Tragic Details About Waylon Jennings

- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- Waylon Jennings was one of the bad boys of country music, and that image came from his real life just as much as his stage persona and music. The outlaw country singer had quite a tragic life from his earliest days in the spotlight, when a young Jennings gave up his seat on a plane to J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson. The plane, which also carried Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, crashed and killed everyone on board. The near-death experience haunted Jennings for the rest of his life. From his failed marriages to his drug problems, let’s take a look at some tragic details about Waylon Jennings.

RIP, Waylon Jennings
Always a Highwaymen
RIP
Waylon said 1000$ a day habbit not 1500$
RIP a legend
@@kentbarger5021 the interview I watched Waylon said 1500.00 a day.
They need a fact checker on this channel. Geez
He still is my all-time Country favorite!
Mine as well
Mine as well
There never was, has not, and will never be another Waymore. A lot of young, new talent is doing him proud, though, most notably Sturgill Simpson.
Waylon You Live Through your songs, your songs will be sang forever more.
Waylon was an original and Country Music will never be the same again.
So true
My mother wouldn't let my father name me after Waylon. He is by far my favorite artist his music taps into something deep inside the soul. You can feel his pain and his love. He's not bullshitting you.
Waylons voice resonates a pure country sound..unheard in today's music.
In my opinion, there's nobody better ever before, or ever after, than ole Waymore
Whoop whoop!
I couldn’t agree more.
Whatever IT is he had a train load if it
Nothin like ol Hoss. Almost bigger than Texas!
STILL LEGEND
He sings in his songs,
We all sing them,
We all play them.
Love Live Waylon.
We all lost that day. Decades of music that would’ve inspired more decades of music was gone in an instant. It would’ve been interesting to see how Holly and the others adapted to the changing music landscape of the 60s and then the 70s.
Waylon was one of the coolest dudes I have ever seen and one of the greatest country artists. Period.
The loss of buddy Holly must have been heavy on him all his life. Rest In Peace
Much more so because I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere that he felt like he cursed them, and lived under that guilt all his life.
this man was awesome he deserves an oscar level movie
The best... Waylon always hit different.
Waylon Jennings was authentic in every way. In my opinion he was the greatest country singer of all time.
For sure. He’s my favorite singer of all time!
George jones is the King.
Absolutely agree even after all these years his singing and style is considered by many to be the best country artist of all time, Rest in peace Hoss, your legacy will live forever 🎸
I agree ❤
He was the best artist of the outlaw country music era.
One of the great voices. And a great American artist. Rip
Waylon Jennings, the King of Country.
I got the chance to meet my hero. I was doing payroll at gift shop in a hyatt in Albuquerque. He walked in and said "Good morning" I immediately knew who he was, I put my paperwork and told him that he was my hero
He smiled and told I was to young to have him as a hero, and I told him my story and we talked for 40 minutes. He wife came to get him he been there so long, as he walked out he asked what my favorite of his songs and I told him "Rainy day women" but the song that fit me has always been "I've always been crazy" its still my song. I called my Mom to tell her who I saw, and she asked if I got his autograph. I hadn't, it never even was a thought. To hear his voice so close and getting to have a conversation was just to damn cool.
You know you're off the rails, pun not intended, when Johnny Cash tells you to slow down.
Johnny been clean from the very early 70s
Cash and Jennings had been drug pals when cash relapsed in later years but both got clean again quickly
Waylon and Johnny were best friends Johnny always looked out for Waylon Cash is godfather to Waylon's son Shooter
@@jasperbeardly2938 Cool Stuff .. didnt know shooter was Johnny's godson.
For real
Waylon has always been my all time favorite artist. I still listen to his and alot of the other classic greats daily.
His song "just to satisfy you" is hauntingly beautiful.
I'm a country girl in South America. I love Waylon Jennings. I have a shirt with his image on it and know every song. RIP Legend!
Thank you for posting so far away, Waylon use to get that big smile on his face when he would hear about having fans so far away, thank you 🎸
I have always loved Waylon Jennings. His unique style voice that no one shall ever be able to duplicate, his voice was so sexy to listen to. Yes l am a true fan of Waylon Jennings. He was @ still is to this day my favourite American Country music singer of all times. I live in Scotland, but l have Waylon on my You Tube , every day or night .l never ever get tired of Waylon. RIP FOREVER WAYLON. KINDEST REGARDS ELIZABETH IN❤❤❤❤❤ SCOTLAND ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hell of a hard living man no man will ever fill waylons boots.
Waylons voice is perfection only a few other singers can rival him
What you do early in your life, will catch up with you later in life. So sad to loose a great singer. Loved his voice.
Waylon Jennings Was & Is Still The Best
👍🏻🤠🇺🇸
A mentor to us all!!!!👍👍
Waylon changed the Country music image forever. Getting away from the Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars.!.
I love Waylon and his awesome singing voice and the man. He did so much to bring back the good old RREAL: Country music. He may have been a rebel , at times but i do think he is one of the greatest, singer, song writer of all time. I am 75 years old & I have seen them all, & he is up there with the BEST of THEM. RIP I have all your music, thank you also your book I loved reading it. You are my hero.
My song was I’ve always been crazy, because it kept me from going insane! Good times! You will be missed Waylon!😇♥️
My heroes RIP waylon
There will never be another hoss rip Waylon
As a kid I saw him on FOLLOW THAT BIRD, Sesame Street film....classic....but Waylon sang a song with Big Bird and I still remember it...”Ain’t No Road Too Long”
We all go through hard times & low points. Waylon was no different. He was still a well admired man , a hell of an artist , & a pretty fair actor. I haven't read his bk yet but I intend to.
I enjoyed his narrating in the Dukes of Hazzard & listening to him talk. He had a very specific , soft raspiness to his voice. He is , was , & always will be ......
" The Balladeer" .
Rest peacefully Waylon.
You were here for a short time , but your impression is here forever. Thank you for all of your wonderful talent. God Speed 🙏
A GREAT MAN AND SINGER
I really had no idea at all about Waylon Jennings! My ex-husband just loved him! Thank you very much! He went through a lot to be sure!
Read his book. And Jesse wrote a book sbout her life with him. Those 2 books are amazing
My favorite singer
Jess is a strong woman. To watch not only the drug issue, the diabetic, etc. Shes a great person.
Waylon Nr1. RIP Legend
THE best EVER
He was great on the hooked up with The Highwaymen. He is another great talent that is missed
mabye he found Buddy, Richie and Bopper
He always felt responsible for that crash
God Bless You Waylon! Tough life and a tuff man.R.I.P.
One of the best country singers ever waylon the outlaw he was amazing country singer good upload r.i p
I saw him a few times when he and Willie Nelson opened for the Grateful Dead. Great shows!! R.I.P. Dude Peace
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around
Nice
And around and around...around.......... ( None better than Waylon )
Randy travis
And around and around and around and around....
That was best and loneliest line in that beautiful song.
The beat goes on!
God bless Waylon.
Rose in paradise is just a really great song...
Play it almost daily. You have excellent taste in music.
@@poursomebeeronit I know I’m late but thanks! It’s very... everywhere and all over the place but I am a country girl to the core
He was 64 when he died 1937-2002
Yup. Nice Handle BTW.
@@spooge33 Thank you ❤️🏁🏁🏁
This was a very well produced video. Thank you.
There was nothing great about lies ...Waylon NEVER ever went to rehab and half of the shit he said in it was lies..and people believe it..i hope they get sued..
When I was barely 12 years old. The first album I ever bought was, Music Man by Waylon. Them good ol Duke boys made it happen. RIP. You never could toe the mark. And you never could walk the line. ✊
The first album I ever bought my life was Waylon and Willie.
George Jones.... Waylon.... And the boys we miss and love you allllllll.....
RIP, Waylon.
Addiction is horrific. I thank God that I don't suffer from it
Alcohol, drugs, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking no wonder he needed a triple bypass at age 51 the same thing with Johnny at age 56.
Waylon did not file bankruptcy he hired an auditor to assess where the money went and then developed a payment schedule to pay off the debt after being advised to file bankruptcy. He worked for almost a year solid and payed off all his debt.
Hello 🙂
No one could or yet can top Waylon, he didn’t care about the spot light or bling , all he ever wanted was to play his music and let his audience hear it. Thus came the name outlaw because he basically told Chet Adkins to kiss his rear
Waylon had great respect for Chet. Read Waylon's book.
No it wouldn't Chet, it was RCA that Waylon told to kiss his ass, he wouldn't be controlled by no recording company. Remember when they gave him the 25,000 dollar signing bonus, Waylon wanted to take that money and start his own recording company and someone asked him what name he would give his recording company and his reply to them was, WGJ recording company, which stands for, (Waylon Goddamn Jennings) That's just the way he was, he never let the big recording companies push him into doing something he didn't want to, Waylon was the real deal nothing fake, he was all about his fan's not the big time recording companies, if his fan's we're happy then he was happy. I heard Waylon say something once many years ago that I still believe in to this day, He said through life everyone has to have a center post to hold onto when times are bad, without that center post we will fall, his center post was Jessie and later in his life he definitely come to know that.🎸
He was quite a rock star for being a country artist
You should do an episode on Hank Jr too
RIP
Didn't he sing the theme song to "The Dukes of Hazzard?"
Yes
And he is a special guest star in one episode
Narrator also
You sure did
Just a good ol boy never meaning no harm, beats all you never saw been in trouble with the law since the day he was born. Ye haw
He walked out on that sleaze ball tom snyder .
Got turned on to him when a friend took me to a Merle Haggard show at the Carlton in Minneapolis in '84---only they announced Merle "couldnt make it" but his friend Waylon Jennings would be filling in for him....huh? I never looked back after hearing and seeing him in person---Haggard was good, Waylon?---Fricking Great...RIP WJ.
Numb is loosing yourself because his soul loves his country and people the sacrifice to make smiles respect love for humans who want you to feel happiness they need it too amen women and all beautiful genders
Great Man
Waylon Jennings George Jones merle haggard johnny cas golden treasure of country music legends and willie Nelson and always will be in my books.thay new what country music was not what on county raido to day .nobody' will fill there shoes.that for sure oct 2020
You're right on that they were and are the greatest ever
GREAT MAN!!!!!!!!❤❤❤U.S.A. ALL THE WAY❤❤❤!!!!!!!
I ain't livin' long like this..
No one will believe me and my brother played a show where we opened up for shooter and all the equipment we helped unload was waylons bands stuff!
Dion "remembers" that since he was one of the headliners on that tour (he was) that HE was supposed to be on the plane but gave up his seat. But I don't think it plays that way since Waylon and Tommy Allsup were doing duty as Holly's band. This narration sounds more correct than that Holly would have hired the plane for the "headliners".
Yeah, straight up SAD! rip
1) Waylon never went to Betty Ford
Just a good ol boy never meaning no harm beats all you never saw been in trouble with the law since the day he was born.
Yeeeeee hawwww
That's hard life the world watching you
Diabetic. So sad. Jess, stood by her man. I wish, i could meet her, someday. Shes a very string woman. She went thru pure hell with him.
He didn't do it Hank's way. He lived a lot longer
Was actually going to play in a concert in Moorhead Minnesota
You only got one fact wrong he was 64 not 62 when he died in 2002
Waylon Jennings was good looking.
Until he reached his 40s
Wow..
Ein guter und ein ehrlicher geiler kerl🎸🤠
Welling Jennings was the first guy I ever heard sing about the Promised Land. He had a deep influence on my writing. Please listen to my tune.
"Iron American Dream" on RUclips.
Take a right across the Promised Land. Thank you Mister Jennings.
I used to live in Georgia and my boyfriend at the time was a huge fan of Waylon. Well he had a concert coming to the local fairgrounds and I was gonna take my boyfriend. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get tickets due to being on a fixed income. It wasn’t long after that when Waylon passed away and my boyfriend was devastated that we couldn’t come up with the money to get tickets.
So sorry
LyleStyle87 thank you so very much friend 🥀
I'm from his home town of Littlefield TX and I every year he would come and have a free concert. The last time I saw him he brought Johnny cash and Willie Nelson. His brother and niece have a liquor store there now. Sorry you didn't get to see him.
Allen Miraval that’s so cool. Thank you for sharing that information. I almost was able to see Shooter in concert in North Carolina but the concert sold out really quick. You’re so fortunate to have seen Waylon, Johnny and Willie. I love all 3 of them and am a major country girl who loves living in the south and classic country music 👍
@@sassykaren7587 I went with my best friend to Waylons brothers gas station and all three were there playing checkers and hanging out. They were really nice and it was awesome to meet the legends.
Waylon in His Prime....... Would Embarrass All The So Called Country Singers Today and Send Em All Into Early Retirement. Lol
You sure got that right .
YES!!!!!
waylon on his deathbed with an amputated foot would embarass todays **pop/stadium** country singers. there is absolutely great country music being written and played today, just not on the radio.
The Day that Muisc died is literally a lyric in Don McLean's American Pie
Yeah everyone knows that.
@@TheYamahog12 I know I just commented that as a reminder in case of someone forgot or they didn't know
Jessie and Waylon did not "live happily ever after" - they had some really rough times until he finally kicked the cocaine. Listen to Sweet Music Man (by anyone) -- written by Kenny Rogers in the late 70s after he sat next to Jessie Coulter on a flight and heard her story. Look for a funny appearance with Waylon and Johnny Cash on The David Letterman Show.
They did make it thru the hard times and lived happily ever after..That's what Better or worse means..
I Recall A Gypsy Woman is the greatest country song of all time imo.
Shooter Jennings was the reason he quit as well
I was named after him :)
The narration about his drug bust while in the recording studio is inaccurate. Waylon noticed the warrant the DEA presented him had him listed as the owner of the studio, which is incorrect, therefore making the warrant invalid. While the agents had to wait for a new warrant, Waylon's drummer Ritchie Albright gathered all the drugs in the studio and flushed them down the toilet. The DEA agents knew they had nothing on him, but preceded to arrest Waylon anyway outta spite for a failed bust.. All charges were later dropped during a preliminary hearing. I mean seriously, I know this is made solely for views, but honestly, whoever did the research on this video is terrible. All they had to do was listen to Waylon's song 'Outlaw Sh*t' for a more accurate bit of research material.. Smh....
I agree.
Waylon wrote a book. His son wrote a book. His wife wrote a book! It's not exactly difficult to find accurate information about Waylon!
Waylon wasn't perfect but he was very honest
He had a great voice and earned his title as a Country music legend R.I.P. Waylon I know your playing music with buddy Holly in heaven catching up on lost time
Ain’t living long like this! Am I baby?
A lot of things are wrong in this article-- facts are important
Agreed
He died at 64 not 62. He also did not go to Betty Ford but decided to go to Arizona and go cold turkey with just Jessi and Shooter with him. He did not declare bankruptcy but spent 2 years digging out of debt.
@@user-kv3zi8bo5o wtf are you writing about.
Tragic ending.
The goat
He was 64, not 62 when he died.
Waylon never went to the Betty Ford Center for his addiction to cocaine, that's completely false. He went to Arizona and leased a house and he did a month long detox and ended up quitting.
Alcohol, drugs, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking no wonder he needed a triple bypass at age 51 the same thing with Johnny at age 56.
@@eivindgjengstjohansen9625 Yeah, that hard living gave us so much great music. Obviously I wish he hadn’t done it and he still might be with us. But he will always be remembered as a Legend.
Waylon was 64 when he died
Blockages in the heart to my knowledge is not a direct aresult of cocaine use, I've had a few family and friends who suffered heart blockages and never in their lives done cocaine nor drank. Bring on the know-it-all and Dr's without degrees to put me in my place :) seriously. I suffer from heart disease and I have never ever consumed a drug of cocaine or heroin, meth ,,, smoked a little weed but that's it. Waylon lived a life in between the fast lanes ,took the blame when it was warranted, however dont place the needless blame of off the wall crap ,, he done plenty without making chit up .
Alcohol, drugs, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking no wonder he needed a triple bypass at age 51 the same thing with Johnny at age 56.
Sparkling brown eyes, you aint heard it your missin out
❤️👋
He never got caught with that cocaine. I don't believe he ever went to rehab either. There's a few details not quite right in this video.
Your right..a pack of lies..
So many untruths in here-- if your going to do a story do some research -- facts matter!
They had a search warrant for his apt. not the studio. But the mailman knew where to deliver packages to Waylon. So the search warrant listed the wrong place. As the agents came in to the studio, Waylon threw the envelope figuring what it must be. It went perfectly under the wall that didn't come down flush with the floor. As Waylon was talking to the agents, Richie Albright came out of the bathroom, with the toilet flushing...Not knowing who received the cocaine, or if anyone expected it, no charges were filed.
@@bransonmcdonald3420 Yep, the song "Outlaw Shit" tells the story.
