She has a beautiful voice. I'm glad she turned her life around before she passed. Just an example of God's grace and your never to old to ask him for forgiveness.
What a dispicable thing to say.. god is why they didndrugs and beat ppl.. hated blacks and stole things.. it was gods will.. what a dispicable thing to say..
I knew Norma Jean. This was taken at Charleston Arbors where she lived and Jesco also lived for awhile. She was the sweetest person. When I visited my aunts there, we all used to go to the community room and talk and sing sometimes. Some people thought we were nuts but it was all in fun. We sure miss you Norma Jean. You are singing with the angels now. Love you eternally our friend.
That's our WV accent, soft & musical. Everyone wants us to be ashamed of our heritage. They call us hillbillies. WV was very isolated before cars. Our language originated from Elizabethan English. The settlers here were Scots Irish & German. The accents are fading now. I enjoy heading older WV talk.
"I always had that in my testimony at church, to build my mansion next door to Jesus, because I don't say much in church. But every time I go to church, that's my testimony." How sweet. RIP Ms Norma Jean!
I knew Norma Jean. This was filmed at her apartment at Charleston Arbors in Charleston, WV. She was such a sweet and loving person. She and Jesco both lived at Charleston Arbors at one time,but not together..I really miss her. RIP Norma Jean.
@baldor traveler I think you two need ta eat some gal darn sloppy, slimy, ass eggs ta'gether, and get a fuckin room or something. Just kidding, I actually that you, as well as Peter, whatever his name, because I get a kick of people arguing in comment sections. I'm a simpleton.
Say something about the inner city people that NEVER change. THESE people did. AND the ones who changed for the better left the ones who didn't behind.
Wow -- I know this lady was ridden hard and put up wet as we say in the south. I would have loved her and she reminds me of SOOOO many people I grew up around here in the NC mountains. May she rest in peace indeed. I'm not saying she wasn't wild in her day but believe me I understand how it can happen in these places and that doesn't make her one bit less of a person to me.
@@CaddyShrimp8 Then you’d be my guess on toward and beyond Mitchell , Sylvia ? I’m too here and no doubt I’ve known many people of such personas . Can’t deny I myself been in juke joint 30+ yrs ago & raising cane . Settled for a good while now . Dues paid & good bad& ugly memories. My desires to be liken Norma was . My sites on my family & The Lord . Tho admittedly some of the old ways remain inside me. Looking back , I wonder if Jesco was ever in a hole n the wall joint a group of us went to. There was to be an Elvis impersonator there that night. The yr Norma passed , was the last time I bashed at Fines Creek for Blue grass festival . I can resonate with much of her life. Im glad it’s all in the past now .
She actually sings good. They sure live different down there. I can listen to their stories forever. They are fasinating. I'm not putting them down, it's just what they know. Their not bad people, they lived that way forever.
The stories about the royals are far worse, and they have no honesty at all. The good thing about the whites is they’re honest and they tell you they know what they’re doing isn’t right. They don’t deceive you.
No, people like THEM live a hard but simple life. These people do not....... Let me repeat that..... Do NOT represent West Virginia. They represent themselves and anyone else that doesn't know the meaning of an education, hard work, values, morals, respect and dignity.
That doll standing to her right. Its featured in the Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia at Bertie Mae's party....I thought it was a gift then...interesting. I didnt think they were Catholic.
They weren't Catholic. They were evangelical Christians. Those songs she sang weren't Catholic at all. Norma was a wonderful lady. She was obviously simple but had a heart of gold.
When they lived over there they still remained good friends. She did have a rough life but like she said she chose that. She did a complete 360 but still was there for Jesco as he was for her. Hank 111 used to come see them both but I missed him everytime. Jesco is a good person too when his wild side don't kick in lol.
I see she has got a dream catcher on the wall. I thought some of the family had the look of native Indians as you can see the chiselled features which gives them a good look, all be it a bit rough round the edges.
“I said, ‘If you wanna live to see tomorrow, you better start frying them eggs a little bit better than what you’re frying. I’m tired of eating sloppy, slimy eggs.’”

Amen
Amen! I'm going to try to look up that song she sang it was really pretty
Oh please
Exactly! So I will do exactly as I please and pretend to believe right at the end. God's a gullible mug.

Thank you for sharing that story. She was a real sweetheart I could tell what a heavenly boy she had
Her singing about Jesus was a blessing for me..
Me too. Fruits of the spirit. Amen. Also her words the way she speaks about greedy/people that lie is the truth of what's wrong with America.
@Sleepy3810 I suppose that means anybody can change
What a dispicable thing..

What a BEAUTIFUL VOICE, THANK GOD SHE FOUND HIM BEFORE SHE PASSED!!!
What a putrid and dispicable thing to say.. it was because of God this bullshit went down.. God's will.. did this..
my goodness I think that is absolutely the most beautiful thing I've ever heard just tears
Oh my god she's precious. What a sweet lady.
God.. eww
She seemed like a nice lady that was taken along for a ride! I see a lot of myself in her💜
Their family dynamics are wild, but also fascinating to watch!!

We saw your comment from 3 yrs earlier. No need to say it again….
I didn't haven't even been in here
Wow her voice has so much truth to it. She felt that
She had a beautiful voice, beautiful song. Theres good in all.
"We robbed people, we beat people", "When you see blood, that's what made us all happy." Yeah, she's a nice lady.

We met her a few years back with Jessie. She was a darling, a real dear.

I'm also from NC mountains, there are a lot of parallels between folks in Boone county and where I'm from.

And not the first stone was cast
Sweet voice! She should have traveled with Jesco, she could sing while Jesco boogied ❤
She slimed up Jesco's eggs once, and only once obviously. RIP Jesco's slimy eggs. Amen
Lol
Man she's had a hard life. Seems like a good lady. Seems like she's made up for her past. I can respect that. We all mess up
I love her music/voice. 🌹
what a beautiful voice.
Thanks a lot for posting this! RIP
Voice of an angel 👼 👼
What a beautiful song Norma... Both of them.
Damn, that singing made me cry...
I really wanted to meet her. What a beautiful and precious lady.

Thanks for sharing this video with us !
I didn't realize she was almost 20 years older than Jesco.
This makes sense.
Yes and his dad was completely against the relationship they had.

Wow I guess she was a Cougar from back in the day you go girl I like younger men too lol

Just except people the way they are. We are no better, because we’re different. Brothers and Sisters 🙏🏻

If you listen, you will hear similar stories from your own family, from the Royals to the Whites, were pretty much the same, ya'll laugh out loud.
The stories about the royals are far worse, and they have no honesty at all. The good thing about the whites is they’re honest and they tell you they know what they’re doing isn’t right. They don’t deceive you.
@globalmojo Thanks, and if you did this, it was a great job. I appreciate it.
2009 was a rough year for the whites .. this fine woman and pop corn both died .. so sad
Are the White's related to popcorn? He's my 3rd cousin.
and she is forgiven for her sins ....
seemed to be a sweet lady. RIP Norman Jean.you were so beautiful.
Such a sweet lady. R.I.P.
I would have loved to meet her for breakfast. Lovely lady.
@MercuryRis They're not Catholic, they just like the doll statues.
wow what a sweet lady :) she will be missed
Sounds like a Bonnie and Clyde show. What a beautiful singing voice, did she start going to church after the split btw she and Jesco? RIP Norma Jean.
damn, this house is clean!
Miss her soooo soooo much beautiful woman Amen
SHE IS SO SWEET MANNERED I WISH ALL PEOPLE WERE LIKE THE WHITE'S
People in this part of the US live a very hard, yet simple ife
No, people like THEM live a hard but simple life. These people do not....... Let me repeat that..... Do NOT represent West Virginia. They represent themselves and anyone else that doesn't know the meaning of an education, hard work, values, morals, respect and dignity.
They do represent wv years back and YES they are very good people just a hard way of life
so what you want about the family - but this lady could sing !
Her voice the way she sings reminds me of Kitty Wells. Beautiful voice!
"SAY" I meant! - typo😄
@@geekylie 😀What do you mean?
man what a great video
Wow there proud to say they beat people an robbed people an enjoyed to see there blood hard to believe this an there proud of this
Didn't really hear pride in her voice when she said that. Just telling some things about her past to a camera for a documentary.
Beautiful song

Wow,they remind me so much of my family,esp.on my grampas side.
A mansion is too big for anybody Norma. But I still hope you got it
@CisD118 She seemed so calm for being Jessco's wife, he's so wild, lol.
When they lived over there they still remained good friends. She did have a rough life but like she said she chose that. She did a complete 360 but still was there for Jesco as he was for her. Hank 111 used to come see them both but I missed him everytime. Jesco is a good person too when his wild side don't kick in lol.
Seemed like a nice Lady Reminds me of my Grandma
omg this made me tear up.
Man, she got to party with Hank III on the tour bus!
Alot of them party with 3 on the bus. But 3 actually comes there and visits and stays with them
That ending made me cry.
She seems so sweet. I don't see why the whites didn't like her. She's seems pretty normal.
Beautiful voice
Pretty voice

She always looked like she had two dips in
Norma Jean was a wonderful lady.

Holy crap, she's the older female version of Michael J. Pollard.
Only a few minutes in and I can’t watch anymore bc the interviewer doesn’t follow up with more questions to certain responses. Driving me crazy.

Sweet song

Albeit*
We love and miss ya. Priscilla
What the What? How did I get here? Oh lordy.
Very interesting
She had been in relations with Hasil and Jessco? She must be a bit nuts herself, to deal with them loonies.
Rest in Peace Norma..
Love you and understand completely
What a sweet woman. RIP darling.
That is a cool doll
Did she ever lernt how to cook them eggs?
“I said, ‘If you wanna live to see tomorrow, you better start frying them eggs a little bit better than what you’re frying. I’m tired of eating sloppy, slimy eggs.’”
I feel sorry for her having to put up with his crazy messed up ass.
God bless her.
I feel sorry for the whole family....
I can't believe it. . my grandfather died in the exact same spot. =c(
Touching.
Is that jesco sitting in the background around 1:20?
No me her granddaughter
