George is as real deal country as we will ever see. Everyone should know about him. Thank you George
As one who has fought demons and waged war for years I can attest the truth behind it. Sober 8 months now and hoping God'll see me through the end.
Reply to Charles
I was thirty-three years old when I had to get off alcohol I owned Three nightclubs
Customers would come in and asked if I was still on the wagon.? After a year I told a customer nope
I'm driving the wagon hang in there❤❤
Congratulations Charles! You should be very proud of yourself and God will most definitely see you through! Good job!!!💞🙏💞
AMEN!!!!❤ GOD BLESS YOU
I vividly remember when I was about 16 years old my late father suddenly yelling for me to come into the living room. He said son come quick and listen. This, he said is probably the greatest country song of all time. I stood and listened to George Jones sing He Stopped Loving her Today on TV. (before the internet and when TV only had 12 or so channels) And as a ACDC, Motley Crue loving teen I was taken aback and absolutely floored. Thank you Dad and thank you George for forever turning me onto REAL country music.
Immediately you can tell even by his speaking voice, it's the Great George Jones.
So glad George came to a saving faith in Jesus, and found the "Calvary Road" to Heaven. Too many celebrities get ruined by the wealth and sinful ways of this passing world. Please be prepared, all who read this. Salvation is the BEST choice in a life-time!!! God bless.
for it is appointed unto men once to die
and after this;
the judgement
The Greatest of all time.Have loved him since 1968. And I am from New York City.
George wasn't the greatest living country singer. He was the greatest country singer EVER! I used to pray for him. My daddy was an alcoholic, and God saved him. I wanted the same for him. Couldn't imagine him missing heaven. I was so thrilled to hear his testimony, and his last words to Nancy. Knowing he's in heaven, with my Mama and Daddy who so loved him, is something I'm so grateful for, bc it's proof once again of God's endless mercy and grace! One day we'll all sing praise together!
No one will ever fill those shoes!! RIP George
There will be only one George Jones in this world, thank you for your songs.
I Love George even more now...
Oh love of God how rich and pure, how measure less and strong. It shall forevermore endure the saint's and angels song.
I am happy that George found God bless his soul!
I grew up on George Jones and George Strait. The Georges mark my walk through this life! What a soundtrack it has been! God Bless him and he’s Blessed me!
The Lord blessed him with Nancy & he had 30 yrs of a solid Christian marriage and real happiness. I wish Tammy had had that too
But don’t fool yourselves, He never stopped lovingTammy through It all ,
He never stopped loving Tammy and Nancy knew he never got over her. Now Nancy is married to kirk west
@@jimbrent6037 that's so ridiculous. He said it was really her voice he'd been in love with. He stayed with Nancy for 30 years. That ought to be enough to show people who he loved, good grief!
I admire George's honesty! you can hear it in his voice!
Weather you could here it in his voice or not that honesty is there without a single doubt
George is honest and humble
His autobiography "I lived to tell it all", is a very good book. Love you George
Blessed are those that come in the name of our Lord and savior jesus
George owns it he doesn't blame anyone for anything he says his choices things he did to himself
The greatest singer to have ever lived. And was as honest as they come. RIP Possum!
Michael Vanpeski cb grr
"He Stopped Loving Her Today" is my favorite George Jones song. Most of the old time singers were raised in the church, but let popularity, fame, & money take away all Christian influences. I'm thankful he lived long enough to change his ways. John 14:6.
It's never too late to ask for forgiveness hopefully the possum is singing in heaven.
George lived it. And lived to tell about it. God bless. God rest.
Greatest country musician ever!!! There I said it. I know everyone will say hank or waylon or whoever, but for me it’s Jones.
He was King of Country Music back then still is today, true faithful Fans love him though years. Now in heaven Forever but someday see him again soon. God bless George Jones. Pure country music sound and church music. He gave his true Fans any kind music from his heart. Truly amazing story. Thank you. I know his music since was younger age but still am today. All great songs. Everyone love him. True artist and talented singer and songwriter and more. God bless George Jones. Fans all ages love him
Like Johnny cash George had to wrestle with those demons that were part of his life for so long .Love his honesty here.
I LOVE GEORGE JONES.....SO MUCH....🎤🎸🎵❤❤❤
How could you not love this man... in all his imperfections... we love you... miss you and waite to see you again...
This made me cry happy tears. I have been a George fan always and to see his life come full circle you know he was truly saved and rejoicing in heaven.. R.I.P. Forever George
George was my all time favorite singer when he passed away I cried all day I miss him so much but I still have all his CDS
I got to see him in concert in Clio Michigan. people were yelling for George Jones to take the Stage. they were yelling no show George. he came out on the stage and said OK Will you stop it .I’m here. he said I will play this one song. I know y’all want to hear it.and this one of my best songs and I’m gonna sing it for your right now. I stopped loving her today. just like it came off the album. RIP George there will never be another possum you were truly a legend rest in peace George
That's right number one and number two held by the Queen and King.
Thank God for helping George. Praise God.
George Jones, John Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson are all heroes to me. Why? They all talk openly about their troubles with no sugar coating or blaming others, by doing this they help others ( like me) to realize that we ALL have problems and that anyone can recover.
Tommy Petersen jesus love u the best news anywhere. com
Cause all were Christian
Dunno about Kris Kristofferson but anyway
I believe the way to true recovery is not to make excuses for what you’ve done wrong; give it to God and he will see you through.
@@andrews4596 Kris kristofferson turned to God. Around in the late 90s
Tommy You're HONEST and AWESOME Sir.
Best country singer off all time, rip you beautiful angel # George Jones
So happy that he found the Lord. I was able to see him in Lethbridge, Alberta years back. Great singer and entertainer, Kendall
a great testimony of my all time favorite country singer
rest in Peace George Jones one of the best country singer of all times
Shelley Haneran the greatest imo
beautiful story and so glad he's safe and happy with Jesus now
My belief of his falling off the wagon,had to do with the death of Tammy,who died in 1998,he loved her and never quit loving her,they are now together again!!!RIP George and Tammy!!!!
My thoughts exactly.
She wasn't really good for him like Nancy Jones his actual wife
Just because someone is not good for you doesn’t mean you ever stop loving them. Yes, Nancy possibly saved his life, but there are different kinds of love. I’m sure he loved Nancy, but a lot of people have someone that is the love of their life even though they can’t make it work.
@@yvonnewade9801 that's the honest truth .. I loved someone so deeply and honestly... I have never been able to be myself completely myself with anyone else.. unembarrassed or unashamed... but things just didn't work out.. we weren't good for each other.. but like you said I love him still to this day. I have been married to someone else for 26 yrs. And mostly happy.. he was what I needed in my life.. and I love him dearly. Like you said you can love more than one person.. and there's different kinds of love . If people don't agree then they either have had to go through anything .. or aren't being honest with themselves
I agree 100 love is never enough and the heart is big enough to love more than one person as long as you are fear. We do not live for ever. Still love my ex wife 15 years later l hope to find someone to share my life with one day
The greatest country singer of my lifetime I have all of his music and listen to it every day
I was born in 97… I’m a youngin but I’ll never forget my grandpa putting his cassette tapes in and play “he stopped loving her today” when I was about 6 back in 03. I was so memorized by possums voice. And now being a man today, I would always tell my buddies that I was born in the wrong era cause all I listen to is ol country songs, but I had 1 buddy tell me that I wasn’t born in the wrong era, It’s young cats like me who keep these old country songs and singers alive…. Rest in paradise possum 🙏🏽
We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this, John.
Poor George. Everybody beats themselves up one time or another. It's part of life.
I bet George and Vestal are singing together right now! Can't wait to hear ya'll again!
Love those ole timers. They were natural, pure unspoilt, time when the world was young and God gave His best. He still does, but our hearts were purer then, full of the Joy's of life. It's nice to go back then. LOVE LOVE country and western. We all have our demons one way or the other. But we give thanks to our Redeemer, for He never leave us or forsake us. The devil us a liar.
Bless your heart, George. I'm sure you're singing praises in heaven to King Jesus!
George had the ability to get an incredible grip on his music and singing and everything he did !
Well that tell u who is best singer in music today but he gone never be other like him🙏
WHAT A GREAT STORY ,ONE OF THE RESONS WE ALL DRANK TO MUCH.....THANK YOU NANCY AND THANK YOU JESUS.......
Yay for you George and of course Yay For you Jesus I love you
I'm glad he was able to seek God and change his life at the end. I just kept waiting for him to give a clear salvation testimony, where he asked the Lord to save him from his sins. He came close to expressing it, but stopped just short. I hope he did in private when he had that little talk with Jesus, I just wish it was more clear. I love this man. There is no one who can fill his shoes. He cannot be imitated. He was the heart and soul of country music. I hope that he put all his faith and trust in Jesus and is singing in Heaven today. RIP George Jones.
I hope to see u one day up there george !
Our life is like that if we don’t know Jesus my life was like that but until the gospel of the lord Jesus shines abroad in our hearts our life is in shambles I’m thankful that George found Jesus
Who can not help but respect a man that doesn't brush his actions under the rug; or try and blame them on the way he was, or was not raised as a child. I wasn't raised around Country Music, but one has to give this legend his due, there will never be another one quite like him. What was his song, "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" for his many fans I don't think anyone can.
He stopped loving Her Day was just Magnificent,When l first heard it my heard broke and l immediately thought of My Husband who died,l never got over Him,and l no in My Heart will be together again forever more🙏♥️🙏
Gone but never forgotten 2024
A true legend in many ways , His story helps me to stay on the right path....
George Jones was one of my very favorite country music singers and still is. I met his daughter Georgette Jones in person at The Pickin' Parlor here. It was awesome meeting his daughter.
I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU GEORGE AND I STILL DO ❤ I LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC AT POINT EVERYDAY, USUALLY AT NIGHT OR EVENING ❤❤ I HOPE YOU'RE SINGING IN HEAVEN WHEN I GET THERE🙏🙏
First time to hear this interview and I am so happy to realize his mindset at this time in his life. He came full circle. Only he could do that
Thanks to Nancy and the encouragement of his close friends.
George Jones I'm so thankful to have him as a hero and a brother in Christ and I love his music and I can't wait to meet him in Heaven
Hey George !

Reidsville my town ,
JESUS blessed this man.

Apt.#9 till he

No1 fan, Kathy in
Texas❤
Kathy, we are glad to see you here. Blessings!'
Praise God George got Right .
George has always been my favorite country singer_I'm a musician mostly Rock and Blues. I played in a band doing mostly Tom Petty, Aerosmith, Beatles etc. when on a Sunday at a lake near Houston we had done my favorite Ray Charles song-a few songs later after many rock songs we started Bartender Blues. Within 20 seconds, a possum came out from one side of the outdoor stage and scurried across in front of us all!
Guitar player and I traded looks in amazement and then began to laugh out loud!
That was about 15 years ago and we still laugh about it.
Incidentally, I lived 5 miles from Saratoga, Texas -birthplace of George Jones for about 8 yrs back in the 90's.
Thankyou thats a great interview...
He changed my life
I love the music that comes out his mouth he is the very best I heard
tell him all about your troubles he will hear your cry and he will answer by and by
I will forever listen to George Jones music forever . What a Legend he is. RIP George 3=21=19
George was like a brother to me and my husband. We loved him as much as any family member we have. We knew him from the early 60s until his death but we didnt get to see him much after the early 80s. My husband became a christian during our close friendship with George and that was during the time George was messed up on cocaine and George resented my husband becoming a christian for we would no longer go to any clubs that he was playing and he always wanted us with him at all his concerts. I'm so thankful he finally woke up and turned his life over to Jesus. This interview with him is so wonderful!!!! To hear him confess his wrong doings and how he had mistreated people that loved him was a real blessing. My husband witnessed Jesus to him soooooo many times, but the time was just not yet right. It took George( he himself) having a serious talk with Jesus to turn his life around. Thank God for the wreck at the bridge for that made him see the light. It showed him that the lord meant business with him. It showed him that jesus did what he ask him to do. He didnt hit him in the head with a hammer, but let him hit a bridge that knocked some sense in his head. We miss him so much and still grieve every day over him being gone. The most comforting thought is knowing that he died a saved man . What a blessing. Thank you Jesus, you and you alone was his savior.
George will always be loved by us. He did a lot of special things with us and it will never be forgotten. GEORGE RECORED AND RELEASED 73 songs my husband wrote for him. Tammy recorded 35 songs he wrote. We were also close to Tammy. We toured with them the whole time they were married. Then he married my sister Linda ( she was his 4th wife) . We were with them almost every day during their time together which was almost 8 years. So we knew him well. He recorded with my sister in law Melba Montgomery, they dated for quite a while and toured together for a few years. So I know the life of George Jones like the back of my hand. I knew all his family and all his children and are still very close to his two sons and Georgette. Let's all give Georgette a hand for her following in the footsteps of her mom and dad, and is making her mark in the music business. I pray God will bless her in the same way he blessed her mom and dad.
George will always be in.my heart for every he could sing very good very smart man he can sing yes I love George jones.oh me what singer who can match him nobody I dont care about ups down we all not perfect he was he was a great man
The one & Only George Jone’s, Never Ever be Another😢🎶❤️the best

_He Stopped Loving Her Today,_ a song from his side of the marriage, is only topped _Stand By Your Man,_ Tammy's side of the story. Can't make this up.
God blessed him by taking him home !
Proud of you Marine Semper Fi
This is a movie I would like to see!!!
The best interview with George Jones I’ve ever seen. Thankful I got to meet him in 1996. Remember the first time I heard “Choices” what I felt is indescribable!
This is beautiful. God bless him
King of country music
you need to experience the dark
to appreciate the light.
I loved and respected George Jones so much, and even when he was at it worst, it seemed like, he was just real, a nightmare, but a soul you wanted to reach out to and help. He was the real deal. I'm glad to have known his love for Christ.
Ron, thank you so much for watching our interview with George Jones. We appreciate you for sharing your comment with us. God bless you!'
never be another
George Jones-----What a unique and astonishing identity in his singing style. You cant hear but one verse and know instantly who that is.
The best, saw him in Reno.. Glad I went...:)
George Jones. R. I. P. Great singer
He is so open and so honest.
RIP you were the best to ever live
