The Dark History Of Randy Travis 

A rough life leads to humble experience to make the best teachers. It's called a TESTIMONY.

My son and I had great joy singing Randy's "Ants on a Log" on our walk to grammar school every weekday in the mid 90's. Thanks for the memories Randy!❤❤❤❤❤❤

I met Randy at the Nashville palace in 1984 I went there to pitch somme of my songs along with my friends John Caffrey and Reggie Craig. Randy was so kind to us atrue Southern gentleman he introduced us to the stage. Randy we are praying for you amen Joe Herran.

I am 50 so I remember all of his hits coming out back in the day. Absolute legend

I met Randy Travis in 2002 at a small venue of 250 people @viejas casino in San Diego. I was only 28 years old at the time and he was one of my idols. I shook his hand and spoke with him briefly, he's a genuine kind soul. I am honored to have had that opportunity. God bless you

He is a natural, his singing just flows out without any struggle at all, what a beautiful man with a beautiful soul

Everyone makes mistakes in life and I really wish all those negative videos of Randy were removed from the internet. I admire his life and all he accomplished. Thank you so much Randy for giving us your awesome voice and acting. I remember throwing in many Randy Travis cassettes cruising around in the 80’s-90’s. His music will live on forever!!!! Thank you for a look into his life.

HE'S ONE OF MY FAVORITES, I PRAYED FOR YA'LL RANDY.

I've loved Randy Travis songs for over 25 years here in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Your music is the greatest and you can be very proud of your accomplishments. Randy Travis will never be forgotten'. Your the greatest! Thank you for all youve done.

I'm 51 years old and I remember clearly the first time I heard Randy Travis on the radio. The song was On The Other Hand, and I stopped what I was doing to listen to this incredible voice. Here I am 39 years later saying, "I love you Randy, and I hope you're doing well."

I have always and always will love Randy Travis!!!

One lesson all of us must learn is we are not doing right when we are doing wrong. When we do right we please God. When we do wrong we please the devil. We must be strong. Life is not about fame and money. Love for God, faith, wisdom, and hope are very important.

I am from Marshville, NC and we have a festival every September. It used to be the Boll Weevil Festival but has been the Randy Travis Music Festival for a while now. He comes out and takes pictures with fans every year. His health is really poor due to strokes and he has been confined to a wheelchair for a while. A person’s achievements should be what they are remembered for, not their mistakes. A man ain’t made of stone. FYI though, there is no such place as Monroe County. Marshville, NC is located in Union County. Monroe is a town located in Union County.

He had the Best Voice, sad we didn’t get more of his singing.

Three Wooden Crosses is my favorite

Dark History?? This video needs to be retitled. Sounds like an amazing history to me and everyone else.

I’m a rocker and I like his work.

Praying for you and your family. So sorry that you went through so much. Strokes are not easy. Forgiveness is love that gives new breath to us! God is so amazing!

One of my favorite singers of all time. I also highly recommend his autobiography, you won’t be able to put it down.

Randy is and always will be my favorite country singer of all time. I met Randy 4 times back stage(which I have pics of on my wall).I worked at Ruger and sent him parts for his gun when needed. I miss seeing him play he is the nicest kindest human being I have ever met. Still have all of his cds which I still play all the time and 2 jackets..lm actually reading his new book forever and ever Amen...love ya Randy

The best country voice of his era

WOW... What a life... GBY ALWAYS Mr. Randy Travis... I saw you Live at a free concert @ Harvest Church in Riverside, California & LOVED all of it... The songs🎵 the stories behind them & the LOVE in your heart for The LORD... That was the MOST IMPORTANT Part of Your LIFE... HUGS & BLESSINGS ALWAYS 🙏❤️💙🎼🎵🎤🎹

This is Jean Roberts I love Randy ,Mary I was going to the club when he sang,we took up money to help him make his first demo,we all loved him at Counrty City US A we all still love him and wish him well I'm 81 and still listen to him and George Jones wishing you Blessings Randy and Mary

I love Randy Travis he was my favorite singer when I was growing up .

I started liking Country music around the time of Randy Travis and others popular in the late '70s and early '80s. "Hard Rock Bottom Of My Heart", "Better Class Of Losers", "He Walked On Water" - some of my most favorites. And "3 Wooden Crosses" later. Then I married a guy who somewhat resembled Randy Travis - and this is the most common observation of others who see him or his picture. My husband would have that deep singing voice, too, and could imitate Randy, but he was shy about singing for anyone and didn't seek an audience. Interestingly more so, my husband had a massive stroke, as well, in 2019, suffering such similar afflictions as Randy Travis - the aphasia/appraxia, loss of the use of his right arm/hand, and need of his wife as a caregiver. I am fascinated with the videos of Randy and his wife as they tell their story, praying for them as they mirror our own path.

Have always loved Randy's music. As a 50 year old he was a big part of my growing up.

He was used by lib and Mary I feel so bad for this sweet man .He is very loveable and kind and I pray he makes it back to where he was before the stroke. God bless and help him. He is so loved

Randy Travis is a great singer and will always be one of the best ever.He was one of the first singers I paid money to go see along with the Judds at our State Fair in Indiana and was a country fan ever since then❤❤

I love Randy Travis he's still my favorite singer... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love Randy Travis❤️ I got to see him at Billy Bobs sitting side stage. But it was definitely something I could mark off my bucket list. 💯

I have always loved Randy and that was a sad day in his life ... hate seeing this again... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏for Randy always!!!!

I loved his music. He was one of his own.

I attended. Huntsville. Alabama. Concert outstanding. November I am going to gra nd prairie texas again randy is a walking talk g miracle

One of Randy Travis hits that is one of favourites and complete ear catcher .....FOUR WALLS

I’ve always said that he never got the recognition that he deserved.

He is one of my favourite.

George Jones, Randy Travis, Ralph Stanley, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson, just to name a few off the top, (God knows there are so many more) all tasked with the painful, holy burden of carrying all of our human souls, our pain and love, our prayers and regrets, all in the very sound of their transcendent voices, all to be our true mirrors. That’s what i think about whenever i hear about or learn about any breakdowns, any suffering, I think how most of us would crumble under that kind of weight. I don’t know who I’d be without any of them to guide me through, from my speakers. I thank Randy Travis from the bottom of my heart.

He had an alcohol addiction. Please have mercy. Is not a character weakness but an illness. Talented man.

Love you and your music and God will see you through

One of Christian music's finest!

9:57 "...and it was the first ever country album to actually go platinum." Well...actually... the first country album certified platinum was Wanted! The Outlaws.

Thank you I praying for you

This man’s beautiful voice is the first voice I can recall being able to easily recognize without being told as a child and only bc everytime I’d go to sleepover at my grandmas and make cookies & big batches of puppy chow or just to help her vacuum or run a garage sale- no matter what we were doing she would have a cassette tape playing and it’d always be a Randy Travis tape (she had them all)! When I’d get in the car to return home with my mom if she wasn’t already jamming out to her new cassette tape by Janet Jackson - which I never minded either bc I’m a fan of all good music by all talented musicians- I’d get permission to turn the radio on and would turn it to a country station anf altho I could sing the majority of the right lyrics to most of the songs played even tho I couldn’t tell you who was singing them but the moment that any of Randy’s songs would play- I’d get excited and look at momma and tell her ohhh this is a good one- that’s Randy Travis!! ❤ When I turned double digits and got my very own first boombox From my parents so i can still remember the excitement and the emotion that ran thru me when I opened up the gift my Grandma- an old shoe box that was full of all of her Randy Travis cassettes that the two of us always enjoyed singing and listening to together. 30 years later I wish I could admit that I know where all of those cassettes were today- I can’t actually say- but one thing I can say is that the love and emotion that I feel listening to Randy’s music has never changed! I still love to hear his music just as much as I did as a young child if not more actually. Randy’s coming to indiana to perform here in a couple of months- if I am not able to get tickets to go and enjoy hearing him and his music live & be able to show all of the love and support i have for him and his strength while also celebrating his determination and willpower to overcome his heath scare and challenge- I swear I’ll be so upset! Besides my daddy- Randy is the first man I actually would say I loved as a child 😊 today I love him still and would love for him to know that in every up or down of my life that his music was there for me and helped me get thru the worst times. Of my life but also was a reminder to me of how blessed and loved I am during both those hard and good times too!! He’s my all time favorite artist forever and ever, amen!! ❤❤❤

God bless you, Randy. It was a pleasure meeting you. And your hopetown Marshville, North Carolina.

I love Randy Travis he was a great singer and actor , one of the very best and a wonderful person

Let him alone. He's been through enough!

See how that is … alcoholic abusive father poisons his son with lifetime inner pain and problems getting along. It happened to me too. Randy you’re a good Bull (Taurus).

At 22, I had his album, 'Storms of Life'. As an young country music fan, Randy and Keith were my two favorites.

The Lord, bless him, Randy was so good and ❤❤❤😂 what ,a beautiful voice man I love the song he . three, wooden cross I cry when I hear that song, bless you Randy.🎉🎉🎉

Two songs Keith Whitley recorded that was remade, On The Other Hand, which Randy released, and No Body In His Right Mind which George Strait released, all because Keith did not release them as a single, otherwise Keith would have topped the charts with them both imo. Randy and George cashed in on them and released them as a single. Imo, Keith did them both better even though I did like Randy's version of On The Other Hand.

I Jesus Christ loves Randy his story is a very beautiful story to me he's human as we all are you are a very beautiful special king Randy and God bless you and your family and I will see you soon in the new HEAVAN ON EARTH

I have always liked Randy Travis and his music. I felt so bad for him when he had the stroke. How devastating that would be. I hope he is doing well and recovering. Wish him and his wife the best.

Always fan of you & your music! ♥️🌟👋

Nice documentary! thank you...

🍺🤠👍Randy!!!

Diggin up bones

"DON'T LOOK, ETHEL!!"

One of the greatest!!

I was a letter carrier in Santa Fe New Mexico and delivered mail to his house and I would sing digging up bones at a local bar when doing karaoke, He was a great individual and one of my favorite singers also

Great video. 😀🙏❤❤❤

I commend Randy for his determination and strength to get through such hard times through his life. God does not promise a life with no suffering, in fact he clearly says there will be suffering in our life on earth. what God does promise is if you believe and accept Jesus as your savior and believe the God sent him to die on the cross to save us from our sins and you do you best to keep his commandments, he will be with you through all your hard times and suffering and you will be with him in heaven when he calls you home. I commend Randy and Randy for their deep faith and trust in God. I am so thankful to God they have made it through this tragic eventing their lives and are thriving now, despite Randy's ability to talk they are still thriving and trusting God to continue to show them the way and his plan for their lives. I love you Randy and Mary and I will continue to pray for more healing and hope for your very own voice to come back. Just keep loving and trusting God and Mary and everything with be wonderful. Never give up Hope, God and Jesus work miracles multiple times a day and every single day.

Team Randy Travis

I too am a member of the naked in a cop car club. But luckily nobody gave a dam.

There, but for the grace of God, go any of us. With a full grasp of Travis' step-by-step descent, it's reasonable to assume that dementia was at the center -- and the alcohol excess didn't help a bit. This is one of the saddest cases of the mighty falling to rock bottom I've ever seen -- just glad he was able to keep breathing.

Randy & Mary Travis do not listen to this garbage Im proud of you guys giving your all. 🌹❤🌹

George Jones.. - I got a police video for you.. Randy Travis... -Hold my beer and watch this

The Box ! ! !❤❤❤

Love randy and carry underwood song I told u so it was so awesome when I heard it and love randy and Jorge jones😊

Love your movies

I met Randy Travis at the Nashville Palace In Nashville in nineteen eighty. I was playing bass guitar that night with a new artist. Randy cooked fish for me that night.And was a real nice person. By the way, he said his name was Randy Ray and that they let hlm sing some time there. Later on I got to sing on the same stage was even asked for my autograph. I am now seventy five years old and still singing. Please youtube me. Byron jones my way

Randy Travis rest in peace😢😢

Randy Travis is still very much alive. ❤❤ Therir now saying Alen Jackson has dirf today. Don't Believe Everything you hear or read on here.

I love to see Travis when be played on Matlock

We can sure lose our way.

most of us have something in our past that we'd like to undo and leave it there, I'm for one not interested in someone's past mistakes as long as they have learned and tried to make amends, forgiveness, empathy, love, isn't that what life is about??

Its Union County, not Monroe County. Its Monroe, the city...

No one is perfect

I was able to go to one of Randy's show at NC State fair. Stood in line for 4 hours to get in. Well worth it.

Randy was not the best singer in the world but I wish him luck

We live in Charlotte NC by the way

How do you have such a well-known channel and can't get through county correct. Marshville is in Union County

R.T. in his prime was a better C@W singer than George Jones. The only singers who were arguably better than R.T. were Marty Robbins and Patsy Cline.

He didn't invent the wrongs that he done. Millions of people have done the same things.

So he was a full blown Alchoholic...makes sense!! He was a great musician..but the addiction will kill him.

I'M 13 AND THIS GUY IS FROM CANDA

I meant music

No way, George Jones has the best country voice not even close

Hi

Three Wooden Cross

What movies

It wouldn't be mentioned if wasn't who he is.

I liked his music but he has rude staff at his concerts they had one here and it was at our fair grounds they told my sons friends kids parents could not come out if their house they lived on the fair grounds

My daughter is going through a bad divorce and maybe me

I can't listen to this. This is not how I want to remember my God. 😢

Doesn't matter now

How long did it take for this to get rid of that black eye

Union County

That’s Union county not Monroe county lol I lived there

Do I need alawye
