George Jones - Things Have Gone To Pieces 

Yes they will

Well said....

amen

Nobody was quiet like george a unique voice. I miss him. Definately country

Damn straight

EXACTLY!!!!! TOTALLY AGREE!

I love George s voice him singing a song. I try and need to hear George jones sing most days. Love his songs

Totally Agree!!!!!!

This is one of my favorite performances by George ....I find myself scanning back and listening to lines over and over and over. He's too damn good.

for me this man's voice is one of the top three in the history of the planet. he only opened his mouth halfway to at least TRY to make it fair for the other singers. as a student of vocalists i would really appreciate it if someone who REALLY KNOWS could just remove all of the emotion out of the question and definitively say if he is lip-synching here or not. I have heard the man sing live perfectly (even better than the studio version) many times so it wouldn't take ANYTHING away from his unparalleled brilliance for me to hear that its lip-synched...it is just VERY interesting to me to know the truth. I know people are saying the mic is on a boom above him. and that could be. but even with microphone technology of today, the best mics are placed right in front of the singer's mouth to pick up subtle nuances....but the thing that persuades me most to think its lip-synced is that he is absolutely and provably not strumming the strings of the guitar. just watch it again...never touches the strings once with his strumming hand.

Totally.

Totally agree

Hearing that voice George was blessed with love hearing George sing always.

All the songs on country radio today sounds the same, so do the singers, I don't understand what has happened.

I know today's people only sing for money they don't sing from the heart and from the depths of their souls for only one bless from the good lord and deliver the feelings that are put there by a higher being than man God bless all that sing for him because they sing for feeling and sing for free Amen and Amen

Come check out my playlists

Country radio doesn't play country anymore.

@@jim5746 Multinational media corporations happened.

Right you are my friend, no equal !!

You R absolutely right!!!

True !!

That's true, but if everyone could, George would just be Jones, instead of an icon. But then there's only one Merle Norman.

@@michaelelliott1212 who is Merle Norman ?

Yes, George had quite a deep speaking voice, like his lowest notes in this masterpiece. He was the greatest country singer who ever drew breath.

Those eyes are blind drunk. BLIND drunk. It's UNFATHOMABLE that he's able to do this in the shape he was in. This was recorded LIVE. He was literally superhuman.

Me too

USA singing this song since 1/20/21, when Lady Liberty left.

Her heart stolen by the dopes at Dumbmatic and Dumbinion

I feel you

i know but i cant refrain singing along too so its gotta be rewinded many times if i can shutup and listen

i was in a country band last year, i suggested we do george jones, they said no. i left that day.... f$ck em all

Pretty sure he's lipsyncing these live ones

+Daniel Salazar I disagree. George put his own spin on every song he sang. If you watch him live in concert.. that man didn't have to open his mouth for magic to be released! Pure natural talent :)

+Daniel Salazar When you are REALLY good it doesn't look like you are trying....that was the way George sang. He didn't have to force it....

+John Hyde yeah but he doesnt even have a mic. im not saying he wasnt amazing, he just probably lip synced this performance

Daniel Salazar, the mic was a Uri tube hanging boom mic that could pick up a fart added to a hurricane. I thought I caught a shadow of it once there. Lip sync, not even. Jones didn’t need to lip sync anything. He is not like the sock suckers Trashville is trying to pass off as singers, from rascally flats tires to blowing a fish? WTF kind of crack pipe are they on in those recording exec’s studios these days? GIGO is Trashville studios. Gabage in, garbage out.

I’ve rewatched that line over and over. That tone is incredible

I agree 100%… his phrasing takes me to a different place😊

gladashell yes sir me to George is the man rip the possum

We don't have the talent today like we did back then.

I'm no psychologist but a lot of that deep self-destructive ambivalence goes back to his child hood when his father forced him to sing on the street for money and then stole all the proceeds to finance his own binges. It traumatized him. THANK GOD FOR NANCY, AN ANGEL SENT FROM HEAVEN

hahah good one

I agree my friend! That phrasing is impeccable and unique to only Jones! I pray I shall meet him someday in the great beyond 🙏❤️

John Adams It became my favorite, after seeing this performance.

What a beautiful voice! Always been my most favorite❤❤❤ he will live for ever in my heart.

Sinatra had an excellent voice, one of the best. What Sinatra didn’t have was the phrasing and enunciation. George could turn words into verbal molasses with his otherworldly phrasing. Listen to how every word that holds the emotional weight of the song is stretched to nearly 5 syllables just to make you feel something. No doubt one of the greatest...perhaps the greatest in Country Music.

There are so many songs that George Jones recorded other than his favorite ones that listeners should tap into. This is definitely one of them. This one should have over 2 million views which tells me Jones's best works isn't getting out there..

Raymomd Arthur I never heard it until 1969, then fell forever in love with GJ.

mander1295, the pedal steel was probably Tom Brumley as this was on HeeHaw at the time Tom Terrific was on the show pedalling along. Tom was one of the most under appreciated, yet truely one of the best if not the very best to sit down behind one. Buck Owens said he was the best he ever heard. Brumley’s timing, phrasing, diction, approach and delivery to an instrument he had mastered was second to none.
