    Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven, and was given a guitar at the age of nine. He married his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion, in 1950, and was divorced in 1951. He served in the United States Marine Corps and was discharged in 1953. He married Shirley Ann Corley in 1954. In 1959, Jones recorded "White Lightning", written by J. P. Richardson, which launched his career as a singer. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1968; he married fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette a year later. Years of alcoholism compromised his health and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones". After his divorce from Wynette in 1975, Jones married his fourth wife, Nancy Sepulvado, in 1983 and became sober for good in 1999. Jones died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure.
    George Jones has been called "The Rolls Royce Of Country Music" and had more than 160 chart singles to his name from 1955 until his death in 2013. Johnny Cash once said, "When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, 'You mean besides George Jones?'" celebrity graves grave of little jimmy dickens grave of tammy wynette nashville cemetery tour mausoleum

    Got a little tie in here from my past. I worked for a man in Nashville for several years that had some ties to the music scene. He and little Jimmy were buddies. My boss put on a MASSIVE Christmas light display annually at his house. Those in the area may know who I'm talking about. He would also provide lights at Mr. Dickens home as well. Jerry Chestnut was a neighbor of his. Johnny Paycheck had a sort of working relationship with him as well

    They must have moved Tammy Wynette from her original burial spot which was on her husband's (George Ritchie) land. He locked her grave up and wouldn't allow any of her daughters to visit her grave. I'm glad that she is no where near him now.

    @2:43 there was Lynn Anderson right behind you in the mausoleum. You might of mentioned it and I missed it. Thanks for sharing this video. I'd like to pay my respects in person someday. It's sad that so many of them have left us. 😪 I'm glad I did get to see George Jones twice in concert though and I've seen Little Jimmy Dixson at the Grand Ole Opry once. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to see Tammy Wynette in concert, but I wish I could have.
