    Heard this story before, but never with the details fleshed out so thoroughly. Glad to know that the "corpseknappers" got off with a slap on the wrist. Their hearts were in the right place, anyway. Anyone that crazy and dedicated deserves to be let off. Things were sure different 50 years ago, cops were more like Barney Fife, and airport employees didn't want to give you a full body cavity search to buy a plane ticket. Too bad things have come to such a pass as they have now. Thanks for being a bright spot in my day.

    Gram was 26 when he died. He was born November 5th 1946. Died September 19th 1973. Less than 2 months shy of the 27 club. He was incredible and could have made so much incredible music had he lived.

      Thanks for clarifying. The narrator says 23 at 2:15, the 26 just a few moments later. I went back to the beginning of the video to hear his birth year ('46), but then thought, "Wait, if they gave two different ages, why should I put any faith in the year they claimed he was born?" Rather than dive down a rabbit hole, I came here to the comments, & here you are! Thanks again! ✌🏼

      It wasn't a crime back then to "steal a body" but, it was illegal to steal a casket. Also destruction of it. I mean, it wasn't that weird for the 70's. My father is Glen D. Hardin who was a good friend of Grams, and musical director of Grievous Angel. BTW, Honky Tonk Woman was really Grams song. Gram was a sweet guy, who made bad decisions, sometimes. We miss him too.

    There is a movie called “. Grand Theft Parsons” starring Johnny Knoxville that depicts the story. I’ve stayed in room 8 at the Joshua Tree Inn (the room Gram died in) twice. It has become a shrine to Gram and people from all over the world make the pilgrimage and leave cd’s of themselves playing Grams music. The Inn leaves a cd player in room 8 so you can listen to them. My first visit there we were loaned guitars that were hanging in the lobby for the duration of our stay. Please visit the Joshua Tree Inn if you’re ever driving from LA to Las Vegas. Robert Plant stayed there often as do many other celebrities. There is a ghost in the room though…❤️😎

    Good video. I'm a big fan of Gram, who just missed the "27 Club", and who resurrected the "Country Sound".
    The earlier funeral, in which Gram and Kaufman made the pact, was undoubtedly for "Clarence White", another extremely important pioneer in Country Music. Clarence, along with Doc Watson, pretty much invented "flat-picking", turning the acoustic guitar into a lead instrument. Clarence was also the "conceptual inventor" of the "b-bender", enabling a Telecaster to sound like a pedal steel (The "mechanic inventor", who built the "b-bender", was drummer for the Byrds, Gene Parsons, no relation to Gram.).
    Between Gram and Clarence, those three months in 1973, saw a HUGE LOSS, in Musical Pioneering, still highly present in today's Music. Clarence's b-bender Telecaster, is still being played by Marty Stuart, maybe the top active Country Performer.

      No, not "all" and not "absolutely"; there is no way either of you could have proof of that. I lived through all the 1970s, got haircuts as my parents wished, and never did drugs in my life. I'd like to see videos where you are always respectful to the subjects and din't try to exploit and profit off them without their (or their estate's if deceased) permission and where you correct and naturally want to apologize for your errors including contradicting yourself on this singer's age. As of this writing, you've also got the apostrophe in the wrong place in his name in the title, making his name incorrect. His name was Gram Parsons, not Gram Parson. The apostrophe should be after the second "s."
