- The Life & Tragic Death Of Gram Parsons (1946 - 1973) What Happened To Gram Parsons?
Gram Parsons is known as the father of country-rock. With the International Submarine Band, the Byrds, and the Flying Burrito Brothers, the songwriter pioneered the concept of a rock band playing country music, and as a solo artist he moved even further into the country realm, blending the two genres to the point that they became indistinguishable from each other. While he was alive, Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to the Byrds. In the years since his death, his stature has only grown, as numerous rock and country artists build on his small, but enormously influential, body of work.
Gram Parsons was born Cecil Ingram Connor on November 5, 1946. He was the grandson of John Snivley, who owned roughly one-third of all the citrus fields in Florida, and the son of Coon Dog Connor, an Air Force veteran who owned a box-making factory in Waycross, Georgia.
As a child, Parsons learned how to play the piano at the age of nine, the same year he saw Elvis Presley perform at his school; following the seminal performance, Parsons decided to become a musician. When he was 12, Parsons' father committed suicide, and the family moved in with Parsons' grandparents in Winter Haven, FL. A year after the move, his mother married Robert Parsons; Gram was then adopted by his stepfather, and the child legally changed his name to Gram Parsons.
The Truth About Gram Parsons (1946 - 1973) Gram Parsons Life Story
At the age of 14, Parsons began playing in the local rock & roll band the Pacers, which evolved into the Legends. During its time together, the Legends featured Jim Stafford and Kent Lavoie, who would later come to fame under the name Lobo. In 1963, Parsons formed a folk group called the Shilos who performed throughout Florida and cut several demos. He graduated from high school two years later; on the same day he graduated, however, his mother died of alcohol poisoning.
Following his graduation, Gram Parsons enrolled at Harvard to study theology. He only spent one semester at Harvard, during which time he devoted more energy to playing music than attending classes. Meanwhile, he also formed the International Submarine Band with guitarist John Nuese, bassist Ian Dunlop and drummer Mickey Gauvin. After he dropped out of college, Parsons moved to New York City with the International Submarine Band in 1966.

Gram Parsons' contributions to the country rock genre are truly remarkable. His work with The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers, as well as his solo albums, showcased his immense talent and creativity.
Agree! RIP Gram Parsons
The video paints a vivid picture of Gram Parsons' incredible life journey. From his early days with The Byrds to his solo career and his untimely passing, his story is one of musical innovation and heart-wrenching tragedy.
RIP Gram Parsons
Brass Buttons is a perfect song and it describes how much Gram loved his mother. It's a very touching song and never gets old too me.
RIP Gram Parsons
Thank you for sharing this video, it's a wonderful tribute to Gram Parsons' extraordinary life story. His journey, marked by a passion for music and a thirst for adventure, continues to inspire generations.
Glad you enjoyed it. RIP Gram Parsons
One of the best succinct overviews of GP I've come across. Ty!
The only way to fully appreciate Gram's music is to know his back story.
You can hear the genuine heartbreak & pure raw emotion in his voice in practically every song in his solo career save "Hickory Wind" (which he wrote), he can bring melancholy 💔to anyone that knows his story😢 that is rivaled by no one else. His works are like an "experience" of him & his life. ❤R. I. P. Gram❤
Thank you Tracy. Well said and RIP Gram Parsons.
Jim Stafford said of his old friend Gram, "The duet Love Hurts with Emmylou Harris contains all the pain of Gram's young life."
It's heartbreaking to think about the potential Gram Parsons had in the world of music. His mysterious and tragic death only adds to the mystique of his life and career.
RIP Gram Parsons
A very well done video. "Guilded Palace" I would put in the top ten albums ever made, along with "Sweetheart of the Rodeo."
Much appreciated Brad. Thank you. RIP Gram Parsons
Gram was just about a month or so away from being in the 27 club. My fav would be Hickory Wind with Emmylou.
Hickory Wind is such a great song... Yes, RIP Gram Parsons
Gram Parsons' story is a cautionary tale about the perils of fame and substance abuse. His music will always be celebrated, but his personal struggles serve as a sobering reminder of the cost of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle.
RIP Gram Parsons
Given the early loss of both his parents, I'm afraid Gram would have succumbed to substance abuse (self medication) even if he'd had an ordinary job.
RIP Gram Parsons@@margaretross9150
Agreed!@@margaretross9150
