Rabbitt was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1941, and was raised in the nearby community of East Orange, New Jersey. By age 12, Rabbitt was a proficient guitar player, having been taught by his scoutmaster, Bob Scwickrath. During his childhood Rabbitt became a self-proclaimed "walking encyclopedia of country music". After his parents divorced, he dropped out of school at age 16.
Rabbitt worked as a mental hospital attendant in the late 1950s, he fulfilled his love of music by performing at the Six Steps Down club in his hometown. He later won a talent contest and was given an hour of Saturday night radio show time to broadcast a live performance from a bar in Paterson, New Jersey.
In 1964, he signed his first record deal with 20th Century Records and released the singles "Next to the Note" and "Six Nights and Seven Days". Four years later, with $1,000 to his name, Rabbitt moved to Nashville, where he began his career as a songwriter. During his first night in the town, Rabbitt wrote "Working My Way Up to the Bottom", which Roy Drusky recorded in 1968.
To support himself, Rabbitt worked as a truck driver, soda jerk and fruit picker in Nashville. He was ultimately hired as a staff writer for the Hill & Range Publishing Company for $37.50 per week.
Rabbitt became successful as a songwriter in 1969, when Elvis Presley recorded his song "Kentucky Rain". The song went gold and cast Rabbitt as one of Nashville's leading young songwriters. he penned "Pure Love", which Ronnie Milsap rode to number one in 1974. This song led to a contract offer from Elektra Records.
Rabbitt signed with Elektra Records in 1975. His first single under that label, "You Get to Me", made the top 40 that year, and two songs in 1975, "Forgive and Forget" and "I Should Have Married You", nearly made the top 10.
In 1976, his critically acclaimed album Rocky Mountain Music was released, which included Rabbitt's first number-one country hit, "Drinkin' My Baby (Off My Mind)".
In 1977, his third album, Rabbitt, was released, and made the top five on Country Albums chart. Also in 1977, the Academy of Country Music named Rabbitt "Top New Male Vocalist of the Year”.
Rabbitt's next album, Horizon, reached platinum status and contained the biggest crossover hits of his career, "I Love a Rainy Night" and "Drivin' My Life Away." Rabbitt developed "Rainy Night" from a song fragment he penned during a 1960s thunderstorm.
During the 1980s, Rabbitt moved further from crossover-styled music. His 1984 album The Best Year of My Life produced a number-one country hit and three more top-10 country hits, but none had crossover success. The illness and subsequent death of his son put his career on hold following the 1985 RCA Records release Rabbitt Trax, which included the number one "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)", a duet with country pop star Juice Newton. Like "You and I", the song was used as the theme for a soap opera, Days of Our Lives.
Rabbitt's Capitol Records album Jersey Boy was reviewed positively, as was its single "On Second Thought", Rabbitt's last number-one hit. The album also included "American Boy", a patriotic tune popular during the Gulf War and used in Bob Dole's 1996 presidential campaign.
In 1997, Rabbitt signed with Intersound Records, but was soon diagnosed with lung cancer.
Rabbitt, a longtime smoker, died on May 7, 1998, in Nashville from lung cancer at the age of 56. He had been diagnosed with the disease in March 1997 and had received radiation treatment and surgery to remove part of one lung.

Timeless music. His memory will live on forever. RIP Eddie Rabbitt.
Feel good music with wonderful messages. Eddie will always live in our hearts
Love his music. I was in my 20's, living in Los Angeles, and fell in love with country music when Every Which Way But Loose, the music and the film, came out. It was a mystery to me about his whereabouts until today. Thank you for this video. May God bless and keep you, Eddie Rabbitt.
Where was country music star Eddie rabbit buried at 😮. Pam Johnson
Great video! I met Eddie Rabbitt in Albuquerque back in the 80s, and he couldn't have been nicer to myself, and more importantly to my mom! When she was alive, Elvis, and Eddie Rabbitt were her favorites! He was great to us that night! Thanks again my friend!!🙂🤝 I look forward to watching alot more of your videos!
They say all Irishmen are born poets and musicians....Eddie was truly gifted and had a gentle heart.....RIP Mr. Song Man
Loved his music R.I.P Eddie
Eddie Rabbit is my favorite country singer my favorite song of his is I love the rainy night
I love that song also
My mom love that song to he was a good soul meet in person my mom did
Wow! Eddie Rabbit has been gone a long time ⌛️ I remember he had a young son who died. So sad 😞 Loved his songs 🎵 Saw him in person a few times. Thanks for showing Eddie and little Timothy's graves. 🙏 💕
He wrote a sing for his wife called Sweet Janine. Listen to it, it’s beautiful !
I love his song I love a rainy night❤️Rest In Peace Eddie Rabbit💐🙏
I remember Eddie rabbits song driving my life away when I was a little kid around 1980 when that song was on the radio I would tell them to turn it up and try to sing all the words to the song,I love a rainy night was a good one also, it's so hard to believe he's been gone for 20+ years there are so many gone!
I cannot believe he's been gone for so long. Loved growing up to his music. You really informed me of things I had no idea about. Thank you 😊
Good to see Eddy Rabbits resting place. RIP
I always loved his music. " I love a rainy night" and "Every which way but loose" are a big part of my childhood. Thank you for sharing this!
Kentucky rain ❤
I remember when his child past away. I felt so sorry for him and his wife
Psst away?? I think you mean PASSED away
Rest in paradise Eddie rabbitt
My good friend cousin married Eddie Rabbit, Janine Girardi, from Philadelphia. He loved loved her and was so true to her. He met her while she attending college and I believe he was was doing a concert there. Janine was Catholic maybe that’s why he was buried in a catholic cemetery.
He said in a interview in the early 80's here on YT he was "irish catholic stock" 🤷♀️
Yes Eddie was a great performer so thanks for doing this!
My favorite song by him is you don’t love me anymore
I knew of Eddie Rabbit growing up because my dad listened to him all the time! Very cool to see his grave and also what a fantastic cemetery 👍
400 subs! You got this!
@@BackRoads1 thank you so much it is exciting!! 😊
Thanks for doing this. I loved Eddie Rabbitt.. One of my favorite is I love The Rainy Nights. It's one of those songs I could listen to over and over. I remember hearing he had passed I got sad, not shame to say, I shed a few tears. It probably wasn't until that albumn came out with I love the Rainy Nights. That I knew he was really good. I do love Rainy Nights. It's something about the sound of rain on the roof top that soothe me and I sleep like a baby. 64 Country would play Country Music 24 hours a day 7 days a week. On Sunday they did do Gospel. They showed videos. They even showed the classic videos. But like everything else they was bought out, no more country videos or music. Even the Radio that played country music, took request changed in the late 90s. Cmt changed. As the folks say the big wigs from new York came to Nashville, bought out the Country Music channels and Country Music has not been the same.. Yeah Eddie Rabbitt was one my favorites like Keith Whitley. I'm not comparing Eddie to Keith. They both died much too soon. I loved both their songs. Their music. . I mostly listen to Classic Country most radio stations have forgotten what true country music is. I'm in my early 40s. I do love some of today's country music, and some just more pop than country. Again thanks for showing is where Eddie is laid to Rest. I bought the music package that plays all kinds of Country Music. They have one channel that play all the classic music and videos if one was made. I do like some of today's country music, but some sound more pop than country. Take care. Love,respect, and positivity Always. Vee and Family.
Love Eddie... So sad he died so young and even his son!!! Thanks for doing..!!!
I didn’t know much about Eddie Rabbitt, but even over here, his song I love a rainy night was huge.

Sounds like you were on your way to figuring it out for yourself, but Mount Olivet is an amazing cemetery. All of my grandparents are buried there. Do your research and you can see that there are a ton of famous people there. Lots of family names that are central to Nashville in particular. But thanks for covering Eddie Rabbit - sadly gone too soon.

Suspicions
Lived near him in Fairview, TN. A friend of mine told a story about him visiting his mother in nearby Franklin. His mother used to to tell the residents about his Son as a Country Music Singer. They didn't believe her, then one day he walked in to see his mother and then
...they shut there mouth!
I love rocky mountain music
His songs are perfect, my first exposure to his music is back in 2019. And now, he's my all time favourite singer. Wish I was born earlier so that he's still alive but oh well, at least his songs stuck with me
Heard him in person at WORLDS OF FUN while on vacation.
One heck of a performance.
That was a great tour please keep up the good work thank you for sharing Eddie Rabbit

There is a self guided tour you can take at this cemetery
Very nice, thank you
This is going to be very interesting because I never knew what happened to Mr. rabbit back in the day! He was there and then he wasn’t.
I love Eddie Rabbit. Can't wait.
I miss him too
He wrote Kentucky Rain for Elvis and Pure Love for Ronnie Milsap I love his music he was so young when he past away Kentucky Rain is one of my favorite Elvis songs
How did he pass? Love his music
@@neurogence He tragically passed away from Lung cancer.
Yes it's pretty there
Eddie Rabbit was a great singer. But the guy talking about these famous people's graves spends more time talking about the grave yards they're in and everybody else's grave instead of the person he's there to see.
IF i ain't mistaken he gave Elvis"Kentucky rain".✌✌✌
BTW love the cemeteries with all the interesting monuments
I didn't know that he was ill with cancer and passed away from it in 1998. He was a great singer in the late 70s and 80s as a teenager in school i am 61 almost 62years old this year still love older country music now 😊 Pam Johnson McPherson ks
I don’t know if anyone else commented about this, but Vernon King Stevenson was a businessman. He was the president of the Chattanooga and Nashville railroad. He was born in Kentucky in 1812, and he died in New York City n 1884.
amazing video
Vernon Stevenson tomb was designed as "an exact replica of Napoleon's tomb in Paris." he was president of Southern Pacific Railroad. RIP Uncle Vern.
That is every sad😭
Should have been two separate videos. When you show the headstones or plaques how about focusing on them for a minute for people who are trying to read the entire thing.
