My brother was killed by a drunk driver in 1977,I was 15 than,it was devastating. The driver's family had lots of money and he never got convicted and didn't spend a second in jail. Since than I have never respected the United States judicial system.
💜💜💜😭
I’m so sorry for your loss. And you’re right. It’s a farce. As we see now, over and over, Money and who you are & who you know, are more important to most in power than actual human lives and accountability.
@@mamatwitch3982 but you Americans keep voting for the same people over and over and over and over again who allow that to happen…. You have nobody to blame but yourselves
So very sorry about the loss of your brother.
sorry for your loss
I remember my father telling me when I was a teenager that “nothing good happens being out after midnight.”
I always said that to my kids age 29 and 30 and now my son says it!
@@gracebryant1817 I’m 58 now, funny thing is I knew he was right as a teenager but still thought he was being too strict. When I look back, I can be nothing but thankful I made it out of my teenage years without any major catastrophes.
Been telling my kids that for years
Same as what my daddy always said.
@@gracebryant1817 29 and 30 are kids? Lol
Whenever I go into a cemetery and look at the headstones I wonder about the lives of the people sleeping there. Lamont you really make these people come to life for me.
I like that you use the word sleeping. it's makes death seem a Little less scary to me
Lamont I’ve survived a stroke a blood bacteria and lymphoma cancer. Cancer is nothing to play with. I really am alive by the grace of God. I should not still be alive today but I am. Be thankful for everyday of your life. Because it could be your last.
@@rivers743 i like to think of death like being born again just without any pain
Me too.
Yes he does
I was a big part of that memorial for Leon Russell. It was an honor to work with everyone on it.
Leon Russell’s headstone is beautiful! May all those souls rest easy 🌹
I am a LeonLifer who donated to have the memorial built along with many other lifers, I am even a caretaker who visits and cleans the monument OMG you need to learn more about him He is so much more then the one song in fact he wrote MANY songs you’ve heard including jumping Jack flash just to name one Thank You for visiting my Friend Leon
I also suggest you visit The Church Studio in Tulsa it was Leon’s
Do they still have Leon Russell birthday bash in Tulsa every year 🤔 RIP 🙏 Leon
Leon was/is one of the best.
My husband , introduced me to your friend Leon,
( His songs) I am younger then my husband, Leon was amazing....he lives in our lives,even now! Thank you for your comment...we are actually going to visit his memorial in May 2023.....
Maybe play some of his music.
I agree. ❤
You drove past my mom’s grave and the family plots I own where I will be buried too. I was a personal assistant to a friend of Leon’s. I live in Tulsa, unfortunately he’s passed now, but used to tell me stories of playing music with him.
Bleu, Very cool!! 👍👍👍
I thought of Leon as the 5th BEATLE, or he played george Harrison on all things must change
@@missingremote4388 He had nothing to do with the Beatles....
@@elframo thanks, yes. I was wondering about Leon Russell... I must have mixed that up
Lamont you are so careful and considerate when speaking about these awful losses. You definitely give the respect these stories deserve.
Wow what a POS that guy Rex was
Leon Russell is legendary. His contributions to the music industry are grossly understated. I loved his work. I hope he got his reward. RiP Mr. Russell.
RIP to everyone buried at Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, Oklahoma you will truly all be missed and my prayers and thoughts go out to them and their families.
Leon is one of my heroes. A true musical genius and an amazing human being. R.I.P. to "The Master of Time and Space"
Leon was definitely a music prodigy. I believe he started playing the piano at 4 years old.
Loved Leon Russell's music. His was the first concert I ever went to. I was about 14 yrs old. I'm 65 now and still love his music. Rest In Peace Leon - you brought the magic of great music to so many - thank you!
Leon Russell was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2011.
I had to Google him cause I didn't know who he was either.
I like these how did they die vlogs.
The stories are sad but interesting too.
I LOVE Leon Russell. I saw him in concert in Dallas shortly before he passed. So talented.
You didn't know who Leon Russell was? You definitely didn't grow up in the 70s
@@Cutter-jx3xj Yes I did grow up in the 70's but I was a kid and listened to other types of music. 🤷🏻♀️
His most famous song was Tight Rope! I remember him from the 70’s!!
Will O' The Wisp was my favorite album. LR was extraordinary popular back in my day when everyone was listening to vinyl and then cassette tapes..lol ✌️
Leon Russell participated in the famous Joe Cocker tour. This tour became known as "The Mad Dogs and The English man" in 1970. Great guy with a huge talent...
I've been sober for about 17 years. This could will been me. I think God for his grace. R.I.P to all the victims. And God bless the families. Thank you Lamont God bless and stay safe 🙏
Carol Anne Moss' grave marker is unique and one of a kind. I'm betting she was a one of kind person in life. Rest in peace, Ms Moss🤎
Leon Russell's "A song for You" was covered by The Carpenters. It was a big hit for them. Leon Russell is definitely famous to many. RIP to a great songwriter/Musician.
Donny Hathaway did amazing with this song
George Benson did it
My grandmother just passed away it seems like I was here yesterday with my dad. Graveyards have become a part of my life not in a bad way. But in a place of peace
I really liked Leon Russell’s music. Stranger in a strange land was one of his best.
Russell was in the Wrecking Crew, and was HUGE in 1972 with the Mad dogs and Englishman
Joe Cocker tour
Oh my gosh!!!! So many commenters and yourself have never heard of Leon Russell?!?!!! How can that be?! He was one of the most accomplished singers, musicians and songwriters of our time!! He’s in the Rock and Roll and Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. He recorded 31 albums and wrote over 400 huge songs, many of which I guarantee you know. Tight Rope, This Masquerade, Lady Blue, Back to the Island, Delta Lady were some of his hit songs. He wrote songs for the Carpenters (Superstar and A Song For You) and won many Grammys including songs he co-wrote with Barbra Streisand for the soundtrack to A Star is Born. He is a legend among legends! Go read his bio. It’s one of the most impressive in the music industry. I am a huge fan!! Thanks for visiting his gravesite, even though it was apparently by accident 😅.
R.i.p. the shooting victims at shooting at st. Francis hospital in Tulsa yesterday. Thanks for videos
That was crazy. Those poor ppl. 💔😢🤦🏻♀️
Pet cemeteries are beautiful to visit too. Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in NY and Balmoral Pet Cemetery in CT are huge. Touching to see their photos and memories.
I'm glad you mentioned it I live in Hartsdale. I see it all the time.
Pet Cemetery in Las Vegas, it's really a nice one..I wonder if Lamont ever visited it...Some of the K-9 police dogs are are buried there..🐕🦺🐈🐕
I gotta check it out.
@@timmytube12 It's Over off of Craig.
I didn’t know they had a pet cemetery? 😂
Leon Russell is a member of the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame and a member of The Wrecking Crew. He may not be famous to the causal fan, but to those who are ardent fans of music, Leon Russell is a legend.
They was he fixed the stuff bunny for the little kid’s grave just shows the compassion he has for people. You’re so caring, Lamont. I always smile when you fix people’s graves. Thank you for your videos. ❤️
Leon Russell was a singer/song writer. He recorded his own albums in the early 70s and he wrote a lot of songs for others. The song "Masquerade" by George Benson and the song "Delta Lady" by Joe Cocker were both written by Leon Russell. Both of these songs made the charts.
Wow, that's a very good to know factoid. I love that Masquerade song. RIP, Mr. Russell.
didn't know he wrote Delta Lady.
I always loved his music. Sometimes I pull up videos on youtube.
@@ValerieT2023 I was listening to his music just this afternoon with my brother.
Undoubtedly you were born before 1970. Leon Russell was as mention was a singer/ songwriter. Very famous. He was once married to Brenda Russell who hit was Piano in the Dark. Either you only listen to black music and never venture to other music venues. I was a black child in the 60s and 70s who didn't have a black radio station. So I appreciate old school any music. I also enjoy classical music. Next talk about something you know instead of going to a random graveyard of people we will NEVER met and talk so blantly about their deaths. Or maybe you should take a break and think of some other subjects
Lamont you are probably the only person that I know that does what you do for Graves you give people their bird seed by their graves you fix the things that's left behind outside the family I don't know anybody who would do that may God bless you you truly have a big heart and take care of yourself
God bless these precious people. Beautiful headstones, but such tragic losses. Thank you for taking the time to honor them so respectfully 🙏🏻♥️
Leon was my man in the 70s and yes he was very well known
Thanks for sharing how these regular folks died. As a regular folk myself, I feel more connected. Leon Russell - great musician.
Uncle you do what I do when I visit the cemetery…spend time wondering about what a random persons life was like 🙏🏿
When I go visit my loved ones who's moved on, I always walk around to other Graves wondering what happened to them. I'm so glad Lamont is satisfying my curiosity 🥰
Lamont you do an excellent job paying tribute to all who have died.
I really enjoyed this video. Often when wondering through the graveyard,I wonder about what their life was like
You didn't even watch it all silly
Raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and know that cemetery didn't know Oral Roberts or Wayman Tisdale was buried there. Interesting history. Never cared about the history seeing I was reared up around Greenwood, Archer and Pine (Black Wallstreet) but you made it worth hearing.
Don't forget murders near Pawhuska of the Osage tribe!
Greenwood, Archer, Pine....the Gap Band.
Waymon Tisdale is buried right inside the cemetery’s main entrance at 51st & Memorial. When you enter his memorial is directly to your left in a pretty large display. Can’t miss it. I too was surprised to find out about Oral Roberts. (Yes, spelled ORAL). Strange to discover his grave has no flare or fanfare. Just a small simple marker in an anonymous space. Just some hometown info if you find the time or are even interested. Comedian Sam Kennison is also buried here. Probably most interesting grave on site. Usually surrounded with candles, unopened beer bottles, cigarettes (save for weather), guitar picks, joints, pipes, stuffed animals, photos, money etc. Some of the items & tributes have been there for almost 30 yrs. And no one dares to touch any of it. Not sure why Lamont failed to mention him in this video.
Hometown for me. Thank you for the upload. May all Rest In Peace. You are loved. You are missed!!
Lamont when I see young lives taken because someone had to get behind the wheel drunk it just burns me up. To think a child lays in a grave while the perpetrator lives is a hard one to swallow. Leon Russell was famous in the 1970's, he did the Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour with Joe Cocker and Concert for Bangladesh with George Harrison. If you ever get a chance listen to the Concert for Bangladesh album, tape etc I promise you will love it. I saw Leon twice the last time was in Pgh Pa and I was 15 ft. from him while he played he was an excellent entertainer. A year and a half he passed away. R.I.P. Leon.
It amazes me that Leon Russell and Leon Wilkeson, fron Lynyard Skynyrd were born on the same day 10yrs apart and Wilkeson's middle name is Russell along with his father. Both Leon's were bass players and VERY colorful on stage. Check out the top hats of both men's grave markers.
I find that really amazing too. Both were great musicians 🎶🎸
RIP Leon Wilkeson 🙏 🕯🕊
RIP Leon Russell 🙏 🕯🕊
I saw Leon Russell in Cincinnati around 15 years ago. Great performance.
Hello I live across the street from the Memorial Cemetery in Tulsa and never knew how many people that are well know here in Tulsa that was buried over there. But the criminal history of Tulsa you tell the stories of them all with very good results and a lot of fact's. I've seen a lot of your UA-cam videos on Tulsa and the small towns around here how do you find the stories because some of them are not nation wide news but local news. Love what you are doing be safe and my GOD bless and protect you wherever you go. Thank you
Agree
THANKS, LAMONT! GREAT VIDEO!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😁😁 ORAL ROBERTS WAS A "SHADY" CHARACTER WHO LIVED A "LAVISH" LIFESTYLE. DUPED A LOT OF FOLKS THROUGH HIS TACTICS. LIKE BENNY HINN.
Exactly
Lady blue!!!!❤️❤️❤️ Leon Russell
Dude, I could listen to your stories all day, you should write a book about your travels
Well done, Lamont. I enjoyed this tour. Regarding Leon Russell, I looked up some info. His "A Song for You", which was named to the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2018, has been recorded by more than 200 artists, and his song "This Masquerade" by more than 75.
Thank you for sharing the cause of death for many interred in this cemetery. Also,thank you for giving a glimpse into these people's lives.
Lamont, thank you for what you do. ❤️❤️
I totally 💯 agree
Great vlog. Famous, infamous, those taken unfairly, those who didn't get to live to old age, those who lived their lives in service. Good to see Leon Russells' final resting place. I used to have a double live album of his, he was a force of nature when he played piano. Thanks Lamont.❤️🌄💐🕊️🌈
I used to work for the Sacramento Kings when Wayman Tisdale was a player & had the pleasure & honor of meeting Wayman. He was a very kind & friendly man & a great Kings player.
RIP Wayman Tisdale #23 🏀🙏🕯🕊
I walked that cemetery last summer. I've lived here nearly all my life, but never knew about that serial murderer. Thanks for telling us about it, Lamont!
Thanks for taking the time to speak of these people and families may they rest in peace and peace be with all who are left to grieve this great loss!
Great tribute to all commemorated here Lamont.
Leon Russel had a few charting hits over the years.
Tightrope, lady blue, masquerade and this song's for you.
Honored member of the Rock And Roll hall of fame. In the case of Rex B. It seems ironic how success was not enough for him. I live by a simple formula in life that has kept me balanced and focused for many years, I often ask people if they can give the definition between success and happiness in life and have received many different responses.
My answer to that question has always been simply,......
Success is having all you want,... Happiness is wanting all you have.
Love your credo of "payable upon death".
We are only worth the good we have done in life and our legacy lies within the hearts of those who loved and remember us.
It's just THAT simple.
Great video Lamont.
Tightrope was a fabulous song 🎵
@@inventorylady53 I agree. Leon's talent with a ragtime piano is legendary. You can understand how he was in such high demand as a session musician.
Welcome to Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the lane!! So sorry for all the sad stories here but thank you for giving some respect to them!!
@Shlyjones ….wind comes sweeping down the plains.
@@JD-ku6vd but it’s happier saying lane!! Thank you for correcting it!! 😊
@@shlyjones7591 😄I agree, but apparently Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein begged to differ!
Leon Russell was an amazing person thank you for going to his grave he has a lovely stone with a nice image of him the way he used to look in the early '70s he was actually a very handsome guy...
I've never seen a gravestone like that one either. It was really beautiful. She was loved...
Lamont thank you for sharing the story of Wayman Tisdale. Not a lot know about what happened with him. I've read about it numerous times. You're correct he was a great bassist and a great basketball star.
Lamont, these are my favorite videos. You go to a cemetery and just talk about average people with average lives. Then a few surprises in the mix this time! An awesome video with a lot of interesting stories! You do such a great job telling peoples stories. Sometimes I feel like you knew these people!
Tulsa is in the middle of an investigation of a man who shot several people at a hospital. I know you may well be hundreds of miles away by now and don't even know about it yet. Or you could still be in the area! That's part of the charm of your videos, we never quite know where your at!
Take care out there! The world is an ever changing place! Your definitely a gifted story teller and an amazing trivia source. An inspiration for UA-camrs who want to do these types of videos.
Jill
Thank You Lamont for coming to Tulsa. My Mom and Friends are buried at Memorial Park Cemetery. Great video. Thank You🙏❤
I like this longer video. I admire the respectful way you tell the stories except for the pieces of crap who don't deserve respect. The way you carefully set up the bunny touched my heart. I watch all your videos & like them all. Excellent work. I anxiously await the next one
Leon Russell *Lady Blue.* 1975* peace time traveler.
Also, I am a retired Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who worked with juveniles who were pending transfer once they turned 18 due to most had adult criminal felony murder convictions or gang related felonies. Anyway, the largest population was from Oklahoma, Las Vegas and Massachusetts. One girl who'd just turned 18 was driving drunk and hit/killed a family of 5. She was a Native American which at the time a battle ensued where to send her. Texas has Mountaintop a General Pop facility known for violence. Private prison was hopeful for most.
You mentioned the 10 years probation when the manslaughter drunk gets once out, she'll never make it. That's purposeful and a setup.
We have a prison ministry in the Gatesville prison
They should have given her life.....I was at the scene if its the one on 11th &Memorial.
Be in prayer for the ones that lost there life in the Tulsa shooting at the hospital and for the injured
💔😢🕊🙌🏻 SMH
Mr. Lamont ; Sir I want to say what you did to that bunny broke my heart, clearly you care about the dead I live in Stuart Florida and have a very small cemetery on South Kanner Hwy and once in awhile I will go in there and visit and clean the graves of all the forgotten. It breaks my heart that their tombstone's are faded vines and weeds over take them and no one cares I call myself The Caretaker Of The Forgotten thank you for your respect. I Remain Sincerely.
Mad Dogs and Englishmen tour with Joe Cocker…RIP both of them
Hope all who passed away there in peacetheres so many gorgeous headstones rip condolences to the family ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I really find this kind of content very interesting. Please do more. That being said, Rest in peace to all of the aforementioned persons in the video.
Lamont here are a few more Leon Russell wrote for other people just thought you may like this info
He played on hit records by The Byrds, The Beach Boys, Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass, The Monkees, The Ronettes and many others. He played on and arranged the number one hit, This Diamond Ring, for Gary Lewis and The Playboys in 1965 and co-wrote Everybody Loves A Clown and She's Just My Style.
He played in a lot of Phil Spector "wall-of-sound" recordings.
That guy you described Lamont that had all that money and he wants to go out and steal. I'm at a loss for words. All I can say is wow. Wow.
Eric Matthew is my age...I can't imagine having my life cut short in 1997. My heart goes out to all those who are deceased and to their families. May their souls rest in peace.
I use to do this, years ago. But when my daughter died in 2021 it has become really hard for me. I just think of her, out there, with so many other forgotten ones. Pure pain..
Sorry for your loss I lost my mom last year an her name was Sharon..how ironic 😇
I love, love, love Wayman Tisdale.
He was as magical on the bass as he was on the court.
Love Leon Russell! He did the song TIGHT ROPE! Beautiful grave stone so PERFECT for him!
Oh I so loved Leon Russell I have several of his albums and eight tracks. I loved his song "Lady Blue" I could play that over and over again. What a beautiful Memorial to him. Just a different but great singer he was back in the 1970's. A very good Vlog today Lamont.
You take us on such amazing journeys... We travel with you from our sofas, our beds, kitchen tables, our porches and we leave our little lives for a time, to go somewhere else, following your voice, taking in all your words, living another life through you and your amazing storytelling... We return different somehow, having learned something new, reliving old memories and always ready for the next journey... Much love always...
I love the way he brings their stories to life. going into a lot of detail well as much as he can find out and how he sets the color and the mood for each story. Love watching you, Lamont!
I loved every minute of all the stories you told. So very interesting. God bless you always sweetheart…and stay safe in all your travels, so all of us can learn about the people who passed, and HOW they passed. RiP to all of them. 🌹♥️🥀
Lamont that was one of the best episodes you have ever done. Thank you and keep em’ coming!!!
That's wonderful to acknowledge some of these deceased people...at least they will not be forgotten!!! Lamont you are doing an awesome job!!♥️💯
It's so sad that there's alot of tombstones that have no flowers it's like there forgotten rip
Family don’t live forever & often there’s no one left to tend to them. I don’t know where my maternal grandmother or grandfather are buried, my mother use to talk to me about them all the time but I have no idea where they are. They died when I was a young child, I’m now sixty but I don’t know where they are, I was never told & both my parents are long dead.
GOD Bless Their Souls CARES ALL PASSED HOME AT LAST FOREVER TO REJOICE THEY ARE ALL AT PEACE 🕊️🕊️🕊️ And Away From This Horrible World.
BEST HOUR OF MY DAY!!!! THANK YOU LAMONT!!!
Lamont I’m sure you’ve heard about the mass shooting at one of our area hospitals. It was awful. Two doctors lost and their office worker. The other killed was a patient who was waiting for his appointment. We are very sad in tulsa today.
Modern Renaissance Man posted video this AM...Ty is a good guy...check it out
@@conservativehippie9736 love his channel
@@ashesantics me too!!! 😃❤️🔥
I really enjoyed the format of this video, more than just a focus on one interesting person or case, but some insight into the people we would normally just walk past and not think of again. Thank you for the homework that this required! If there isn't more of the story on the headstone or a photo, it's so easy to keep moving.
Oral Robert's was well known in the Midwest, love the 4 pic tombstone, I always use zero fishing poles, very interesting stories, please keep it up
God Bless their Souls. R.i.P. to them.❤❤💙💙🙏🙏
Lamont, Leon Russell played at Woodstock and was likely of the generation before you. I went to all of his concerts over decades when he came near my hometown and he was one of the few musicians whose live performance was equally as good as his studio recordings. Yes, he was one of Phil Specters studio musician, and Russell was one of Specters top choices in spite of their personality difference, because Specter knew how talented Russell was.
Look up "Delta Lady" one of his best, written for Rita Coolidge, ex wife of Kris Kristofferson. Although he recorded few solo albums his catalog is full of some great music!
I remember Leon Russell . In the music business he and still is quite famous, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Also I believe one of the famous Muppet Band characters is made in the likeness of him.
Seen Leon Russell in concert for the azalea festival in Norfolk Virginia with the Nitty Gritty dirt band loved his music and his voice great show
When I was a little girl me and my sister's use to walk through the cemetery to go to school as short cut ,and I use to always stop and read the names on the tomb stone's, it was really sad 😥
I enjoy watching your videos! I like the respect and kindness you show when showing and talking about the graves & it’s awesome you fill the bird feeders. I like your sense of humor as well 🙂
I've been waiting patiently for you to make another video like this. My last time watching a video like this that you've made was a long time ago. Great work and coverage on each case. RIH To The Deceased Victims, My Sincere Condolences goes out to the families..
Comedian Sam Kinison, Roy Clark, Oral Roberts, Bob Wills, Waymon Tisdale are there as well.
You are so AMAZING at telling these stories ! 💞👍🏻💞
Leon was the man. That guy played on so albums and wrote so many song that many still don't know who he is. played with JJ Cale, The Stones, Allman Brothers Levon Helm from the band. I believe the last person he played with was Elton John. If you haven't watched his induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame you should check it out. Thanks for covering him this was awesome
Hi Lamont, the mistakes that people make in life, that cause others to lose there lives. So sad, that gravestone of Caroline Ann, was so beautiful, that must have cost a fortune, what a great job. RIP to everyone. Thanks Lamont, another great video. Xxxxx
Thank u for the great stories so sad how they passed away that way so sad
Rip to all of them.
please do a video on the Atlanta child murders sites it was an insane amount of children killed
I remember watching the documentary on that… I believed Oxygen aired it but not 100% sure.
That grave of Carol Anne Moss was Awesome. It’s a really beautiful tribute, giving us a tiny glimpse of he life’s progression.
I learned something from this video. I never knew Zebco stood for something else
Thanks for another great episode. This cemetery is so huge, probably the largest non-military cemetery I've been to, that finding any kind of grave is like a needle in a haystack. The staff at the building are very helpful that they'll find any person for you. I've been to a couple of the graves you were at in this episode plus Sam Kinison's, which I know you did in another episode. I was trying to find Bob Wills' grave but that one was difficult to find. Very touching stories you've told in this episode about the innocent that were killed.
Leon Russell wrote the song Masquerade George Benson sang Leon Russell wrote many popular songs! I loved his music!😘
I love that song by George Benson. 🥰
May they rest in peace🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
