That cemetery was so gorgeous

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Yes, it’s one of the prettiest cemeteries I’ve ever visited. 👍

[@bobquiggjr.1748]

My favorite Kenny Rogers song is Through the Years. So sweet and romantic.

[@Lava1964]

Mine too!

[@bobquiggjr.1748]

@@Lava1964 The Gambler is a close second though 🙂.

I'm a Big Fan of Kenny Rogers and it broke my country heart when he died.

[@maikolmaikol64]

That crypt is spectacular

[@andreshernandez3367]

I made Kenny Rogers mausoleum

[@chadglasner4755]

Today I learned where Kenny Rogers is buried in Atlanta. Beautiful crypt. And The Gambler is my favorite song of his.

[@charliec5449]

One of my favorites of Rogers was "Ruby, don't take your love to town" when he was with the Fifth Edition.

[@bethtyree6346]

RIP Kenny Rogers You brought your fans so much joy over the years

[@MrHeadbanger366]

I don't have many favorite country singers, but Kenny is one of them.

[@Linda-in9ns]

Good morning Steve, thanks for the video. I liked Kenny Rodgers music. He’s a legend for sure! 🎵good weekend to you! 🩵🌞

Hi Mr. Steve 👋 Thank you for visiting the great Peach 🍑 State of Atlanta Georgia 🍑 You were only 100 miles from Macon Georgia. Thanks for visiting Kenny Rogers and Margaret Mitchell final resting place ❤🎉❤🎉 Always noisy in Atlanta. Maybe one day you'll make it farther south to Macon and visit the Historic Rose Hill Cemetery, the final resting place of Gregg Allman and most of his band members. As always, you never disappoint. Take care and lots of love ❤️ 🎉

[@TheGraveyardChannel]

Thank you Janice! 😀

[@travelingwithmikeandpam9074]

That's a cool cemetery! Loved Kenny Rogers!

[@whoami7721]

One of my earliest musical memories is listening to Kenny Rogers' Greatest Hits on vinyl, sometime in the early '80s . The record belonged to my mom and I still have it. I particularly loved "The Gambler" and "Coward of the County". Those songs told stories about the Wild West, and his smooth voice was like glass. Very little if any "twang", which country artists would later use. It was sad to hear he succumbed to COVID, but he had a great, long career.

[@monikameza4107]

I love this beautiful cemetery ❤️ love his songs especially Lady❤ R.i.P Kenny Rogers. Thanks Steve for taking me along.

[@movieedge7370]

Those are beautiful cemetery I love the old style brick walkways .

[@deniseholt2198]

My Mom loved him and Elvis. I’m hoping she’s in heaven seeing the two of them singing to her. ❤

[@WasatchWendigo]

As a kindergartner in the 1980's, during nap time all our teacher would play was Kenny Rogers songs. So that was my first introduction to his outstanding artistry :)

[@davidlape3325]

Thank you for sharing Steve. Such a beautiful cemetery. Much appreciation for the history of the graves. Stay safe and blessed Steve.❤

[@random_account2160]

My mom was a nurse in Texas for years and took care of Kenny Roger’s brother at one point. She told me it was a sad story as Kenny and the rest of the family abandoned him. My mom herself passed away back in January at 88.

[@valeriemote6686]

Oakland Cemetery is probably my favorite! It’s beautiful! And this time of year the flowers are starting to bloom and fill the cemetery with color. Welcome to Atlanta, Steve.

[@maryannlockwood7806]

I like a few of his songs. My favorite would have to be “love will turn you around”.💁🏻‍♀️ Gone with the wind is a classic. Glad to see people are still remembering that golf player even though he’s been gone for over 50 years.

[@Tawanda65]

😢 Blessings to you Steve. The memories of Kenny Rogers are buried in my heart. I got to see him the year he retired. I was heartbroken when he passed. I too was raised with his music. 😊

[@Rotnbully]

Love seeing your road trip footage Steve 💜 As for Kenny - my earliest “music” memories are listening to Kenny, Ronnie Milsap, Charlie Pride and such on 8 track in my Dad’s 68 mustang 🙏🏻

[@catherine59226]

I really enjoy your channel so much Steve! 👍🏻❤️

My Favorite Kenny Rodgers Song From Kenny Rodgers & The First Edition Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In Have A Blessed Day Steve

[@janetslicer3637]

Whoa I wish my husband could have seen Bobbie Jones burial place. He was such an avid golfer. I was definitely a Kenny Rogers' fan. His own songwriting, songs and those he did with others were always high on my list. I still miss him. 😢 Thank you for bringing us this true and from what I read, sad story of Margaret Mitchell.

[@jodywoodruff6473]

I love Kenny Rogers. Seeing him perform in person was amazing. Awesome video 😊

[@alextepe4309]

Hi Steve. I’ve been a longtime fan of your videos. As someone who cannot travel, I enjoy you showing these gravesites on site. Kenny Rogers was a fine singer, and the Gambler remains one of the best country songs of all time.

[@colemahaffey2366]

Everyone loved Kenny Rogers and his music. Thanks for the video Steve and have a great weekend. The cemetery also looked nice even though it was noisy

[@sallykohorst8803]

Thanks for Kennys Grave.

[@ArdenSinn-oz3hq]

The cemetery is awesome. And Kenny Roger's crypt as fitting as expected. What is there to not like about him. He was so unique and was great at what he did. Gambler was a top song for me. And Lucille. ❤

[@lisabarnes2477]

How can i choose a favorite song from Kenny? His voice was absolutely beautiful ❤

[@hattiem.7966]

Most of us ❤ The Gambler.

[@lisabarnes2477]

Another great video. Field trips were fun when I was in elementary school. I remember us going to visit many Missions scattered in California.

[@gregdiamond6023]

Really cool Steve. Thanks for sharing. The cemetery is beautiful!

[@lauriemathews7974]

My favorite Kenny Rogers song is, "I Feel Sorry For Anyone That Isn't Me Tonight." I also like "Every Time Two Fools Collide." I saw Kenny at the New York State Fair when I was a kid. He had Dotty West on with him as a special guest. It was a show I'll never forget. Thanks for showing us Kenny's final resting place.

[@jillgross6232]

I love Margaret Mitchell, Gone With The Wind is my favorite book and my favorite movie. I've loved it since I read it as a 6th grader. I'm 58 years old. So, not old but not young either. I love history and I always read GWTW with history in my mind. I hate that so many want to erase the past. History is important. Rather, it's good, bad, or indifferent. History is a great teacher. We should learn from every moment! ❤❤❤

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed, Thanks again for sharing, Steve

[@karengregar6530]

Hi Steve, enjoyed the video. Keep me in your prayers. I’m going to battle with cancer now and I need all the prayers I can get to Jim. God bless you, Karen.

Another great video Steve thank you

[@sarahconn3285]

My favorite Kenny Rogers song the gambler RIP Kenny !!

[@Whittdocs]

I definitely didn’t realize that his grave was in such a historic cemetery. I’ve been wanting to get to this one for my channel. My favorite Kenny song is “The Gambler”. Thanks for another wonderful cemetery visit.

[@kerryg4119]

The first song that involved Kenny Rogers that I really loved was "Just Dropped In" by Kenny Rogers and The First Edition. The beginning of that song was sort of psychedelic to me at the time and there were some really cool vocal effects in it as well. Great song! This was a great video and a beautiful cemetery. I love the old brick walls and walkways. I'll bet there are more bricks under the asphalt. Must have been really beautiful when it was first laid out. Thanks Steve!

[@sharonobryan9713]

I used to drive by that cemetary every day going to work. I always wanted to visit, always said I would, but I have not, and now I never get out. Your video is wonderful!

[@leesashriber5097]

Hi my friend❣️😊 Good to see you!! This was an amazing upload. I loved all his songs. Lady and The Gambler are awesome. What a beautiful cemetery.

[@1aikane]

She Believes in Me comes to mind as one of my favorite songs of Kenny Rogers

Good morning Steve! Thanks for the video ❤. I love Kenny Rogers music. I thought his grave was in Texas where he was born. Have a nice weekend Steve!

Nice cemetery. Thanks for showing us where Kenny is laid to rest. I hope he rests in peace. Take care.

Hi Steve always good to see you. Lady is one of my favorite songs, sad he is gone🥲

Hi Steve...thanks for another great tour! You are always respectful and informative. I'm waving back!

[@MrMockingbird1313]

Hey Steve, Two facts for your fans: Margaret Mitchell's original book draft was about 2000 typed pages. The editor loved it but told her to cut it down in size. So it became around half it's original size. Second, MM died when hit by an auto, while crossing an Atlanta street. Thanks for your work.

[@dsinavich5141]

Hi Steve.... beautiful cemetery. ...love Kenny Rogers....thanks for vlogging.... take care...... Deborah 🇨🇦

3rd - Hey steve ......Loved all Kenny Rodgers songs.... when they weren't -Overplayed- to death.... but a Legend for sure.... ! hello to Jim ....

[@Melanie220]

Great video, didn't realise Kenny Rogers was buried in Atlanta. As for Gone With the Wind, TCM still airs it several times a year, but with a disclaimer at the start warning of certain historical depictions that might be offensive to some. I'm glad they still show it, it deserves to be seen for the masterpiece of film-making that it is, and to give new generations a chance to see it and discuss its significance and its problems. And Hattie McDaniel's performance should never, EVER be forgotten!

[@Angelkat757]

I grew up listening to Kenny Rogers. My mom was a big fan. I think my favorite song of Kenny’s was Through the Years.

[@hattiem.7966]

I saw the Jones and Mitchell Graves 20 years ago.I loved the little chapel there.

[@frankdenardo8684]

Kenny Rogers was a singer, songwriter, and actor. My favorite songs of his. The Gambler Lucille Islands in the stream duet with Dolly Parton We Got Tonight duet with Sheena Easton I have a friend who saw him perform at Harrah's, The Nugget, The Shrine Auditorium, and Branson, Missouri.

[@shaynewheeler9249]

HI there

[@ericlomax1793]

Scott on tape didn’t say it was not too far from the entrance but the sign does help for people looking for him. I also saw on the same site you use too that Evel Knievel’s grave in Butte, Montana has signs pointing to his grave too. If you happen to go to Lubbock, Texas to go to Buddy Holly’s grave at the public cemetery there, you would have an easier time finding Mac Davis’ grave as he has a large tombstone there and a couple of marble benches there too. Mac was a singer, song writer, and even actor who was in the 70’s movie “North Dallas Forty” with Nick Nolte.

[@rorylatimer446]

Hi Steve Thanks Loved Kenny Roger's. Was sad when I heard he'd passed. I listened often to his songs. The Gambler was one of my favorite. Margaret Mitchell was sadly hit by a car while crossing a road in 1949. You keep well ❤

[@barbaragoodale3656]

I’m a big fan of Kenny Rogers. I saw him concert with Eddie Rabbit and t graham brown. They were great. Thanks for showing his final resting place 😮

I still remember watching the movie six pack on HBO constantly that was a great movie . Kenny Rogers was such a charming person in movies and TV.

I saw Kenny in The Cohasset melody tent in 2004. Fantastic.

[@debbiemorgan6701]

My favorite Kenny Rodgers song is his duet with Dolly, Islands in the Stream. It is truly hard to choose just one. I read Gone With The Wind long before I saw the movie. You are right that it certainly isn't a movie that most are comfortable with but it is from another time...

Hi Steve welcome back

[@RadioLaPrincess]

Gone With the Wind was my grandmother's favorite book and movie. I read the book and saw the movie and both were good. I remember reading she died before the movie was released which is a shame. My dad worked in a graveyard years ago and the one he worked at had a lot of blues legends buried in it, which was cool.
