He’s singing in heaven. Just a little talk with Jesus. Thank the lord we can hear him again. He has a voice that will never be replaced. Listen to him all the time and merle. That’s real country music. Never be another man like jones on a mower either.
I'm a 60 year old female. I was lucky enough to see George in concert in Norman, Ok. He was with Reba, Ronnie Milsap, & John Anderson. But, of course, George was the headliner, and the GOAT!!
@Boogiebear-1965 That is so sweet to hear from you about George. My first husband and I had a dance, when we first met "Walk Through This World With Me" George Jones. We married had a little daughter. He was Army lifer.. he died 1990, Agent Orange. Sad situation, Vietnam...
I remember when I was around 6-7 years old and I was at my Aunt’s house and she would get to playing her favorite 38 LP records in her stereo and the song that was on was Walk Through This World With Me. I remember that I got goosebumps when he was singing. I remember asking her about who was singing. She just said it was George Jones who was known as the Possum. So watching this takes me back to the days when I had all of my people around me.
My Dad used to tell me George Jones was the king of country music. I didn’t start watching his concerts until one year ago and I’m 67. I missed a lot of years of watching him. I fell in love with his voice and showmanship instantly. He’s defiantly the KING!!! I wish I had seen him live❤️.
I love to sing these old beautiful old country songs. I grew dirt poor, the grand ol opry was a treat. God blesed us with the wonderful sound of country music.
Imagine a world where everyone is singing and the Church where everyone is praying when with a shout and the sound of the trumpet we believers shall gather there together to praise God forever! George was a believer
Who ever put thumbs down doesn't know what country music is. That's the possum. One of the greats there's not many left. That's what country music is not this garbage today we still have a few left not many. For all the ones that have left us RIP.
@@user-bl6tp3wy6h On of my favorites is simply known as the Corvette Song. The no show Jones thing was started in the early 80s when he was still drinking. I was amazed at how his popularity was still growing despite his being called No Show Jones. He was still struggling with his drinking problem at the time and I used to think, WTF here’s a man that has been at the top and was destroying his career. I was happy when he got his own demons in control. I’m not saying that he was a saint but who am I to judge? I know this much he has to be in Heaven now singing the songs he loved so much.
Never will forget the day my mom in her wheelchair and I who went to get his new album of favorites 50 yrs I think it was ..we went in there was a long line the security came and got us and put us right up front George and Nancy shook our hands gave us his autograph and talked to us like we were family and I never forgot it
George was one of nicest people I've ever had the privilege to meet and spend time with. I even worked security for him here in Texas. At our second meeting we discovered a good friend of mine was his cousin. He was a one of a kind. A man I admired and respected . I know as long as country music lives in the hearts of people. George Jones will continue to live on . May he RIP
I am 55 years old. I listen to music every day. I cant imagine life without music. Despite the fact that I enjoy a variety of music, from country classics to motorhead, no one has ever touched my heart and soul the way George Jones has and will forever continue to do so. To say the man is a legend is an understatement. He is the grandfather of country music. R.I.P. George Jones. No one will ever take your place.
George Jones really was one of the very finest interpretive singers of 20/21 century popular music, as well as the greatest country music singer of all time. He never ever seemed to sing anything the same way twice, and he was so good that he never seemed to sing a wrong note. He conveyed more soul in one phrase than anyone else could all night long, and the absolute gold standard by which country singers are measured. What a legend...
The definition of Country music.......A man asked Johnny Cash, " Who do you think is the BEST country music singer?"...Johnny Cash responds, " You mean, beside George Jones?"....That says it all......
George Jones mr. Robichaux never sold that but you know you got to show up now at the Pearly Gates and when they do you going to deal concert with all the country singers I put a little bit of rap in there too
Here in 2020 thanking God I got to grow up when country music was SOOOO GOOD! George had a voice that no one will ever match. No one will ever fill your shoes!
God I miss this man I’ve saw a lot of great artists and bands but nobody could turn it on like George jones I wish I could have saw him before he passed on
Okay, if you are younger than 60 years old, you missed one of the greatest achievements in television history. I'm talking about the Jimmy Dean Show from 1963-1966. Some of the cable channels are replaying it right now; where I live, it's on the RFD channel. Anyway, Jimmy Dean loved George Jones and had him on several episodes. Start with this episode. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lwq_vH2iOgs.html . Jimmy would sing duets with his guests. The duet with George on Things Have Gone to Pieces is unforgettable.
George Jones was the best there ever was. He sung a song about filling someone's shoes, well no one else can fill his shoes. You don't hear country music like this anymore.
I was George's Bus Driver during the no show era. Many time Ron and the Jones Boys played two long set before George appeared, if he did. BUT, we loved him!!
I'm so grateful to have grown up with this music I remember record albums with him with a red suit and crew cut the race is on playing on the stereo while Mom cleaned house thank you Mom for the wonderful memories.
I had the pleasure of seeing the Great George Jones twice. He was my Mama's man!!! I took her to see him and once we got to go on his bus in Fayetteville, NC at the Cumberland County Coliseum to meet him. She cried so hard , you'd thought someone had died and she could barely talk!!! We sat and he held her hand and she G-- Bless your heart, don't cry!! She LOVED LOVED HIM!! I loved/ love him, but not like her. I've always thought it was ironic , that my name is Tammy and my Mana was Nancy. His 1st wife and his last!! She's been gone and I can't hear his voice without crying. Please forgive me for writing a book!! LoL Thank you for sharing and stay Healthy !!
I have been watching this video for years. During this time I have told many people if they, or anyone else, asks what country music is, just watch George Jones live in Knoxville, and there is the answer.

George had a better voice in concert than on his albums. A once in a life time voice , what a pure talent from God. There will never be another like the Possum.
Singer Savannah He Absolutely was, however many artist sound completely diff live. George was always good, he was a natural born singer, his talent was from God. Most artist are only good in the studio with s plethora of equip making them sound good. That was not the case for George Jones, he could sit on your front porch with just his guitar and sound better than the record. That’s rare.
As much as he loved Tammy , he would have never lived as long as he did without Miss Nancy. They were both amazing talents. Ironic but very sad how things played out .RIP both of you.
I agree with you Jeffrey,as much as we would have loved to see George and Tammy stay together forever,it just wasn't meant to be.They still loved one another when they separated and would get together on stage and sing,but it hit George hard,as Tammy was his true love and he wanted to be with her always.And this caused him to spiral downwards in between performing on stage.But years later thankfully Nancy came into Georges life, and yes literally saved him and was there to get him through those dark times,and give us many more years of George and his amazing voice and all those beautiful heart wrenching songs he gave us.
I was 10, when I visited the daughter, and mother of Buford Pusser in Tennessee. R.I.P Buford and wife, your memory still lives on., as does George Jones.
JONES HELD the audience in the Palm of his hand if he was singing for a crowd of 50,000 or if he was singing just to you when you were alone there will NEVER BE ANOTHER TO COMPARE TO JONES YOU ARE MISSED BY MILLIONS
Check out a few songs buy a younger man from Texas. His name is Jason James. “Seems like tears ago” “Achin takin place” If George Jones were to have a son to carry out his legacy, it would be this guy
@@PureTexan Thanks for sending me this, your so right. You never know the possum might have a few kids out there. Lol I was born in KY. & love some good country music. I used to sing a little myself. Hey feel free to email me anytime, I'm single but if u aren't we could always be friends. We both love George. Lol
I work in a nursing home. I go room to room playing music from YT to a speaker. George Jones always bring a smile to their face. Even the dementia patients sing along.
