He said 'how am I goin' to over dub something like that?' That's on the original record, and presumably was said by the producer who recognised perfection when he heard it. And he was right too...no need to add anything that could improve that performance. I remember buying that record - it's still an all time favourite.
Matt Hurley I just rediscovered this song. I know I heard it as a kid but didn’t remember it until I bought a Randy Travis “Best Of” As for the explanation, you definitely nailed it. Just like Jones and Randy did on that studio take. 😎
That's COUNTRY. Good ole few country boys around. All the good singers are gone. Elvis presley George Jones. Merle Haggard. Nobody will ever fill their shoes.
Yep....sadly true. The 90s was the last generation of Real Country, after 2010, it all went downhill. I've heard some dumbass people say that " Luke combs is bringing real country back" lol yea that only lasted a few years then he went Woke. Ironically, he sang a song called Outlaw, " we dont need another pretty boy singing pretty songs, they're doing country all wrong, we need another Haggard or Johnny cash somebody chewin Baccer and kickin ass I need preacher, I need a savior how bout yall? Can I get an Outlaw" which Ryan Upchurch originally written and sang, yea ol Luke combs became another Pretty boy singing pretty songs. I listen to old country cause it's better and its Real, they live the songs they wrote and sing, they didnt rap or do what the System said to, they were straight up Rebels and Outlaws which is what made Country, country. Now they got Beyonce pretending to be country and putting her earrape that isnt music on country music charts and it's the furthest thing from country! Ig the Woke Liberals in Nashville think she Identifies as country and she is Trans Genre, she is a pop star who thinks shes a Country singer even though shes clearly not! This place is a shitshow ever since 2020.
OH MY GOD!!! As if Randy wasn't enough to make me smile from ear to ear, when George walks on stage here, the hairs on my arms stood straight up, oh and the goose bumps .... WOW ...
Randy was right there a d right now Aaron Lewis in his own way is my fav of all time... It don't get any better iv seen Aaron recently twice up close in person and it's something il never forget
i am so glad i grew up in this era..George Jones my favorite singer ....Back when country was country...Gone but Never forgotten...thank god for videos
I have watched this video at least twice a week for the past year. As I grow older I have to wonder what has happened to music today? MY GOD these guys are legends.
I almost get mad every time I hear really great country anymore, bc the record companies won't sell anything but pop 🗑. Thankfully we still have the greats to turn to! Listen to George's harmony- nobody could match it!
Randy travis , rite after that song came out by George Jones along came Randy travis ssw him in concert 1985 in somerset ky at pulaski co high school. Grrat concert grrat guy
This particular video used to make me cry Everytime I watched it......sometimes over and over. George Jones was my life. Never will forget when I heard he died. I was driving to Amarillo to pick up my family after my wife left me and took my kids from me. I didn't need to hear that shit that day. His songs were my world.....still are. "I'd reach for inspiration", it was always you Possum. Best ever
I remember watching this as a kid live on TV. Back when it was an event to watch and the music was great. One legend, and one legend in the making at the time. Great to watch this and relive it, takes me back to a great time in life.
Yep, I still get chills every time I see this, just as I did when it was first broadcast - and I've seen it 100 times easy. This is one of the greatest recordings in country music ever!
When George digs deep , it's visceral . Like it's coming from a cave filled with all the pain and soul of a generation. Undeniable, he makes you listen
There’s only one ☝️ Randy Travis Style it’s the way he does his snigature move with the head and body the same time going low on that note 🤩🤩 then here come George with the graceful small bow just humbling .That one belonged to Mr Travis
Great song by 2 great artists. Now 1 is gone & the other is on the road to recovery after his stroke. Still praying for Randys recovery. Need some country music from him. No one else can fill their shoes.
Good MORNING 2 ALL MY BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN GRANDCHILDREN GREATGRANDSONS CARLO SISTERS LORELLE FAMILIES AILEEN URIEL EDDIE CHILDREN LOVE U ALL GOD BLESS👍❤💙💖💜💛💝💚
two of the best country singers we've ever had. God Bless you Randy & thank you for ll the great country songs you gave us. look forward to seeing you completely healed from your stroke & singing for us again. It's not our timing it's God's timing. RIP George Jones 2-15-20
Days are too Legends of country music we thank you for letting us come into your music thank God you enjoy it I will continue God bless you all for that message enjoy the music like they give us thank you guys 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️💯
Great song ! Type in "Ron Howard cover" listen to Opie sing "The Dance"! To all of us who have lost loved ones "Life goes that fast, and we will see them again that soon"! R.I.P. George
Two voices that could sing so naturally. They made it look so easy. The days of good music. I don't know what this crap is today and it can't be understood.
George was just perfection and a seemingly effortless vocal range. No-one can fill the Possom's shoes.
Love you guys great song
George will always be around Randy's music is great . I play both of CD often. God bless 🙏 🙌 ❤
Alan Jackson comes dang close
@@suecooper6595I agree. Alan is the only one who comes close!
😢tears me up ..the undisputed king of country
you are fukin GD right...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg two of my favorites together love them both country music at its best
Yes, this is real Country! Enjoy!
Love y’all too
Hello Linda how are you doing!!
What did George say there at the end? I can't make it out.
Oscar Velasquez George Jones asked Randy Travis about how did they come up with something like the song.
how am I going over something like that
Oscar Velasquez "how am I going to overdub something like that?"
He said 'how am I goin' to over dub something like that?' That's on the original record, and presumably was said by the producer who recognised perfection when he heard it. And he was right too...no need to add anything that could improve that performance. I remember buying that record - it's still an all time favourite.

It does not get any better than George Jones and Randy Travis.
Randy was the George Jones of my generation. And no one could sing it like the ol' Possum. Give me chills everytime I hear him sing.
The first time I heard Randy sing “On the other hand” on the radio I thought it was George Jones!!
I would bet the angels in heaven clapped loud when George came walking through the Pearly Gates we miss you George we love you
Dear God when i go to heaven plz let George be there to open the gates for me . RIP George
I hate you! This comment breaks my heart....,best ever.
Well said, Rodney...
@@atfourothirtythree what about Johnny Cash and Waylon?
You know the angels sure did R.I.P George
OH MY GOD!!! As if Randy wasn't enough to make me smile from ear to ear, when George walks on stage here, the hairs on my arms stood straight up, oh and the goose bumps .... WOW ...
Through
@@curtisyost5247 ?
I feel like a weirdo but this made me cry so hard, such a great collab and it feels like they really like each other from other interviews
Massive presence. Back when entertainers dressed like entertainers.
The POSSUM !!!!
They’re both amazing but I could never ever get tired of listening to George Jones he’s definitely the best country singer ever lived 👌
Randy was right there a d right now Aaron Lewis in his own way is my fav of all time... It don't get any better iv seen Aaron recently twice up close in person and it's something il never forget
This is " REAL " country , not like the " CRAP " today !!!!!!!!!!! ......
Play Perfect by Ed Sheeran
@@effiemondragon7809 Nope, George Jones and Randy Travis! NOW, that is as Country as you can get!
i agree love RANDY
Randy is still around, so is good country music, many has left, but new will come :)
The crap today is just pure pop music
Props to Randy! You've gotta be great to duet with the king! The real king George!
So right.
I think ever George got a little choked up at the reaction of the crowd when he walked out. The GOAT of country music!
Amen
@@haydenmillholland4496 yes, he and Hank Williams.
thats because at this time he was banished from country music, randy travis took him on tour and got the est to give george another shot.
Back when country music was actually good.
Exactly.
Vinny Ocean
George has another song that is so true
Whos gonna fill their shoes
iFats lop
The good old days.
SAY IT AGAIN LOUD AND CLEAR SO WE CAN ALL HEAR IT.... I miss this kind of country

I almost get mad every time I hear really great country anymore, bc the record companies won't sell anything but pop 🗑. Thankfully we still have the greats to turn to! Listen to George's harmony- nobody could match it!
I once heard the description of George Jones's voice
My motto is if you don't have Harmony you don't have anything

Randy nailed that song what a brilliant country star he is❤️
Was George making a return here from something? The crowd pop was was pretty huge and lasted a while.
It's the opossum brother
Great song by 2 great artists. Now 1 is gone & the other is on the road to recovery after his stroke. Still praying for Randys recovery. Need some country music from him. No one else can fill their shoes.

This a wonderful video. You can see, in their faces, the admiration they have for each other when they sing. Two great's if country music.
After mirror
I agree with you.
Exactly. The signing in amazing, but to see the look on their faces during the performance is breathtaking. Every time.
It is true what they say , George's Voice got sweeter and better as he aged . I am sure George still loves his Fan's , So do not stop loving him !
Epic..!!! The Possum just kills it every time he sang and Randy is top shelf also..I pray Randy is all mended up now and healthy again..!!
@Eric Brian well heck yes....only the best
