Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery is located at 660 Thompson Lane in Nashville, Tennessee. It is one of the largest cemeteries in Nashville.
Among those interred or entombed in the cemetery, there are many prominent members of the country music genre and their families.
In June 2018, Woodlawn Memorial Park Cemetery installed the "Lynn Anderson Rose Garden", consisting of 200 Lynn Anderson Hybrid Rose Bushes (named for the singer by the National Rose Society of America), as a place of reflection and meditation in honor of the star's signature song.
Tammy Wynette, born Virginia Wynette Pugh; May 5, 1942 - April 6, 1998), was an American country music singer-songwriter and one of country music's best-known artists and biggest-selling female singers. Wynette was called the "First Lady of Country Music", and her best-known song, "Stand by Your Man", is one of the best-selling hit singles by a woman in the history of country music. Many of her hits dealt with classic themes of loneliness, divorce, and the difficulties of life and relationships. During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Wynette charted 20 number-one songs on the Billboard Country Chart. Along with Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton, she is credited with having defined the role of women in country music during the 1970s.
Wynette's marriage to country music singer George Jones in 1969 created a country music "couple", following the earlier success of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Though they divorced in 1975, the couple recorded a sequence of albums and singles together that hit the charts throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.
George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 - April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer and songwriter. He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last twenty years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum" - บันเทิง

My mother dated Jimmy Dickens in the early 1940s, before he married his first wife Connie. My mother would talk about their friendship from time to time. She always said that "he was a funny and kind person."
Little Jimmy Dickens also discovered Marty Robbins when he was touring in Phoenix, Arizona and Marty Robbins was his opening act there, then later convinced him to leave Phoenix and move to Nashville to start up his own singing career.
I love Rose Garden the best country song ever!
Wow! So many famous people are buried here it's unbelievable...you could have spent an hour on George Jones alone, you are always so respectful Scott, it's why I love all your uploads.
Talk about unique and haunting voices, Marty Robins' voice gives me chills (the good kind lol).
Ok, that George Jones section blows me away. Whoever designed the layout of it was a genius! Notice how George is at the very front as if on stage, with 2 what looks to be solar powered spotlights aimed at his headstone. Smaller, more forward and off to his right is Johnny Paycheck who has a single solar powered spotlight and although you didn't show all the graves in this section, it appears that everyone else isn't a performer so they are facing both George and Johnny and none of their headstones have spotlights. It's kind of set up like a stage with the audience in front of them and spotlights on the entertainers. Clever!
I went there in 2014 seen all those grave you habe soon .. love you video's .....UK
I grew up listening 2 Hank Williams Sr, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Elvis Presley 🎶 ♥ ty 4 sharing Scott 🙏❤✌🎼🎸💔🕊
Scott I would like to thank you for the way you do your video's always showing respect to the deceased. I'am a Nashvillian and a regular follower.
God Bless
@user-vs3vu6ws5q, What is it like living in Nashville?
How could you not stop and do time at the grave of Billy Sherill? He wrote and co-wrote and produced some of the biggest country/pop hits of the last 60 years including what is condidered the greatest country song ever recorded "Stand By Your Man" with Tammy Wynette. He also produced and wrote "The Most Beautiful Girl" and "Behind Closed Doors" with Charlie Rich. He is well regarded as one of the top 5 producers/songwriters in the history of Nashville with Owen Bradley among others. IMO
Always planned on doing a part 2
I like how you stopped and viewed the details on the graves like you did Tammy Wynette's. Not hurried but respectfully done, tyfs with us 💯👏
Thank you Nettie✌🏽
It looks like her daughters have added all those lovely photos to the front of her crypt. Everyone loved Tammy Wynette.
@@ilanamillion8942 Yes, you are so right! Her daughters did an extraordinary job with the photos posted( love those photos adding a personal touch!) & so “SCOTT ON TAPE, viewing & taping the graves in this cemetery! This blog/video was so detailed & done with such respect, I so agree with everyone else that said the exact same thing! Scott included so many great country icons in this video too, which I found particularly interesting ( not just one or two graves)! What a great job “SCOTT ON TAPE” did on this video!♥️Thank-you so much!
@@SCOTTONTAPEone of my favourite and only country songs I like is Don't Rock The Jukebox by Alan Jackson
I love the Tammy Wynette grave withe all the family pictures!
Very nice video my friend!! Beautiful cemetery!! RIP all the great country singers!! Love your channel my friend!! Much love!! 🙏🙏💙💙♥️♥️✌️✌️✌️💜💜🌺🌺🥰🥰
I can't thank you enough for your videos . Being handicapped ♿ is a pain . But I keep on truckin. I do enjoy them . Thanks again Scott !!
I live in the Nashville area and George Jones was our neighbor. He would drive a really cool old car around. Nice gentleman. The Legend. ❤️
Watched this for the second time. What a beautiful cemetery. Little Jimmy Dickens has such a beautiful memorial, so elaborate with all the pictures of him in it. These kind are true pieces of art.
Thank you for your sweet comment
“Rose Garden” was no 1 on the UK hit parade when I was born in February 1970. I really appreciate these videos, they are so informative and you produce them with great care and respect.
I remember a dance remix of it by a band called Kon Kan here in Canada when I was younger introduced me to the song and I fell in love with the original after that . Thank you so much for watching Lucie!
The first country song by a female to go #1 around the world .... no small feat at the time.
it was a great song and by a great songwriter named joe south.
Oh no my friend you love and I love REAL country music not old, the so called country they play now can't hold a candle to those who wrote and played REAL country back in my youth (I'm over 50 so I should know LOL). Music is timeless it never grows old.
Not a country music fan, but I grew up listening to it. Even though I’m not a fan, they are all great in their own right. Great video.
When I was much younger, my husband and I went out partying with THE George Jones. One night out with a legend. I will never forget that time.
I love when people do Vlogs in Nashville. I live here and I absolutely love it. I’ve been here my whole life. It is an awesome place to live. I cant imagine living anywhere else. The people are amazing.
I sang all those songs you named. In Crowd, I absolutely loved!!! Dobie Grey looks a lot like Chubby Checker in the photo on his grave. Wow! I am so glad you are doing these videos.
I was so sad the day george jones died ..grew up listening to him..my mom n dad always listened to him..they were into only country music..so I know them all. Miss my mom n dad they died before george jones did
Tammy's song "Stand By Your Man" is the best song ever! I often sing it when I'm alone in the house.
I love that song…Take This Job And Shove It…..I sang that song literally to myself when I left my job for the last time being an elementary school crosswalk guard in Sept 1991 for 6 consecutive years. My parents and I moved outside of Saint John New Brunswick where there wasn’t any available crosswalk guards needed. All the students now take the school bus. Merry Xmas, Scott….love you from Annie in Quispamsis NB.
I love to look at famous country music graves.
i remember these artists growing. they were what my parents listened to
DRIFT AWAY LOVE LOVE LOVE THE BEST SONG bought it as a 45 WOW
So many talented people are buried there. Looks like a beautiful place.
I met Little Jimmy Dickens at 100 Oaks Mall in the 70's. My mom was trying on clothes and his wife was doing the same. He and my dad started talking. When we walked off, I asked my dad was that someone you work with? Then he told me who it was. (lol) Nicest guy!
What a beautiful video so respectfully executed what stunning memorials to these wonderful people thankyou 😘❤️
I loved all his songs..george jones ..but I listen to his gospel songs the most ..today
Wow, what a beautiful place George Jones has. Excellent video!
A lot of people my dad loved listening to ♥️ may they all rest in peace
So many legends. I could do a second part easily there
@@SCOTTONTAPE I'm surprised he never went there to visit before he passed
This is really a great thing you do. I have enjoyed watching these videos. Don't worry about the haters, the only reason you did not walk on graves was to keep them from caving in. Now they go into a vault in the ground so there is no chance it will cave in. I am sure these people appreciate you showing these to the world it's how we remember and pay respect. Keep doing what you do.
What a beautifull cemetary to finally rest in.
I was and still am a big Tammy Wynette fan. I was at her memorial service d but I’ve never been to her grave. You are so lucky to see her.
Wow, I really appreciate the shoutout. This video is fantastic. And that cemetery is unbelievable. If any of you enjoy visiting cemeteries, you gotta get here. Like Scott said, Nashville is an awesome city too! Great job Scott
Whittdoc are you still doing videos haven't seen any in a while hope you are ok.maybe you be back once this pandemic is over. Missed your videos.👍💯🙂 respect and positivity always. Neita James. 👋.
I did not recognize some of the names that you were showing me until you mention the names of the songs. Then right away, I went oh 0 now I know who that is! Scott I love the videos of all the graves you go too! I know you work hard to get to these places for us! I really appreciated all you do for us all. Thank you
I’ve been to this cemetery numerous times. I was surprised that Webb Pierce and Marty Robbins are buried next to each other. I signed George Jones guestbook.
Was there in 2019 ,,,,,love from Ireland 🇨🇮☘️💕
Loved seeing these legends of all time. I love all their music. Thank you for doing this, I would have never seen it if you hadn't. Much Love
I LOVE this video Scott! I always loved country music too and for a time it was all I listened to. This is definitely one place I plan on seeing once I move down there. I also can't wait to see Johnny Cash's Hideaway farm. I'm really looking forward to that! There are so many iconic people buried in this cemetery and their stones are just beautiful!
You’re going to LOVE living down there Flo. So beautiful and such a nice change of pace
Rose 🌹 garden is a fabulous song x
Drift Away is one of my all time fav's!!! Love to listen to it while driving.....singing my head off and people staring. Like I care....lol Amazing man, Dobie Gray!!

Why anyone thumb down this I don't get it lot rude people out there. I appreciated this video. N.j.👋.
May they all Rest In Peace! ♥️
My friend went to George Jones' funeral. By invitation only. What a guy! He was amazing.
I've been in there, right by Lynn Anderson's crypt is a long table set-up with photographs and other complimentary memorabilia for fans. It's very nice with a guest book just for Lynn Anderson fans, etc. They said the family opted for that vs. stuff taped to the face of her marker, etc. Very tastefully done. Tammy Wynette and Lynn Anderson were the main two I wanted to see in the mausoleum.
What a beautiful cemetery and its nice quiet and peaceful and you did amazing job scott
So many of these names I remember hearing growing up from my dad always playing them from his record collection. Wow, so many memories!!!
Great video! ❤
What a Beautiful place.Thanks
"Give me the beat, boys and free my soul. I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away."
Best song ever
Dusty Newman I have such great memories attached to this song. I was a child in the seventies
So right bro. Rog .Pacific sunset records.
I love this song!!!😍❤
I love George Jones an the mausoleums❤ thank you Scott.my favorite just recently passed .Toby Keith ,but he's buried in Oklahoma an plus Jimmy Buffett but not sure if he was cremated or buried I'm thinking he's in either the Bahamas or like Florida I'm not sure exactly where he's buried thank you Scott I love your channel❤
*Great intro,love it,this is a really sweet video,thanks so much for sharing*
Next time you visit Nashville, go to Spring Hill Cemetery. Lots of stars there. I work there so I know. It's really a pretty place.
Great video brings back memories
Thanks Scott very interesting video love watching them
I very much like the fact that you were respectful of the funeral doing on.
Great vid !!!! Love the memorial videos,,,they are so....serene, tranquil, calming ... never thought to much about death until I was so surrounded by it. The circle of life.
Awesome video! Much love! ♥
Very nice video! I always love watching your videos!
Thanks for the awesome video! Love me some George!🍻👍
Not a country music fan but respect indeed to them all 🍾🥂FOREVER LEGACY GONE IN THE FLESH BUT LEGACY IS IMMORTAL TO ALL
I just read on Wikepedia that George Jones donated the grave plot for Johnny Paycheck. Maybe that's why he's so close to George.
That is indeed why
Awesome video as always Scott! Congrats Scott ❤
Nice job Scott, it’s beautiful
Thank u may all Rest In Peace 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💕🙏🏾💕

Are you teasing me???😁 I got to wait til April😭😭😭excellent vlog , following you and whitdocs is really helping me get my bearings around areas I'm visiting, Hendersonville especially , thank you.
You are so welcome Maria I hope you have an amazing time !
As many times I've been to Nashville, I've never been to Wood Lawn. But then, the last time I was there, most of the peoples graves you showed were still alive 💙. And I saw most at The Grand Ole Opry. Thanks for sharing 🌹
Did you not see the massive "Lynn Anderson Rose Garden" installed fairly recently? It's up by the actual funeral home itself, filled with over a 100+ "Lynn Anderson Roses" (she had her own rose named for her by the Amer. Rose Soc.). It's beautiful with a big plaque with her name on it.
Love the laid
Back tone - enjoyed your video
