Post by: VinnieVOL on April 26, 2013, 05:38:56 EDT K so now I'm sitting here at work listening to all the possum's classics, and I'm not a crier but I've forgotten how some of his songs make me tear up every time. "She Loved A Lot In Her Time", "Wild Irish Rose", "The Grand Tour", "He Stopped Loving Her Today". :bawl: :bawl:
Title: Re: The 'possum stopped loving her today.... Post by: Screaming Eagle Dad on April 26, 2013, 05:53:46 EDT Yes, RIP George Jones! One of my favorites songs he did was "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes", among others. It would be fiting for country radio to have a George Jones marathon of songs soon.

Title: Re: The 'possum stopped loving her today.... Post by: RockinGrannyVol on April 26, 2013, 06:44:06 EDT One of my very favorites --- RIP George Jones -- I love all your music!
Title: Re: The 'possum stopped loving her today.... Post by: Ridge Runner on April 26, 2013, 06:46:24 EDT He's on the Mount Rushmore of all-time great country singers. As the old saying goes, he might not have been in a class by himself, but it don't take long to call the roll.
Title: Re: The 'possum stopped loving her today.... Post by: Inspector Vol on April 26, 2013, 07:11:54 EDT IMHO the best thing you can ever say about a singer is that they are unique. Old possum had a unique sound, and it was loved by many.
Title: Re: The 'possum stopped loving her today.... Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on April 26, 2013, 09:20:19 EDT Saw him live four times..... and he was in "true George" fashion three of the four (if you know what I mean). Love this man's music!
Unique! I totally agree with that. A voice like no other. Man, I'm getting old. Title: Re: The 'possum stopped loving her today.... Post by: LouisVOL on April 26, 2013, 10:57:53 EDT Waylon said it best, "if we could all sing like we wanted to, we‘d all sound like George Jones."
Title: Re: The 'possum stopped loving her today.... Post by: Tnphil on April 27, 2013, 06:21:59 EDT No bigger fan of old country than me in the 50's 60' 70's...bought about all of the country records back in that day. Couldn't give a hoot about the country of the last 20-25 years.
He lived up to his title because I attended 6 of his concerts over the years but never got to see him :bawl: RIP George Title: Re: The 'possum stopped loving her today.... Post by: RON on April 28, 2013, 09:24:10 EDT Another Country Music legend is gone. This song is my favorite George Jones song. I remember as a kid in the 70's. My parents had this 8 track tape player in the living room. My parents loved Country Music. I remember listening to George Jones,Tammy Wynette,Johnny Cash,Waylon Jennings,Charlie Rich,Marty Robbins,Conway Twitty and Freddie Fender. Now all those Country Music stars are gone.
