They can give it a thumbs down because they haven't lived it . Alcoholism is a bitch . George at least sang about the struggle . Am living it myself right now .I can still see the humor in this song and it gets a thumbs up from me .
Every song he sang either lived it, if not he put his heart and soul in it, for he was the ultimate professional of his craft, Unlike this new breed who portray themselves as country singers, his music will live on for decades others are forgotton at th end of the day.
My mama had that song. If I seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times. That's Austin City Limits. He was married to Tammy Wynette. She used to hide all the car keys when he started drinking I read, where one time.,he hopped on the lawn mower to make his way to the bar in the city. Hahahaha!
l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days….
Well folks, the sound of my childhood, the man who my grandpa and I wore out 3 cassette tapes on roadtrips when I was young, the man who just last night I was listening to while drinking a beer, the Possum, the King of Country, George Jones died. The man lived harder and longer than all of his peers. This man exemplified country music. I got to see him live just a few years ago and he could still put on a show. The Golden Voice of Country.
Thanks , Can understand your Dads pain , lost my sister when she was in her early 20s. Glad to hear he's better now . Hopefully your family has healed as a group , and find solace in each other .
i agree, i have lived through it with my father. he is sober now, but he was real bad for a while. my brother died in a car accident, and dad drank to forget. good luck in your fight against alcoholism, it's not an easy battle.
Ol' George has a song called, Who's gonna fill their shoes, well nobody can ever fill his. Thank you George, God bless you, and God blessed us with you. Rest in peace. You will never be forgotten or replaced.
Nothin' even comes close to George Jones, his voice was at it's best at this times period. "Later on it finally hit me....that you wouldn't be comin' home no more"
Elvis and George were actually good friends and when they both started out did pkg shows together they had great respect for each other. Elvis is great and George is great too!,two of the Best there ever was there will never be another George or Elvis Ever !
Most of the younger artist looked up to George Jones (thinking of the one ALAN JACKSON).How many remember our favorite Country Couple, at the time, singing "THESE DAYS I BARELY GET BY" at the George Jones Tribute Show? Yes, Blake and Miranda did a wonderful job. George would have been proud.

RIP George i think God is a cowboy because he is taking all the country music. singer George. we know beyond any doubt. that God is enjoying your music.
Now the King is really gone! :( RIP Possum you will be sorely missed. :( I am leaving the office to go to lunch and have a beer or two for the old possum. ;)
GEORGE JONES ONE OF THE VERY VERY BEST !!!! Takes be back to childhood Daddy sang this to Mama alot, and needless to say she never thought that Dad was funny ! My Brother and I sure did though.......

@buckshotass If we can't poke a little fun at our own past stupidity then we will consume ourselves with self loathing and guilt . Kudos to George for turning the corner , and moving on with his life .
George is obviously smashed. Still killing it. Hard to believe as talented as performer he was he would rather hide out in a Holiday Inn, Eat KFC and drink Evan William's than preform. I highly recommend The first season of Mike Judge's Tales From the Tour Bus. There is an episode about George and Tammy. The other season(s) are probably good as well. Season 1 was Country performers so I loved it.
@@realredrhythm I am a big fan. I wish TMC would stop spending so much time on on Your Favorite Band Sucks and get back to making Cocaine and Rhinestones.
@@1978garfield yeah. It was an outstanding product. Haven't listened to the other show. I think he mentioned it on one of the episodes but I never followed through. Too much input already. Trying to cut back. Give my brain some time to process

The original title of this song was Yabba Dabba Doo (So Are You), which was printed on the early record labels but almost right away, the publisher changed the title to The King Is Gone (So Are You) to avoid any legal trouble. Future releases of the song contained the new title.
So sad to lose George Jones. I loved his music all my adult life. He can do so much with his voice. Sending prayers and condolences to his wife, Nancy and his family. He was the best in country music and it just too sad. He will be missed sadly, Gwen
At some point during the lawsuit he was told he couldn't sing it. He was in Macon doing a concert right after that and people started chanting for it... and he DID it.
Country music doesn't exist anymore I'm blessed to grow up listening to true artists
Luckily RUclips and Willies roadhouse exist on Sirius xm otherwise I wouldn’t listen to music
Absolutely correct. Haven't listened to country radio in at least 30 years.
Me too, Possum is the greatest of all time, no one is a close 2nd, Maybe Merle
No truer words spoken regarding country music. One hasn't been made since about 1975.
This is Country. This is the America we used to have.
"I pulled the head off Elvis and filled Fred up to his pelvis ... " CLASSIC.
I don’t think I’ve ever played this song in my truck without immediately replaying it
They can give it a thumbs down because they haven't lived it . Alcoholism is a bitch . George at least sang about the struggle . Am living it myself right now .I can still see the humor in this song and it gets a thumbs up from me .
Most likely George LIVED this song!
the greatest singer in american music history ... hands down
100% Even in another Century artists will try to mimic him. Even more than Elvis and others...
@@perryfam5788it’s sad to say no one mimics this kinda of music

This was played at my Dad's memorial when he passed 5 years ago today. RIP Dad, RIP George.
One of my favorite songs. Thanks for sharing your story. I tip my drink as a toast to our loved and deceased Fathers. Cheers!
Oh that’s beautiful ❤️ ☺️
It’s the best one ☝️
Nice to hear some actual Country and not this Country Pop crap that these artists are doing today.
Damn right, sir. Thank God for artists like Dale Watson keeping the good stuff alive.
Hick Hop. Not Country
One of the last songs to be a hit from somebody who still had a sense of humor. Must be a soberly, serious, dull dimwit to not like this masterpiece.
The king is now really gone. You were a legend. You will be missed.
Hello Ann 👋 how are you ??
Can't belive there are 7 dislikes.....
George is still one of the best voices in music today!
How can 5 people not like this song? Must be Bieber fans! One of the greatest songs ever written by the Godfather of country music!
My mama had that song. If I seen it once, I've seen it a thousand times. That's Austin City Limits. He was married to Tammy Wynette. She used to hide all the car keys when he started drinking
I read, where one time.,he hopped on the lawn mower to make his way to the bar in the city. Hahahaha!
My dad died 15 years ago and every time I hear George Jones it reminds me of him
My pop's gone any day now. Yeah, the knot's in the throat.
Me too i miss my dad everyday
Sorry for your loss
you just can't listen to this song and not smile .
l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days….

Rest in Peace George Jones...I love your music!
Gotta love old school Nashville country music. Cheers from Sweden.
This "music" play today ain't country. George jones was one of the ten best country singers of all time
"George Jones was #1 of the ten best country singers of all time"
FTFY
Frank Sinatra said Jones had the second best voice in music. We all know who Frank thought was #1.
Great song!
the king is gone so are you and that's one favortine song by him
Now the King is really gone! :( RIP Possum you will be sorely missed. :(
I am leaving the office to go to lunch and have a beer or two for the old possum. ;)
I love this song!!, I wish someone would sing it again.
GEORGE JONES ONE OF THE VERY VERY BEST !!!! Takes be back to childhood Daddy sang this to Mama alot, and needless to say she never thought that Dad was funny ! My Brother and I sure did though.......

Love and Missing George keep singing to us at the Gate with all the Angels :)
Great song🎤
