This was voted the song of the year, then song of the decade, song of the century and finally best country song ever. Rarely does anyone try to cover it because it is just that iconic. Alan Jackson sang it at George's funeral and j think one other sang it at a tribute to George but that's pretty much it. If you want a tear jersey watch Vince Gill singing go rest high at George's funeral. I can't watch it without crying
Listen to "Alyssa Lies" by Jason Michael Carroll
@@blizzard_of_mozGeorge Jones was a legend George. He's got a song called walk walk through this world with me by george
The best quote about this song I ever heard was, by the famous author, Maya Angelou, who said “this song says more about unrequited love in three minutes than a 1000 page novel”
I was in a band that got to be the opening act for Mr. Jones several times in the 80's. He and his wife were such gracious and nice people. Great song, great singer.
What a great experience that must have been for you Larry!
Be glad you didn't know him in the 70s in the heart of his drinking days don't know for a fact but as a recovering alcoholic myself I imagine he was a different person
@@johnbarton1690 look up the story Waylon Jennings told about the time George came over to his house, drunk. Its sad but hilarious at the same time. Those guys back then were always getting into something crazy. Lol
I just got a phone call while watching this reaction, one of my dear friends just won her battle with cancer. What I mean is it no longer has her bound in suffering, she is free and living her eternal life in Glory. Bittersweet for us , but she won the victory
❤❤❤❤
I understand my husband on his victory six months ago…
@Carolyn White bless your heart. I'll lift you up in prayer honey. Sending you a big hug
As long as she had Jesus, she is in a great place.
The first line in the song tells you everything.
"He said I'll love you till I die..."
Some of us keep our promises :)
And when people miss that 1st line they often I have a hard time getting the song
Everything between the first and last lines is just detail. Those two lines tell the whole story
Maggie, I don't always comment in these videos, but, I thank you and the sponsor for this video. George Jones was one of the greats in Country Music. Hands down.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love George.
100% agree with you. He will always be on my playlist.
I am glad you commented. Thank you! Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
@@maggiereneemusic most likely, I'll be on my way to Chicago. The joys of being a train engineer. Lol
😆
George was the greatest voice ever in country music
My uncle used to tour with Conway Twitty in the 70s and 80s. I grew up knowing a lot of these classic country singers. Charlie Daniels used to come fishing in my grandfather's lake all the time. He initially didn't want to record this song because he didn't think some would buy this sad song. It was probably his biggest hit
Ah two more names on my long long list!!
I’ve always found his comment after he recorded this song Quite funny
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
I was raised on George. He's my favorite country singer past or present. So glad he's still getting the recognition he deserves all after these years.
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
The way he sings the word "wreath" is exquisite...
Yep people from my generation in the south when the person passed away they would hang a wreath up on the door of carnations. 😭😥
@@willowb1527 Wasn't there some thing about Easter Lillies at funerals?
@@jonathanlocke6404Oh yes. Easter lilies incarnations. Especially the white carnations. I hated white Carnation wreaths after they put them on my mom's door after my dad died. Every time I would smell them or see them. What's wild is Easter lilies was one of my dad's favorite flower.
Country music is life in 3 chords.
The greatest country song of all times and the greatest country voice of ever give a listen to rest in peace by George its awesome
He is a legend. When he lost his license, he rode a lawn mower to the bar. I have sponsored 3 songs that I am looking forward to your reactions on.
Check out George Jones singing "My Favorites of Hank Williams" on UA-cam. He does a great job.
The master of the barroom weeper. Nobody did it better.
I enjoy watching the reactions to this song by people who are not familiar with it and I like to watch for the moment that they realize that the reason he stopped loving her is because he has died.
Me, too!
A really great man, and a wonderful reactor to review George's music. My Uncle that passed away a couple years ago delivered vehicles for George when he lived in Tennessee and actually drank coffee on his porch with him. I will never forget how much influence George had on his life and both will forever be a part of my life. God Bless you Maggie and keep up the great work.
Really enjoyed your comments George truly was one of the great country voices ever!😊
Love it! The kicker is many of these songs have actually occurred in someone's life Re some songwriters, some artists, or simply people who have experienced whatever and turned it into a song!
Goosebumps and tears
So glad you didn't cry! :D And that you enjoyed the beauty of George and this classic hit! More George to come in the future. Great job Maggie.
Thanks so much! 🙏💖
This is one of my favorite songs. He will really make you cry, when you hear this song. He really loved her until he died.
Loved this and your reaction.
About time we get some country music on here.
Rose & I have made it part of our mission :D
LOL! Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
Thank you, Maggie Renee, for your reaction to one of the great classic County Westerns.
Beautiful song for a beautiful person❤️😍
Thank you! 😊
If you liked that one, give "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" a listen. Patty Lovelase version.
Hearing this really takes me back! I'm very young, sitting at my grandmother's kitchen table in a rambling old wooden frame house tucked away in a Kentucky 'holler', the remains of a big country breakfast in front of us, recently demolished, the others having left to start their day. It's only her and me still sitting there, her with a cup of too-strong Folgers that had been boiled into submission in her old electric percolator pot, me with a sip of it cooling in her saucer. On the radio sitting over on the counter, tuned to the nearby AM radio station (transmitter just over the hill), brother George is wailing out his tribute to his departed friend. A cloud passes across my grandmother's face, briefly, then with a sniff she quickly stands, straightens out her apron, and starts putting her kitchen back in order. I'm still sitting there, swinging my legs off the kitchen chair, blissfully unaware of the dark plot twist buried in the lyrics, remembering the singer's face from a recent country music variety show on TV, and thinking how much he resembled a 'possum. Which puts a smile on my face as I scoot down off the chair, give my grandmother a hug, and run off to do important kid stuff....
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
I remember Vince Gill singing Go Rest High On That Mountain (Gill's own song) at the funeral for his close friend George Jones. Talk about tears... He barely got though it, and only with the support of singer Patty Loveless.
I'd love to sponsor Patty's "How Can I Help You to Say Goodbye" but Maggie would make me buy every mug that exists I think. And even I can't listen without crying.
@@trixiebella There is no way I am going to sponsor that. That is the one that sneaks up on you and you don't even know yet why you are so sad.
@@mikenolan8044 100% Heartbreaker. Not gonna do it. Nope no way, no how.
Been listening to Tom for 5 decades now. A great artist.
Often regarded as the best song in country music history. Once you understand the story and the references “wreath on the door”, “dressed up to go away”….it hits hard.
If you loved The Possum (as he is called) check out “The Grand Tour”….one of his other amazing hits.
I've got a few on my "to do" list. I also want "Choices" It is one of my other favorites of his.
Only one other song comes close to being better than this and that of course is Hank Williams Sr I'm So Lonesome
I Could Cry. George of course was heavily influenced by Hank.
No it’s NOT “often regarded” as the best country song.
By who?
It’s a great one, but “often regarded” as the best?
I can name a dozen that would probably beat it out in a poll or vote.
Smh.
@@Amaberean name them
@@Amaberean Rolling Stone lists it as #4 on their top 100 all time list. This is just one of many notable sources. Though of course everybody has their own opinion. It is widely regarded as being up there on the list :D
Listen to "Who's Going To Fill Their Shoes" by George It was words that have only become evident after years have passed. Today's country is more pop than country.
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
I lived close George and Tammy when they lived in Florida. I went to a few events at their music venue and it was so nice. I also remember several incidents of George being picked up by the sheriff's department for driving his lawnmower and yard tractor after he had been drinking.
Ole Possum! Lots of hits he had. I recommend watching the documentary, Country Music a Ken Burns film.
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
Man I loved your reaction to 3:14! George Jones, the inimitable, often imitated never duplicated! Loved your takes and interpretations on his phrasing
I can't help but cry every time I hear this song. George wrote it about his love for Tammy. It was a real tragedy what happened to her. Maggie, thank you.
George did not write this song.
No, he didn't. He hated this song when it was presented to him...fought not to record it ...
Glad you played this version, maybe the best version.
One of the very few of the artists you have reviewed that I actually got to see in person. This is a classic song and bittersweet.
This song will make the strongest man cry...it's a classic from the 'Possum' (GJ). Good ole country music, the kind you can't find anymore.
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
So many sad stories in the Country genre. Another is Mac Davis - "Whoever Finds This, I Love You."
Ooooohhh! I hope she goes down the Mac Davis/Scott Davis rabbit hole. He was an incredible songwriter.
So many reactors are listening to Elvis and are shocked that "In the Ghetto" was written by a white guy. That's just the power of a fantastic songwriter who is also a great storyteller.
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
I was at this concert. 1993 at the Civic Coliseum in Knoxville, Tn. Great great show! If I’ve seen one any better I can’t remember.
When you listen to George do his song live sometimes he adds a word here andthere, from the original, like I went to see my friend today, this is the kind of thing he does when he sings it live, in the original recording it so I went to see him just today, but we all do the same thing sometimes when we're singing.
congrats on your graduation and graduation position!
I don't have enough words for George. Love his music. Check out "good year for the roses"
I love to hear you sing this beautiful song ❤️
I saw someone react to this. They asked if it was a Christmas song because they hung a wreath on his door
😂
First congratulations Miestro on graduating, secondly ge has one of the best voices ever..
I feel old. I was watching UA-cam reactions to George Jones'song "He Stopped Loving Her Today". They were all missing the mark. Most failed to realize she left him and he never stopped loving her. Then the only reason he did stop loving her was he died. They didn't understand the part where they placed a wreath on his door all dressed up to go away and soon they will carry him away. Very few understood the song at all. Those few that grasped the meaning of the song were like oh wow and a couple of them got tears. But most were just way off the mark. Sad.
I still have the four tickets to see him but he died 4 days earlier.
So many reviewers miss that he passed I always thought this was so beautiful and the story sucks you in
Pure classic Maggie!
Great reaction! This is considered one of the two saddest songs in country music, along with Vern Gosdin's "Chiseled in Stone". You should definitely give it a listen!
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
@@maggiereneemusic Will definitely be there!
😊
Thanks, Maggie - you got it, right? RIP Possum!
You have a beautiful voice. I think you could do this song very well. God bless.
Greatest country song ever!!!
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
THE POSSUM!!!!! You stumbled onto Country Music Royalty!
no one tears heart strings like George and his ex-wife Tammy Wynette
Love this song.
Thanks so much for your comment. Can't wait to see you tonight! 🤗💓🎵👍
This is the greatest Country and Western song ever written.
I both love and hate this song. I love it because, well it's George, and that's enough of a reason. I hate it because the dude basically wasted his whole life on a lady that didn't feel the same. There's a lesson here people. If someone doesn't want to be in your life then let them go. Might be hard but it's what is best for everyone.
If sad songs get to you, don't listen to "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" by Roy Clark. It still brings tears to my eyes after nearly fifty years since the first time I heard it.
Thank you so much for uploading please react to A Place in the Country by George Jones.
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH for listening to this particular video and so g. GEORGE JONES IS THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐!!!! " He Stopped LOVING Her Today" is THE GREATEST Country and Western Song EVER PERFORMED AND PRODUCED!!!
THE IRONY about this particular song was that George Jones was EXTREMELY EXTREMELY ADAMANT AND DETERMINED NOT TO PERFORM "He Stopped LOVING Her Today" because it was WAY TO DEPRESSING AND UPSETTING!!!
The record company executives tried multiple other performers to record this particular so g, but NO ONE, AND, I MEAN NO ONE could hit the notes CORRECTLY!!! After a very very long time, George Jones decided to change His mind after haggling and butting heads with the record company executives.
When "He Stopped LOVING Her Today" was released to the public, it soared to NUMBER ONE and remained at Number One for quite some time.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER THAT GEORGE JONES IS THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐!!! RIP GEORGE JONES!!! YOU ARE CERTAINLY AND DEFINITELY THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐!!!!!
That is too much awesomness on one stage for the heart to handle.
Another good one of his, which is rather sad, is A Place In The Country.
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
In 1969, George Jones and Tammy Wynette married and purchased a plantation home in Lakeland, Florida, near where I lived. George Jones was renowned for his alcohol consumption and his antics while drunk. In 1974, he arrived back home after being on a two week drinking bender. His wife had hidden his pickup truck and their cars so he could not get on the road drunk. According to a “VH1 Special” episode and described in his autobiography, George runs out of alcohol in the house, cannot find any vehicles to get to the store to buy more and notices a 10 hp riding lawnmower out of his window. He hops on the lawnmower and proceeds to drive down the highway at 5 mph. He is stopped by the police and gets one of several arrests he accumulated for drunk driving and this is the first of several reported riding lawnmower incidents throughout his life. The VH1 Special episode can be found on UA-cam.
Vince Gill referenced that incident in his song "One More Last Chance". "Well, she might have took my car keys, but she forgot about my old John Deere..."
My first girlfriend way back in 1986 turned me on to country music. The first time I heard this song, the DJ called it the greatest love song ever written. I thought, “How could a song with that title be a great love song?!” Then once I heard it I understood. That girlfriend broke up with me about six months later. You know what they say about never forgetting your first? I still have her pictures. Let’s just say this song has an especially deep meaning for me.
RIP GEORGE. ALAN JACKSON DID YOU RIGHT AT YOUR SERVICE. I HAVE AN AUTOGRAPHED ALBUM THAT HE GAVE MY DAD ONE RAINY SUMMER NIGHT IN LOUISVILLE GA FOR FIXING HIS TOUR BUS.
Vern Gosdin is another country great...
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
Sometimes, it's gotta hurt to be good.
Voted BEST country song of all time. True.
6 months before this song came out, Merle Haggard wrote a song called," Today I started loving you again." Take the time & listen to Merle's song & see if George tried to copy it. I don't think George meant any disrespect to Merle because He later recorded a version of Merle's song. The 2 songs are opposites of each other but eerily similar.... I enjoy your reactions & insights. You are extremely talented.
Beautiful song, anyone who went through a break-up feels this song. But my ex and I are both happy, and we both love someone special. We're still best friends just like we've always been. Anyone else notice Trump there playing the banjo? 😂
A couple of interesting facts. George had a bad drinking problem. He earned the nickname No Show Jones during this time. When recording this song his speech was so slurred during the spoken portion. They had to carefully splice together the best sounding takes.
" It remined me of the one I loved back then" and "Who gonna fill their shoes" are a couple of George Jones songs you can check out.
You like sad & beautiful songs, Classic Country is full of them.
Donna Fargo " You were always there" & "Do l love you,
(yes in every way)"
Dolly Parton, she has many "Down from Dover" & "Me & little Andy"
Mac Davis "Forever Lovers"
Big Al Downing "Come & get me Mr. Jones"
Bobby Goldsboro "Honey"
Red Sovine "Teddy Bear"
Marty Robbins "The Chair" this song gives me chills & "El Paso"
The Statler Brothers
"More than a name on the wall"
Brenda Lee "Big four poster Bed"
Cristy Lane "l' ve come back to say l love you one more time" & "Shake me I rattle, squeeze me I Cry"
Other fans can let you know more.

Real country always tells a story!
This was after Gorge had a stroke. Still better than many others in their prime.
When he saw her and she was dressed up to go out with another man, that when he stopped loving her, such a sad song
Not so,he died.
Haven't seen you in forever!
Greatedt country song ever written
Best country song ever!
I liked how you sang along in some parts. you should do that more.
The original hit recording is in a higher key. This is an older George Jones.
"I love these songs so much but they're so sad." That's country music. As far as backwards country, Toby Keith has a song "Who's That Man?" that started as a comedic song but tuned itself into a sad one. The Geezinslaws recorded a song "Play It Backwards". There's nothing to say you can't write one too. I'd love to hear Country Maggie.
LOL! Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
Imo one of the best and saddest country songs of all time is "If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw. Country has such an ability to produce insanely powerful but tragic songs.
I heard a story that he originally didn't want to do this song because he said no one would buy this sad old song. It turned into arguably his biggest hit.
They don't Make Country Music like this anymore.. Hmmm , Now I sound like My Dad.. lol
Have You Checked out Light Hearted John Conlee, 🎵I don't Remember loving You🎵 My Son's Favorite Song..
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
This is great but the studio version is great too. It is a bit faster, has more verses, and is easier to understand.
One of the saddest songs ever written. George didn’t want to record it because it was so sad.
He hated it. Thought it was morbid. So glad he was wrong.
George strait is the Country King lol. George Jones was the Possum. Anyway, there are some good runs and content in country.
DAC has "the perfect country song" he does in his song You never call me by my name. Also another really good potential tear jerker is Books & Dunn's song "Believe".
Thank you for your comment. Hope to see you tomorrow on my Premiere of a new reaction video to Jeannie C Riley?
Amazing...mantap...kopi mana kopi....alipers from indonesia
Thank you! 😊
LOL Live long and prosper Ms Spock!
I watched a few reviews and they missed the opening line then he dies and kept his word
"she still preyed upon his mind"
"That was a good luck right there". News flash...THEY ARE ALL GREAT LICKS!!!
Maggie, I wish you could have sang duets with George Jones. Your voice would compliment his perfectly. ❤
Story goes that there something about a bet that George wanted to make it a fun type song but someone convinced him to sing it this way
An unusual protest song M.T.A or Charlie on the MTA by the Kingstone Trio, I think you would enjoy.
MTA is great!!
I'd recommend his song The Cold Hard Truth
