George Jones - Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes (Official Video) 

George Jones had a way of making you feel what he was singing

So TRUE

Same here

I'm with you

Me too

Fact!!! impossible

Juul bhad very juul juul

No o think your right b ut I

Or my and your grand paps

True

Bet yr granddaddy met quite a few when they pulled up in their tour buses!😊

Your grandfather earl .must been one blessed man back in his days.& to be in one greatest singers of all time video..

Any information on the video? Backstory?

He resembles my grandfather who passed away in 2007. Right down to the overalls and mustache. I get teary eyed seeing that video.

@jonnyapples9429 unfortunately I was to young to really remember him talking about it but I'll ask my mother and get back to you. I know he was a handyman and did a lot of work for a few country stars.

RIP Toby

I lost my dad the same day Mr Toby K was taken from us. My dad favorite singer was the late great George Jones.

​@@nathanurick8320Condolences on your loss.

No you're not, good music is good people, roots are where we all begin! Our rock generation came from this and it is the simpler times we remember with our Grandparents!✌❤🎸

I, a metal head have tears in my eyes right now.

I'm Led Zeppelin...Still cryin over this one. lol

I'm a metal head too, and feel the same way!!!

Metalheads know talent when they see it right?

100 💯 percent correct!!! Merle, Conway, Waylon, George Jones, Charlie Daniels, Don Williams and Jonny Cash are legends and hopefully singing in heaven right now!!!

Except this song isn’t about Country music.

@@jimstenlund6017 It's not?

@@MDOurMD It’s about our “radio heroes” but they weren’t all country.

@@jimstenlund6017 - Yes, radio heroes, but I'd have to argue they are all country, or at least their roots are in country,. But, either way, it's still a great song and nobody will be filling the shoes of the people who are mentioned in the song (or the singer's shoes, for that matter).

Me too!!! Merle, Conway, Waylon Jonny Cash, Charlie Daniels and Don Williams as well!!!! Rip 🙏 to all of them legends!!!

Yes missing Merle , Don Williams and God bless Willie Nelson

Nailed it, Joe.

AMEN💗🕊

this worlds gone to crap the democrats ruined it we have to bring it back up again

My grandfather starts to cry every time this song comes on and he told me that it will hit me the older I get and he is the reason I love most classics and I will have too deal with geddy lee dying and Alice cooper

@@koleanglebrandt7621 mm no m,....... Me moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo moo.

The outlaw walking - I am older & was lucky enough to see most mentioned including "no show" himself. He did show. Never listen to current what ever is not country today. No One is answer to question.

I had that very same thought just the other day. Thanks and God Bless

They got gravity in them shoes?

Amen to to that

@@ericparrish1515 gravity Hmmm

Midland works for me. Seem to be going towards the old style of country

Now Its 2024 , No1 Has Yet,, Miss Em All , grew up with the Older Legends , MY MA nd Dad wld play All those Legends Songd Every Day , Miss Em , RIP LEGENDS GOD BLESS

Guess what...rappers are creating reaction channels and they watch old country and rock stuff that we suggest to them and THEY LOVVVVVEEEE IT!!!! I'm here to grab a link for one that was doing "He Stopped Loving Her Today" . :)

@@ConspiracySmurf I just block them.

I always enjoy what you share here on RU-vid but we're not friends yet, I will love to be friends with you.. so how are you feeling today..🥰🌜

Exactly, who’s gonna fill his shoes? What an irony this is now.

Wall SD state

Wall SD

Wall SD

Now the music is terrible and the lyrics are so immature !

@@gordonduke7174 I am 12 and this is true. This music is good and can’t beat it

damned if that's not true

@@nght_pevet071 And I bet you can't even sing , let alone play an instrument !!

@@gordonduke7174 so?

Whitey Morgan is doing a good job of it

💝

You made a very good comment!

I dunno , jamey johnson stepping up pretty good

@@rickshaw60 I agree on that. There just ain't enough singers that take the route of personal expression over the route of pop music anymore.

I still do

Everytime I listen to it

Old enough to remember them ALL!

I know I do every time I hear this song

It's a haunting song, because it's true. Who's going to carry on the traditions? Who's going to fill there shoes?

My late husband's ringtone was "Hello Darlin' ".

❤️

No matter how many times I hear this song,I get a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I don’t think anybody could “ tear your heart out” like George Jones.

ABSOLUTELY

Vince Gill at his funeral- No one is ever gonna fill his shoes

Amen He has been my favorite since I was 13, I'm 36 and I still believe no voice can compare!

Listen to Sturgill and Isbell and stop listening to country radio (unless it's a country oldies station).

I'm with you. No one can hold a candle to any of them.

@@prestonmiller7326 I grew in Ky. My whole life was live music, banjos, guitars, fiddles! The front porch of my Grandparents house ! Sang and danced , I grew up that way,! We will never have those greats again! I am so so glad I grew up when I did!

We all just have to keep on hitting the repeat button till its wore out cause today's country don't have a chance to be as good

Well, I'm 47 Russian. And I do know, remember (well - have some rememberance of, at least) all these songs and singers mentioned. And I do know that my daughter knows the music, singers and melodies too. Thus - music will never die, I hope so, at least. BTW - thanks to hpr.org for broadcasting not limited to counttry borders.

I am ❤

Right here right now

Here with the possum. Nothing gonna top him.

whos listening in 3024!!!!

Me! until the day i die! i love the old timers!!

Not like that

Nobody, and nobody should try, it’s about making your own footprint, not standing in those of others, they are simply too big to fill…

@@BKKri77er um, that's not what the expression means. Basically, it means, 'Who will take their place as the legends of country music?', not who will copy them.

@@Rkenton48 I know what it means and I stand by what I said, nobody can because they still have their place, because the music outlived them.

Not to disagree with you, but Garth Brooks, Alabama, George Straight, John Micheal Montgomery, Alan Jackson to name a few could fill their predecessors. But the question is "Who will fill THEIR shoes, when those were the last of Country's greats.

@@edwardcollins8102 I'm sure that somewhere right now the very next revolutionary country music artist is in the first grade and studying hard. (Fingers crossed)

Omg, really?

Where was this gas station at

did he really have all that stuff or they brought it in???

I love your Dad's service station in the video. It was genius doing the video there Is your Dad still living?

R u for real man

Hello Shelley how are you doing today??

​@@jamesmarc6844ciao James!🙋😍😘💘🌅

​@Scott Williams your a awesome person 🎉

Who's gonna fill Possums shoes? No one, apparently

@@nick56677 nobody can

Semper Fi Mr. Jones

True

I agree with you and admire your good sense of humor, I guess you're a country music lover? His song are emotional when it comes to good music, you deserve a compliment .... How are you doing today? God bless you and your family

True

So true never can be filled not these anyway t.c. loved you George he cried when you passed.to my dad tc

So true never can be filled not these anyway t.c. loved you George he cried when you passed.to my dad tc

No artist wants to feel another man's shoes and the greats of our time and handed down Through Time only because there's enough of people that know real country their lips move and give testimony to singers those greats of our time.. I think there is one or two @LEFTY@ Y

We have Taylor Swift 😂😂😂

Yeah sad to say

It is so true because the new stuff will never compare to the songs of George and the other greats It may not be the place to mention this but in this area we have been blessed in that we have a old soul country singer that’s the best I have heard in many many years. Her name is Tammy Dutcher from Stephenville, Newfoundland

@@samfeltham423 Yeah, we're headed downhill like a snowball headed for hell. If you know where that comes from! And aww, that's awesome. At least I've got my parents who can sing every classic country song that comes on the radio!

Ya id say defiantly after 2000 music went to shit

Country and rock, all we have left is hip hop and rap, pure garbage, thank god for RU-vid...

You're very smart and got great taste in music.

Good luck to you. I am almost 70 and still listen to this music I grew up with and to Rick and roll. Lol

God should be the only idol in anyone's life.

@@patrickreedy1754 I'm not talking about an "Idol" in the since of religious worship. Just people I can relate to and have huge respect for.

@@patriot5.56 i understood exactly what you meant and didn't for one second think anything about religion because we're on the topic of music.

Hi, how are you doing today, I hope you’re having a wonderful day?

RIP Snowman

ALL are truely Country Legends in HEAVEN 💞 🙏 🙌

@@georgethomasmendivil7776 Amen 🙏

Willie is timeless lol

@@jeremywombacher3898 the day Willie passes I’m gonna have to take that day off work to mourn - heck will probably take off the entire week.

Amen 🙏

It just doesn't get any better than this one, especially when you don't have many years left.🍺

Heaven's full of most the great ones, not very many left 😔

👍👍

Hello Harriet You got a cute name. Lol

Don’t need to compare them. Both are real country singers. The real fight is against the shit that’s passed off as country now

Roy Acuff was the first king of country music.

No point in the comments, they were all legends!!@ This song should show you, Merle, Willie, Waylon, and Jonny Cash!!! All have been amazing 👏

George Strait is amazing as well, so let's not forget that and make crazy 😜 ass comments!!! The possum is a legend, but so is George Strait!!!

@@kevinchandler179 George Strait is a legend, but George Jones was and still is King George of country. He paved the way for country music superstars!! My comment is not a crazy ass comment at all!!

Hello, how are you doing today, I hope you’re having a wonderful day?

Immigration has destroyed The US. That's what happened. Zionists and our politicians are to blame.

I can't believe I got so lucky I am truly blessed

That is so true friend, it really has gone to hell and back since the 70s and early 80s,,, times are really changing friend just sit back and take a look around you

​@@user-qe6xg2cl1lglad to say I glad you blessed , need to pass it along to others who ain't so well off

The Silver Eagle rolling through the night. Such a simple life then.❤❤

Right there with you hoss!!❤ been hearing this and crying along since 1989!!😂👏🫡💯

Very well said

What about Merle,Conway, Waylon and Charlie Daniels and Don Williams 🤔

❤😭

Damn felt that wasn't cigarettes for me it was that smell only grandpas house had staying up late with him watching old westerns what I would do for that one more time or to see his evil grin he'd get when he did something he knew he shouldn't

Man lived his own way. Respect.

@@hunterc4561 Gun smoke and Wagon Train! I remember watching those

Same here thanks for the memories.

You're absolutely right......Good evening Ruth how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's a lovely day that the lord has made

amyme❤❤😊😊

George Jones was my dads favorite musician

l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.

George Jones is one of the best rest easy George

Not in this lifetime

Amen he was a number one country singer

Agree. Singer, songwriter, nutter, performer and all round legend. As one of his biggest fans (my Dad) often said, "George could bring a tear to a glass eye!" The world is that little bit darker without them both!

There will never be any to fill his shoes!

Agreed

powerful statement indeed. but God has a plan. I just know he does.

Hello Karen

Not true..sometimes respect carries on without being franchised..

Vince and Patty singing "Go Rest High" at George's funeral was one of the most touching displays that these eyes have seen in 47 years...Phenomenal

They sure don't, but Alan and a few others have thier own.

It's so funny, back in the day if we did'nt do things rite. We got are asses whipped, now the law's are made to protect to protect such people??? it's like I can't protect my own people my own land ??? It clearly say's NO TREASPASSING ???

Patrcia.. you are right about that. . I don't think any of these girls singers coming up now can sing, IF you have to get on the stage half naked to hold they're attention, your not a good singer and the majority have to dance , Theres nothing wrong with dancing or wearing clothes that show almost everthing to get attention if that's what you like, BUT you shouldn't have to do that on the stage to keep they're attention..Also I don't understand half the words they're singing. They repeat the same line over, and over, They're not telling stories ,like George and the other guys back then.. Just a couple of them do..But most of them are fast songs so they can dance on the stage., Just miss all the old singers when I was young.. Like George said, whose gonna fill they're shoes, including George's. now . SAD ALMOST ALL ARE GONE.

After goerge jones was born they broken the mold

@@norma4363 I agree

Damn right!!! Also, the legends he talks about as well!!! Merle, Conway, Waylon, and he himself of course!!! Charlie Daniels and Don Williams as well!!!

Bill Matrisch VERY TRUE

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Bout made me choke 😓 it's sad

No doubt about it

@@diannenaworensky6698 some of the best county Music there is ever

Hello Dawn how are you doing over there?

👍

Hello how are you doing 😊

I agree with you and admire your good sense of humor, I guess you're a country music lover? His song are emotional when it comes to good music, you deserve a compliment .... How are you doing today? God bless you and your family

I'm not trying to contradict anything you are saying about the great country music musicians but Conway Twitty sang "Hello Darlin" not George Jones, but all the artists from that generation were great & as the song goes..Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes 😢 unfortunately very few of today's artists can even come close to being in their league

@@loraorand7560 yeah,they was talkn about when jones sang hello darling and i saw the light on this song.

@@loraorand7560 lol....I think you misunderstood that comment.

@@loraorand7560 He didnt mean George sang the song Hello Darlin. He was referring that he said that phrase in THIS song.

Hey Paul

@@caroline5275 how are you doing

George is really cool

They are afraid if being canceled by the Left

Sturgill Simpson

Jamey Johnson, Creed Fisher

Amen.

@@NoNameNo.5 sold out

Their shoes have been stepped into.... but still remain unfilled.

Those days have past

@@esta7763 I'd say Charley Crockett and a few others who aren't mainstream have

I like you post and your picture

Anna are you single

@@davidskaggs6051 no i’m married

Hello Anna....

One of the greatest… amongst many others gone! My first concert was George Jones at 12yrs old! ❤️

🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hero’s get remembered but legends never die

I read that his wife said that the day he died he had not been talking at all for a while and they knew he’s time was almost up. He suddenly opened his eyes and smiled and and said “ Hi, I’ve been waiting for you. I’m George Jones..”. Then he closed his eyes and went to Heaven. I hope I get to meet him when I get there.

Hello lisa, how are you doing?

Hello Lisa how are you doing today??

Indeed he really was an amazing singer

I Guess you're a country MUSIC lover?

Loved Charlie

Charlie was one of my mother-in-law s favorite singers ,that Lady had good taste.

I saw Charlie several times when he visited (NZ) and I listen to his (LP) Live at Panther Hall regularly. I love u-tube but there is nothing like a well kept vynyl record to reproduce the best sound.

Charlie died of covic 19 pandemic of the world.

Thank you! Legendary is a better word! Never forget this song!

@@Wreck_less Thank you. I will use it aboslutely dear💕🌻
