My ex wife had a pair of red cowgirl boots when we were married. They were autographed by numerous country western stars. We saw George Jones in concert and my wife had Jones autograph a boot. He signed just above Tammy's autograph not realizing where he had signed until my wife pointed it out. George started crying.
In the 60’s I saw George Jones and Tammy Wynette in concert at a K mart parking lot with my parents. My mother bought their album and they signed it. I have the autograph album now.
What an amazing duo Jones and Tammy were. When they sing even the birds stop to listen. Tammy was destined for success. That woman was unstoppable. Read Georgette’s book titled ‘The Three of Us’
Her husband beat her. That is practically a no brainer. Even as an 11 year old hearing the story of the kidnapping sounded fishy. I couldn't get past the "Kidnapper" "beat her while she was driving". Seemed idiotic. Beat the driver who could crash and kill both.
Hell yes George Richey beat her, he also beat her children out of their money when she died. George Richey never fooled me, I could always see how evil he was. Sadly, Tammy never found true love in her life.
How TERRIBLE! ....and very SAD! HOW many more beautiful years she could've had?.... AND the losses to her daughters.... WHY this EVIL IS allowed???...smh
I was a little kid when this happened and I remember at least one family member who seemed comvinced it was Richey who beat her and staged the kidnapping as a coverup.
A very good book about Tammy is called Tragic Country Queen. George Richey Abused her!! He made Tammy make up the kidnapping story after he beat her!!!
I worked at a hospital in St. Louis and Tammy was in and out of it for about a year before she died. It was rumored the her husband had abused her and damaged her digestive system
Tammy said in an interview once that she hid all the car keys. (They had a whole fleet of Cadillacs.) So George went to the liquor store on a riding lawn mower.
I know many drunk drivers that went out and bought "Nothing Rins Like a Deer John Deer Riding Lawn Tractors" because of George Jones. "Gotta Get to the Bar Somehow, and George Showed Us How.'
Your very mistaken about her last husbands effect on her career.Once he took over from Billy Sherrill her ability to break through the top 10 on the charts ceased. His choices for songs and music arrangements limited her greatly. Tammy had a sound that fans knew and loved. Billy Sherrill understood that and she was very successful in the late 60's and all through the 70's.
I lived in Fulton Mississippi in the late 90s and I remember hearing about the death of Tammy's first husband, Euple Byrd (my mistake). I saw her tour bus pull into a grocery store parking lot where she got into a car with someone else. I'm assuming it was to go up to Red Bay Alabama where Euples funeral was to be held. She died not long after that.
Just a side note, bout absolutely true. My aunt and uncle lived on Patten flats in Tremont Mississippi and she had dinner at their house the day before she married Euple. Mississippi state highway 23 between Tremont and the Alabama state line is called Tammy Wynette memorial highway.
He was at (new) Senters right on Adams in Fulton for visitation n burial was at Hillcrest just barely off 25 past the national guard, also in Fulton. ATM I just don't recall the service with it being over 25 years ago but I'm thinking it was at Senters as well. I don't remember having visitation at Senters in fulton, driving to red bay for service n back to east Fulton at Hillcrest for burial. That doesn't make any sense to me, although I have heard of crazier at funerals. But, I'm fairly sure it was all at Senters though.
Richey not only beat her and probably often he also gave her more pain killers then needed to get rid of her. May she of found peace after life and may Richey of found hell after his life
No her husband beat her! I think Richie was a jealous controlling man and Wynette didn’t see the true man until it was to late. Hopefully she is in heaven now with so many people she loved in her life, one of those people being George Jones.
Suggestions: What Happened To Kay Lenz? What Happened To Tippy Walker? (Former Child Actress of the 1960s) The Tragic Life and Sad Ending of Tim Hovey (Former Child Star Turned Band Manager)
It wasn’t a kidnapping it was supposed to be a carjacking but that was the story that Tammy & George told, one of Tammy’s daughters said on Autopsy: The Last Days Of Tammy Wynette.
I lived there at the time. It was common knowledge how Tammy’s situation was deteriorating. Also common knowledge about what a control freak George Richey was. No one believed the story about the kidnapping, therefore a shadow was thrown on Richey. Tammy had many serious medical problems which no doubt led to opiate use. She was in and out of the hospital frequently, common knowledge. Tammy was loved by all no matter what.
Many people will say, it was a different time. If you're own husband abducted you, sadly, it wasn't considered kidnapping. In fact, until 1993, it wasn't illegal in all 50 states for a husband to rape his wife. Again, this was a time when a woman needed her husband's written permission to open a credit account. I'm glad, as I woman, I was born in a more progressive era
I believe her daughter about the abuse and threats, and that last George fought her daughters in court for ALL of her estate, family pictures, her jewelry, trophies, rugs, furniture, he sold the house for some more bank, it's too bad she wasn't as happy as she looked, and her daughters had to go to court, he wouldn't even let them have their pictures
that just proves there was something wrong with the whole scenero. why would he want to keep family photos who were not his family or jewelery he couldnt wear.....that is atrocious
He was abusive also to his previous 2 wives. I will add, at that time, it was not a thing to do background checks, or a medical history even. That's also how my grandpa got away with so much himself. I will also add again, that whole she was mailed to Jones, richey also broke into her home, and would start fires and write mean things all over her home. After she married richey it all stopped.
Because of her childhood. The child labor was rough, very unstable home, father died when she was a baby... She's just one of those that tried to cling onto something too quickly for stability and care and to make up for the male figure she always lacked.
Too bad she didn't have the strength to viciously beat her man with wire coat hangers while he's in a passed out drunken stupor... I kept many a mans hands off me by neeking up on him after . I believe "a real lady knows when to shut up" but I am NO ones punching bag
George Richie beat her after learning Tammy had an affair with George Jones after a show that they both duet in. Tammy had a huge jealous issue with Nancy. Even though she remarried twice after George jones. She thought George would get his life back in order and they will get together once again. But George and Tammy had been together several time while being married with other people.
I loved Tammy Wynette I love her songs and music she was a beautiful singer and a fantastic lady,I did love her and George Jones duets when they sang together it was like magic ,I know she loved George Jones a lot to bad it didn’t last,when Tammy died they lost another fantastic country singer ,I don’t know to music about George Ritchie but if he did that to her he shore wasn’t very much of a man ,he will pay for what he don to her god love you Tammy rip
Tammy's problem was she didn't know how to live without a man! So ... a horrible man was better than being alone! She was prey to men like george richey (who made off with most of her estate btw)!!
I read about this some years ago and most of it about her is probably true sometime we have images of people and it’s hard for a person to live up to a image
It was all to cover up because, George Ritchie beat her and then, turned around and blackmailed her, that was why she dropped the charges, he was bully.
Nope not kidnapped I remember people talking about this and nobody ever believed it was what was told. Ritchey had her that long because of drugs and using the needle.
I don't know if George Richey beat her, but i still think its possible. She had a traill of abusive marriages and drug problems. She was a great country singer and she will always be one. I still listen to her music and i always will.
I think George Ritchie mistreated Tammy. Wynette and took her and hurt her so he would have everything she had he didn't love her like he said he did 😊
George richey got exactly what he wanted . All of what she worked for all her life , he should have got something done to him for keeping he children’s eastate Tammy Wynette worked to make sure her children had what they needed and that idiot should have been locked away for murder
It's a very sad thing to happen to the Beautiful, Talented Writer / Singer. I'm sceptical about been kidnapped outside of her home yet I believe she was abused brutally indoors and it was covered up for that reason. R.I.P. Tammy your at peace now. God Bless your sweet heart ❤️💐🌟
If the names were changed in this story, anyone could come to the conclusion that, after 5 marriages, maybe the wife was the toxic one. Substance abuse does that. Not wanting to be cruel (I loved her music) but I'm not too close to not see other possibilities.
Official cause of death An autopsy performed on the exhumed body of Tammy Wynette showed the country singer died of heart failure caused by damage from repeated blood clots. Not drug overdose
Tammy had a great voice but as the movie George and Tammy pointed out she was no saint like the movie stand by your man made her out to be. She was a chain smoker and a drug addict and a cheater.

Yes I've known when i frist herd about it that he did it never like him
You should do a Bob Dylan video!
You know that first pick of a couple is George Jones not the guy you mentioned
My ex wife had a pair of red cowgirl boots when we were married. They were autographed by numerous country western stars. We saw George Jones in concert and my wife had Jones autograph a boot. He signed just above Tammy's autograph not realizing where he had signed until my wife pointed it out. George started crying.
The Possum had a heart.
George loved Tammy. He had always loved Tammy. But they, literally, were oil and water.
What an incredibly moving story! Soul mates....with just too much junk in the way!
I bet those boots are worth a fortune now
@@MyCowDiedSoiDontNeedUrBull I doubt it. Every autograph would have to be verified by an expert.
I think...you should know the difference between the two George's and what they look like, when prompting their photos in your video. Best wishes.
Yea that was George Jones
All I know about Tammy is that she sang one of the greatest country songs of all time.
Duffy Sullivan. That voice!
In the 60’s I saw George Jones and Tammy Wynette in concert at a K mart parking lot with my parents. My mother bought their album and they signed it. I have the autograph album now.
Such memories, thank you for sharing! What other types of videos would you like to see?
Nice
George Jones never stopped loving her! But he also never stopped drinking while they were married! Sad!
I believe they would have lasted if he had been able to stop drinking during their marriage.
I bet it broke Jones heart when he found the truth out, about who it was that had done the beating on Wynette!
Yeah HIM
Jones beat her too.
What makes you think he did?
@@randyharris3175 It was Ritchie, not Jones. Ppl can't get the facts straight. Ritchie also killed her.
She is one of my favorite singers! And I will always listen to her! Just like all the other ones that have gone to Heaven!
Thanks for watching!
@@FactsVerse I love when they have stories about country and western singer?

I wish Tammy could have been happy in her final years. George Richey sounds like a very evil man!!
Her husband beat her. That is practically a no brainer. Even as an 11 year old hearing the story of the kidnapping sounded fishy. I couldn't get past the "Kidnapper" "beat her while she was driving". Seemed idiotic. Beat the driver who could crash and kill both.
My husband beat the crap out of me, while I was driving. Never underestimate a rage disorder.
My husband beat me when I was driving once. Drunk people will do stupid things.
Hell yes George Richey beat her, he also beat her children out of their money when she died. George Richey never fooled me, I could always see how evil he was. Sadly, Tammy never found true love in her life.
How TERRIBLE! ....and very SAD! HOW many more beautiful years she could've had?.... AND the losses to her daughters.... WHY this EVIL IS allowed???...smh
Poor Tammy basically went from one bag of shit to the next....there are a few good guys....but very few.
I dont think Tammy would have left her children out of her will. I think you are right Brad
He used and abused her, he was an SOB, that was the worst thing for her marrying him, he was injecting her with dope. I think he killed her.
💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😰
I was a little kid when this happened and I remember at least one family member who seemed comvinced it was Richey who beat her and staged the kidnapping as a coverup.
One of her daughters gave an interview in which she said Richey did beat up Tammy. I believe he was responsible for her death, too.
A very good book about Tammy is called Tragic Country Queen. George Richey Abused her!! He made Tammy make up the kidnapping story after he beat her!!!
George Jones,and George Ritchie,treated her like shit.
Richy couldn’t get over the fact that Tammy was still in love with George. George and Tammy still loved each other.
I worked at a hospital in St. Louis and Tammy was in and out of it for about a year before she died. It was rumored the her husband had abused her and damaged her digestive system
When she died the newspaper said Tammy had stomach problems and was laying on a sofa awaiting for medicine to be delivered.
Yes, that happens, same thing happened to one of my aunts.

I love Tammy and George Jones I believe they were truely in love .
No one ever believed that crazy story...truth came out later ..it was to bizarre..poor soul...
George Jones should have been hired to endorce lawn tractors. When he lost his driver's license he used his tractor to go to bars and liquor stores.
Tammy said in an interview once that she hid all the car keys. (They had a whole fleet of Cadillacs.) So George went to the liquor store on a riding lawn mower.
He made fun of himself in a music video, riding a lawnmower.

Correction. SOME women put up with too much.
George Richey murdered Tammy Wynette, Naomi Judd said so
Regardless she was kidnapped but it was by her husband

@@cherylc4468.......THAT IS EVIL !!! GOD HAS A SPECIAL PLACE FOR A MONSTER NAMED GEORGE RICHEY!!! S. O . B .
That's absolutely horrible for those children 😢😢
Its pretty crappy to make it look like Tammy was on cocaine, when it was an addiction to pain killers because of serious health issues causing pain.
Even if she was kidnapped by a total stranger, I still believe she was being abused at home.
She was. They already established that. Duh
He killed her in my opinion 🤔.
George Richey? Yes; he more than metaphorically killed Wynette.
I loved Tammy🥰🥰🥰. It us none of our business. Rest in peace Tammy🙏🥰🥰
If it's none of your business why did you click on the video? And falsely reporting a crime is a felony. It is our business.

How come someone in Nashville didn't take this yap to the Train Station
I agree
Tammy chose those rough and abusive husbands. I wonder why? She seemed to do well on her own.
That is always the 65000 dollar question; isn't it...why?
Because of her childhood. The child labor was rough, very unstable home, father died when she was a baby... She's just one of those that tried to cling onto something too quickly for stability and care and to make up for the male figure she always lacked.

She was addicted to drugs and, the men she was with were alcoholics and wife beaters!
Understandable
He also killed her. I think he did it on purpose!!!
No I don't believe she was kidnapped.

Hello
How everything
Everyone likes price is right
It's a very sad thing to happen to the Beautiful, Talented Writer / Singer. I'm sceptical about been kidnapped outside of her home yet I believe she was abused brutally indoors and it was covered up for that reason. R.I.P. Tammy your at peace now. God Bless your sweet heart ❤️💐🌟
Ty so much you are sweet heart too
No
You never know....
Yes I do."..by her "husband" George Richie....ugggg
George Ritchie seemed evil
who was there? So no one knows!
You obviously went to some type of journalism school, because you have a lot of ways of saying the same thing over and over
its believable
She. Should. Never. Got. Married. Join a. Service. Long. Time. Ago.
WHAT DRUG ??
those facts are not all true.
Why. Tammy marry when. She. 17. For?
Yes I think her husband beat her. However I don’t think she died of a drug overdose. She just had surgery and there were complications from that..
If the names were changed in this story, anyone could come to the conclusion that, after 5 marriages, maybe the wife was the toxic one. Substance abuse does that.
Not wanting to be cruel (I loved her music) but I'm not too close to not see other possibilities.
Also being on the road touring, and being able to be home everyday, could cause some of the divorces.
This man should be ashamed of treating Tammy’s children like he did , I didn’t care for him and he married his cousin how stupid is he😊
Official cause of death An autopsy performed on the exhumed body of Tammy Wynette showed the country singer died of heart failure caused by damage from repeated blood clots. Not drug overdose
How is he able to beat her and inflict those bruises on her while she is driving and he's in the back seat and avoid a car accident?
That's the point, it's one of the things that didn't add up, it didn't happen.
Tammy had a great voice but as the movie George and Tammy pointed out she was no saint like the movie stand by your man made her out to be. She was a chain smoker and a drug addict and a cheater.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Be safe and enjoy the rest of your evening!
Let me guess….she was a conservative. Why else would you show this?
It doesn't matter where she stood politically even liberals go through abusive relationships not just conservatives.
Let me guess, You have an IQ of between 2 and 4.
No actually when I was 21 it was tested to be 90. I know of liberals who have gone through abusive relationships.
I couldn't stand her voice.. Whining, and whimpering Whynett.
You don't know talent then.
GET OUT OF THE DISCUSSION THEN!!!!!
Blood clot killed her not drugs so that's wrong..
