. Kenny's voice just took it to another level. Well done!♥️🎶🎙️🎸

[@DB-hv3fn]

I was bullied at school when I was a kid and Kennys Coward of the county always resonated with me. Thanks Kenny you were one of a kind🇮🇪

Thank you so much Dwayne

[@carlosb.5362]

I used to ride around with my grandma in her 1981 Mercury Marquis with an 8 track tape player and we would listen to Kenny Rogers Gambler on 8 track tape. He was one of her favorites and is one of mine. Thank you for sharing your story and video with us. 💯

[@robindore9582]

I remember when my Mom was alive she loved Kenny Rogers her favorite song was Lady My favorite song is The Gambler great bridge, absolutely great song. Thanks Scott you are appreciated. R I P KR you are loved for generations to come. ♡

[@Whittdocs]

Great visit! Kenny Rogers was a legend. Thank you so much Scott.

[@stevenguatemoc1509]

Our hometown legendary country singer Houston tx rip!

[@cindiegrimm5983]

Thank you! This meant so much to me. I'm almost 73 and Kenny has been my heart for as long as I can remember. His music has ALWAYS been a part of my life. My youngest son took me to one of his shows in Columbus, Ohio. It was a dream come true. After that he came to another nearby city a couple of years later . I bought myself a ticket and drove myself to that show all by myself. His wife and twin sons came out on the stage with him. He was ill that night, fighting an upper respiratory bug, but he was still fantastic. I'm so glad I had those chances to finally see him in person. It was a standing joke between me and my late husband that Kenny was the only guy he would "allow" me to spend a few hours with. LOL Thankyou for leaving the stone, for brushing the dust from his beautiful resting place and for letting me see his amazing monument.

[@thunderroad7289]

I had the pleasure of doing a few tours over the years for Kenny Rogers. Driving semi truck for a tour company out of Nashville. The man treated all of us drivers so well. He was a amazing person. A lot of fun to be around and the man could sing. Omg could he sing

[@catdonohoe7907]

Love his songs .he was amazing and still is.lots of love 💘 from ireland

I've Always Loved And Respected Kenny, For His Singing Career, That Spanned over 50 Years. My Favorite Songs, Are "Lady" "You Decorated My Life" And "Through The Years". I Will Go There, And See With My Own Eyes, And Absorb The Beauty Of This Very Precious Shrine, And Pay My Respects To Him. He Certainly Had This Beautiful Shrine, Designed And Built And Was There, For His Resting Place.

My grandma was in L💞ve with Kenny Rogers until the day she died! Remember singing the song "The Gambler" in music class when I was in the third grade! Have a Very Merry🌲Christmas Scott.... So glad I found your Channel this year! L💞ve Ya &🥂's My Friend❣

[@jo-annbercier6546]

Thank you for this video Scott. I am a Kenny Rogers fan too. I saw him in concert back in 1984 and had front row center seats. He was wonderful. All the graves you visit, I am walking along side of you. I am not able to travel to all the places you go so thank you for sharing. Love from Canada.

[@naders08]

Gosh... Kenny Rogers taught me the best lesson in life ever. "Know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away". Scott I'll send you a pm on Instagram re Kenny.

[@TwistedSMF]

I am a Metal Head. Pure and through and through. Kenny always had a softspot for me. I loved the movie "SixPack" and all his songs that came throughout the '70s/'80s. His brand of Country (And a lot of artists from his time period.) Was the only Country I could stand. I think from the 90s on, I just stopped liking Country - PERIOD - Kenny Rogers will be missed. He was a treasure to listen to. Merry Christmas to all and you as well Scott. Love your channel, Great content!

[@audgester]

My after-kindergarten class did a little skit to "The Gambler". I still have photos of that day in '78/'79. I still love the song and Kenny Rogers was a big part of my childhood. Always liked him. Thanks for a nice video. I like the way you do your videos.

[@erinbedard6374]

I love Kenny Rogers how been for years.

[@rachelthomas3655]

My husband said that Kenny, was a legend for the way he "checked out." Keep in mind, Kenny is one of my favorites of all time. One day, we were listening to "The Gambler" and out of no where my husband says, "Ya know, Kenny is a legend, and I don't mean with his music and stuff I mean, Kenny knew 'when to fold 'em' because he checked out right before Covid hit!" Or something to that nature and everytime I think about it, I giggle. RIP Kenny, thank you for the amazing songs and being a part of my childhood into adulthood!

[@Stacy-pz9rr]

Gosh , Kenny Rogers has the most Grand resting place that you’ve ever visited …..And so deserving too….. He was such an amazing artist ….. My parents used to have his albums on 8 track tapes . He did some unique colabs RIP Kenny Rogers ….. I love your passion for sharing someone’s story , whether they are famous or not , please don’t ever change the way you bring life to peoples lives ❤fromTX

[@hallking7441]

I miss my dad too. Your videos helped me during a time of grief last year and even made me laugh a few times. Keep doing them exactly the way you want. 🇨🇦 I hope Dolly Parton lives forever.

[@cheleshows]

That is great memory. Thanks for sharing it with us. "... Ten thousand children" Luv Kenny Rogers. My dad was always being mistaken for him, in the 80s.

[@nicolecorriedemaio]

I love his songs Lady and Through The Years. I'm not a country music fan, but certain songs from certain country music artists I'll make an acceptance for. I also, love to hear your stories and anecdotes. That's really cool that you got to meet him,and share a birthday with him and your dad. May Kenny and your dad RIP

[@elizabethsulliman]

That story made my day. What a cool guy. Long, great career all the way til the end. Love Kenny Rodgers. What a beautiful final resting place in all ways.

[@SFBenjaminK]

wow , what a beautiful massive grave compare to other singers & actors , remembering him back in mid 70s & 80s when i was a boy & a teenager back then , we all going the same way is circle of life RIP😘

[@kandicejanusz1829]

Grew up on Kenny Rogers, CCR, The Carpenters, Beach Boys, and the Beatles, thanks to my parents. I never got to see him in concert, but I can imagine. All time Favorite song is The Greatest. I want my vow renewel song to be Through the years. I was hoping it would have been this year for our 20th (12/21/01). Things happen. Love you Kenny Rogers. You will always be one of my idols.

[@DowntownMike]

I love the episode of The Muppet Show, from way back, where Kenny sang The Gambler in a "train car" with some muppets.

[@Todd_Stephenson]

Coward of the County is my favorite Kenny song too. I met him once at a mall in Athens GA when I was around 14. Very nice man. My mom was a huge fan and was nearby so we got to a pay phone and asked her to come to the mall. Kenny waited for her and my mom was able to meet him. Kenny’s son Christopher was in a stroller and I had my cousin Christopher with me and the two sort of shook hands as 2-3 year olds. Cute. I have a loose connection to Marianne Gordon through my Grandmother on my dad’s side which I didn’t know at the time. I remember Marianne walking up and she had such a presence. Thanks Scott. Merry Christmas all!

[@conniephillips8217]

[@krystina.nelson217]

That burial plot is amazing! He was an awesome man and I remember going to Tuscaloosa, Al with my Dad to see Lionel Ritchie and Kenny came out to sing “Lady”…. Not a dry eye in the place! That man could just smile and make you feel so calm and loved. He adored his fans and the chemistry he had with Dolly is one no one can touch.

[@vernacohen6988]

I still remember the first time I heard Kenny. When my oldest brother wasn't home he gave me the OK to play 8 track tapes. I found Kenny and the First Edition and that was it, I was hooked. Ruby was a regular tune for my fam. A beautiful resting place but no flowers made me sad. Kenny passed just weeks before our precious moms, dear Scott and Robert Plant and I celebrate our day 24 hrs. before you, your dad and Kenny. 🤗. I'd say we are in good company. Loved your Kenny story. Happy holidays to you and all. 🎶🎸🎄✨⛄💝💚💖

You touch many hearts and souls, both living and on the other side of life, including mine. God bless 🙌 and protect your pea-pickin' heart! And, you make me laugh!

[@nicolebayliss9910]

My sister used to play Kenny on the turntable in our room all the time, he was going to come to Australia with Glen Campbell but Glen got sick. I wish I could have taken my sister to that concert.

[@cindygish9064]

Ahh you did it again. Blue ribbon all the dear one. What a loss to the music industry. Kenny could do it all!! Thanks Scott xo

[@kaymad143]

[@glenchadwick420]

OMG what a beautiful resting place. His music brings back so many wonderful memories of my very first girlfriend in high school. She loved his music. Her name was RUBY. She hated that name so she went by her middle name Lynn.

[@bernadettehernandez9624]

Loved Kenny rogers still have his album with lady on it one of my favorites merry Christmas to all

[@ericlomax1793]

Kenny Rogers did have a home outside of Los Angeles before and then he moved to another place in Georgia where he had ranch outside of Atlanta and a lake on the ranch called “Lake Christopher” after his son Christopher. Gambler movies were his best, he did a few movies called “McShane”, as a private investigator but those were not shown often and didn’t have same chemistry as the Gambler movies did.

[@astravanmk2]

I absolutely love Kenny Rogers, even though I was born and raised in the UK my parents were massively into country. So Kenny and Charley Pride and Don Williams were constants in my life.

[@wheezyjefferson9136]

My mom loved him so much! I do too, Just Dropped In is my most favorite. Don’t forget his duets with Dottie West(another awesome story there)!

[@adamcrismansr440]

Im from Grand Rapids, Mi..i used to eat at his restaurant when it was here..i still remember it..and the smell of fresh rotisserie chicken...those chicken wraps were sooooo good!

[@thomascrowley9122]

Not a huge fan of country music. But my Mom loved him so i still grew up listening to him.

[@sophiegeorge2816]

My late parents loved country music especially Kenny Rogers, some of his songs still make me cry The song that made me laugh was Lucille, she left him with 400 children and a crop in the field

I was such a big fan of his music as a boy and I think I saw every one of his movies. I didn't know he was here in Atlanta now. I like the story of you meeting him. Always very tastefully done. Thanks Scott

[@alabamatruthseeker454]

In 1974, when I was 19, Kenny Rogers and the First Edition were playing at a club called The Plush Horse, in Huntsville, Alabama and I got to see them. I was at a table up front, trying to get a photo of the entire band. He saw me and stopped the show. He told everyone to come to the front of the stage and they posed for me to take photos. I walked up to the stage to thank him and he touched my face, which I swore I would never wash again. lol. He was so gracious and kind and I was a lifelong fan.

[@ClairvoyantDonna]

Will always remember Kenny Rogers and his great music

[@MrMikepresley]

With yea all the way Scott, I like your videos!! I remember watching Kenny's weekly TV show (think it was the early70's) he had long hair, full beard and always wore tinted sun-glasses, my parents liked him and so did I. I put Kenny in with Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen, they were all a genre of their own!!

[@jleb22]
