    I was brought up in an abusive home, with music. George Jones gave me a big hug with his music. Love him to this day. I feel big grand parent hugs.

    I had a bad drinking problem when I was younger. I really do believe that George and his music inspired me to believe I could rise above it and beat it too. Sometimes, when things are desperate, it's good to have someone like George around to sing to you and tell you, through his music, that everything is going to be OK. And you know what? He was right.

      +Ima SuperPerson - Im a southerner 100% and when you had your heart broke, you going through lifes hard struggles, or just want to drink your pain away, only George Jones music will do. If someone says their listening to George Jones you know its got to be serious. I feel bad for a lot of our older country musicians because a lot had to take stimulants to make the show, downers to sleep, drinking to feel good, and some of our greatest legends all suffered form this, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Sr & Jr, Merle Haggard. Their schedules were demanding so they did what they had to do. I don't fault any of them for it.

    God bless George Jones. He had more substance and staying power in his little pinky then all the airbrushed temporary rock boys coming out of Nashville today. He didn't always need a hit to tour. He never gave up. Same with Haggard, Nelson, Jennings, Stonewall Jackson and all the other REAL country singers. He was and always will be the King Voice Of Country. Thank you Geaorge Jones. You are truly a legend. We love you Nancy. He will NEVER be forgotten.

  • @pedalman
    @pedalman 11 лет назад +5

    We all loved George, and not just because of his great voice. I think it is because of his honesty over the years when he was at his lowest and never avoiding talking about his problems and because of his strength in getting himself back again. Nancy certainly played a massive roll but so many who get addicted never make it back , the individual has to want to get back themselves, that takes strength of character and a colossal determination . That earns respect as well as loving his music.

    Nancy you are such a blessing to George ! I saw George finally for the first time "live" here in Toronto on April 8th 2008, and he was INCREDIBLE. At that time he was 76 years young, and it truly was a magical evening. I then saw you selling G.J. memorabilia, and I bought a concert CD, but I will always regret not speaking with you Nancy. YOU, without any doubt surely DID save George's life. Just concentrate on all the great memories. All my best.

Not one of you knows the facts about what's going on within George's family so stop talking about it like you do. You should all be thanking Nancy without her George would've been gone a long time ago. Nancy you were his angel and he said that many times. We will always love the possum and you. Thanks for letting the fans be part of the celebration of his life

    I know, right! I got Georgette's book for Easter, & just started reading it. It broke my heart reading how excited & proud he was when she was born knowing how Nancy tore them (and probably his boys) apart in the end. I never liked Garth either, to me he symbolizes the beginning of what Nashville is today. HE knew better, but wanted on camera. I heard Nancy say he called & wanted to sit with her, but was too broke up to sing.FYI nobody wanted you to sing, but NO singer loved him more than AJ imo

George Jones is truly a master piece with his God given talents, his love for you and most of all the love he had in his heart for the Lord. He spoke true words of wisdom and faith when he said to you that he had 81 good years with some he messed up. You were his rock and he spoke of his love for you and how you saved his life. This man truly knew Jesus as his personal savior and Lord. He is in peace now and you will meet again. Amen

    What Nancy did for George by sticking by him and helping him beat his substance abuse problems cannot be overestimated. She gave him years he wouldn't have had thanks to an unyielding yet forgiving kind of love on her part.
    Does anyone remember a great song that the late Wynn Stewart recorded called "Above and Beyond (The Call Of Love)"? That song's title pretty much describes Nancy.

He was honest and True to his convictions. He sang from his heart, lived and felt what he sang. He could reach into your heart and bring joy, tears, sadness and awake your deep and even your secret emotions. I love him and what he has done for me thru the years. I remember when IT was called "HILLBILLY" MUSIC.

    What on earth makes you think that the falling out with his children & seat placement had anything whatsoever to do with Nancy? Maybe they chose to sit away from the front, so as not to be seen on camera. George & his sons had had a bad relationship at least as far back as 1992. They tried to sue him in 1995, claiming he owed them money. And for the record, George's daughter Susan was at the funeral, in the front row and was also present at the graveside service, as were Georgette's sons.

      I agree, he had never had a very close relationship with his children except for Susan and that came later in his life, I really think it was his character to blame, not Nancy manipulating him to feud with his children. The only thing I would do differently if I were Nancy is try to have a better relationship with George's children now, but who knows what really happened...

    Another possibility just occurred to me: All the crying may have been edited out.

    Why is it that when a woman cries they are called weak, and when they don't they are called heartless? We can't win.
