George Jones singing through clenched teeth and bending the notes perfectly. I’ve said it a million times and I will say it again The Ole Possum George Jones is simply THE GOAT 🐐
i see you everywhere on all these wonderful George Jones videos!!! i’m 16 and it’s great to see so many people that like this guy, i can’t get enough. it’s 3 am and i’m going down my playlist of george!
I can't understand how we ended up with the CRAP Nashville is pumping out today. It just doesn't seem possible to wind up with garbage when they have had someone like George Jones teaching them how it's done for 60 YEARS! When that sad day came that the radio execs wouldn't grace the airways with Jones voice anymore I knew that music as I knew it was over and that true Country music had died. R.I.P. Country Music
Unbelievable live version ! If you ever had a real heartache with real pain , then this song has to touch u in some kinda way. Only this legend can wrench out such emotion from every word in this song. God u just called home the best ! Miss ya George R I P
I've probably commented on just about every Jones video on the net at one time or another, but I just can't help it- every time you watch this man perform it just rips at you, leaving you wanting to say somthing prolific about this unsurpassable talent that you just witnessed. I can remember countless times going and buying a new Jones album- you are excited because you know you are about to hear something great. You put the album on and Mr. Jones NEVER dissapoints with his voice... in every damn Jones album I ever bought there was something in there that wasn't just GOOD, there was something SO GOOD that it nearly left you in SHOCK. I couldn't count the times the man made all the hair on your body stand up as this chill went through you.
***** The saddest thing about it is that Jones himself didn't think he was very good. He was always uncomfortable when people praised his talent. Well, all I have to say is then he must have been uncomfortable A LOT because even the biggest legends of all time call Jones the best. There isn't anything that HASN'T been said about how good he was.
+Roccy T I'll never forget the first time I heard "He Stopped Loving Her Today" in 1980... I was riding in the back of a Chrysler New Yorker... I don't remember where we were going or why, but I remember that song coming over the radio. That was another one of those moments where you heard something so unimaginably good that it left you without words...
+KLUNKET I wish i can say that HSLHT had that kind of affect at first. I just remember the song being played a lot of the country radio station CFGM...as well as many other G J song . it wasn't till later , then i just had to go buy the album. But the songs i would wait for then ( no instant you tube those days) were someday my day will come, two story house....bartender blues and the following release I'm not ready yet. I guess, like George himself i thought the song was too slow and morbid and like him was I ever wrong.
Roccy T Hahaha! George said in an interview once that he told Billy Sherrill "I like the song, but it will never sell, it is just too damned sad"!! I bet George was never so happy to be so wrong in his life- the song literally re-energized his career which was suffering at that time for various reasons. But that morbid sadness is why the song grabbed me so much. It was the intense sadness of the song and the emotion Jones put into the performance that just blew me away. Shock value I guess...
Today is the anniversary of losing the greatest voice in country music. RIP George. I'm remembering you today by listening to all of your songs that I love.
If only everyone had his voice, hey George say hi to Vern when you see him. Those two was the best in country music. I think Allen Jackson is the only one to carry on great country music now.
George Jones will forever be among the best singers of Country Music and he may be the last of the real Country Singers we'll never see the likes again. His music will forever live on and this song was first done by Bob Luman.
I haven't been feeling so well lately. ''This'' gives me that old wonderful feeling that I had forgotten about, the best feeling in the world. This makes me feel like myself again. Oh how I love George Jones. This is the best therapy in the world. Thank you for posting this song. I'm fighting back the tears, but it's the kind that make you feel good, If that makes sense.
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….
@@Jleed989 he even gave me a credit on the album cover my name is Scott Dorsey Scott is my middle name that's what everybody calls me yes I was extremely lucky thanks
I'm sitting here listening to this song that I've heard a hundred times before, and yet I'm still mesmerized by this man's voice. Just listen to the way he bends his voice in and out of every lyric, stare into his eyes as he "lives" every word he sings. George doesn't just sing a song, he lives the song. He steps into the lyrics the way an actor steps into a movie role. Songs like this and "The Grand Tour"...I honestly don't understand how anyone can say they don't like George Jones.
George has his signature hit songs, but for my money, Say It's Not You, Things Have Gone to Pieces, Some Day My Day Will Come, Take Me and others are just as fine
Good God all mighty! I've been a musician now about 36yrs, and ain't lying when I tell you that hearing his music from the time I was just a kid, on up to an adult, just broke my heart like no other, and still does!
Yeah, we thought that was the best one, then he sings another, he just kept getting better each time. So glad & happy I got to see him in live concert many times. I loved him & still love his songs just as much as ever
Looking at the video of our late George, comes so natural, not the big expressions people put on Barely see his lips move I loved and will always be my #1!
Yes I agree with many others...George was gifted with a voice thaf no other singer to this dag can beat...17 May 2023...there was a saying ...that when George passes ...USA will soon not exist...take a close look at USA today...
Yeah there will never be another George Jones. Like someone said in the comments, “When George entered Heaven the angels moved to the side so that George could sing words of praise, in his Heavenly voice, to the almighty God.”
Ever fresh. I listen to this master piece every day. More like a regular prescribed diet to keep me on. I can't get enough of George Jones songs. I love GJ with all my heart.
When he sings a song, it has been sung! He throws his physical emotions in this one; he is feeling it! He is weeping inside.... The BEST singer that ever lived.....PERIOD!
No one has ever sang a song like George Jones. Look into his eyes. You can tell he feels his songs. I think he lived all his songs. If he didn't he could have fooled me.
Love,Love,Love George Jones, Always have Always will! ♥️🥰🎶 R.I.P. George Jones You are Dearly Loved & Missed by one of your biggest fans 🙏🏻😢💔🌹 Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
This man right here is the greatest male Country singer of all time. I could listen to him all day every day for the rest of my life, he and Tammy Wynette the best of the best.
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….
well, THE best, thats a matter of opinion, and in this case, i believe i happen to agree with yours, and absolutely for sure, he is one of a kind for all time.
His songs blow my freaking mind. A song for literally every stage of my life. Sings with the same passion I feel. Love you George.....will miss you forever. Hope when I'm called I have a radio with you on it, on repeat. Still heartbroken.
His duet with Keith on this song is awesome. It says in the liner notes of The Bradley Barn Sessions that Keith said he felt like he was "in the company of Angles" when he recorded this tune with George. Had MAJOR respect for the man and Keith Richards doesn't say that about just anybody. R.I.P. Possum, you were something in your day and sorely missed already.
This man sings a song from his guts.. He makes you feel the song, cause he does!!
Mkamkooamkooq
This song kills me. Everytime.
George Jones singing through clenched teeth and bending the notes perfectly. I’ve said it a million times and I will say it again The Ole Possum George Jones is simply THE GOAT 🐐
Yes. Indeed he is
George Jones was from another planet and he was here for a visit to share his talent with with us on this earth. I wish there can another Jones.
The ONE and Only 🎤🎸❤❤❤GEORGE JONES
STILL listening to this one; I cant get enough. He is crying in this one. His voice and delivery simply pierces my soul!

Each night she comes in alone -- and stays until self-respect is gone....
The best I ever heard George Jones ❤
@@actionace1982 Anyone that says, they don’t like George Jones, is either tone deaf or just plain ignorant.
Like Waylon once said "if we could all sound like we wanted to we'd all sound like George Jones"
Amen there will never be another george a sad day when he passed but he left alot of great music
Waylon was right and he would have known.

Wow! That man can cause a grown man to cry, with just his voice. Thats powerful!
Could anyone ever compete with George it's a live performance and every word in tune, this song really meant something to George.
George has his signature hit songs, but for my money, Say It's Not You, Things Have Gone to Pieces, Some Day My Day Will Come, Take Me and others are just as fine
Yes he has so many great hits but it’s songs like this one that make him the GREATEST there will ever be.
I'm nearly 78 and thank heavens I've lived through the time of these singers.
Good God all mighty! I've been a musician now about 36yrs, and ain't lying when I tell you that hearing his music from the time I was just a kid, on up to an adult, just broke my heart like no other, and still does!
Just listen to this one George sings. It’s the greatest ever heard. No one can even get close to this in any genre. The greatest can’t be topped!!!
Truth!!!
Yeah, we thought that was the best one, then he sings another, he just kept getting better each time. So glad & happy I got to see him in live concert many times. I loved him & still love his songs just as much as ever
listen to I'll take the chance
if we all could sound like we wanted to we'd all sound like GEORGE JONES!!!!!!!!!
Nobody has ever blended a smile and a grimace so effortlessly. The King of Heartache.
Looking at the video of our late George, comes so natural, not the big expressions people put on Barely see his lips move I loved and will always be my #1!
The emotion in his eyes, man, George slays me
Yessss!!!
2:06 says it all... emotions and heart!
“The Chairman” called “The Possum” “the SECOND greatest singer in America”. Arguable. ❤️
@@arthurstirling3208
Everything ok, Artie??
“The Chairman” knew better. The Possum is the best there ever will be….
2:02 you can see the pain in his face, this song meant something deep to him. RIP buddy keep singing up there
Unless he changed his ways;he won’t be singing UP there. Kills me when they say he was a a- hole, but country’s best singer though. RIP
Yes I agree with many others...George was gifted with a voice thaf no other singer to this dag can beat...17 May 2023...there was a saying ...that when George passes ...USA will soon not exist...take a close look at USA today...
