Wish people would only suggest songs like "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" after the reactor has been exposed to the artists referenced in the song. Or else the song isn't going to hit much with them. But I guess they have been exposed to a few that's mentioned in the song.
@@Gutslinger they do it all the time. It's why I don't suggest some of the Statler Brothers songs. They are full of references to things that were popular in the 50s.
What most people miss in that song is on the last verse, every thing is “echoed” by a different “backup singer”, but they were all guests on this song & included some of the hottest acts of the time, including Alan Jackson, Vince Gill, Clint Black, Joe Diffie, & Garth Brooks.
George was originally suppose to record Rockin Years with Dolly Parton by the producers told her they wanted somebody "younger" to sing on it with her so he was replaced by Ricky Van Shelton. George recorded this song in response.
This is a great rabbit hole to go down. LEGENDARY artist that I had the honor of seeing in concert. He was great. "Who's gonna fill their shoes" is his tribute to other artist. And the "corvette song" is another one that's not so serious with a great story. Knowing George the song probably had some truth to it. Love your reactions. Keep on rockin 💪 💯 👌
Always loved George even when he failed to show up for a concert and earned the nickname No show Jones. For another fun song check out The One I Had Back Then
George Jones was a country legend singer songwriter from the 50's-80's. He struggled with alcoholism & drugs during his life. He was married at one time to fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette & they had some great duets together. He had so many hits such as "White Lightnin'", "She Thinks I Still Care", "We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds", "Love Bug", "Things Have Gone to Pieces", "The Race Is On", "My Favorite Lies", "I'll Share My World With You", "Take Me", "A Good Year For The Roses," "If My Heart Had Windows", "He Stopped Loving Her Today" & many others.
This song includes the powerhouse backup of the 90s best country singers: Vince Gill, Mark Chesnutt, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt, Joe Diffie, Alan Jackson, Pam Tillis, T. Graham Brown, Patty Loveless and Clint Black. All great singers in their own right! The official video which is nowhere to be found on RUclips any longer includes a cameo by legendary boxer George Foreman.
This is one of my favorites by George. If you were listening so many of the young guns lined up to sing with him. Vince Gill Alan Jackson and Mark Chestnut just to name a few. A good year for the roses is a great song to react to
As another LEGEND, Waylon Jennings sang, if we all could sing like we wanted to we'd all sound like George Jones. You REALLY need to check out his song Choices.
That's the thing bout George, He can make you laugh or ball depending on the song. He has a great range! Please try... If Drinking Don't Kill Me!! I think George Jones describes my whole childhood with all the different songs & we listened to him all the time!!
This was written for the machine better known as the music industry.The average man is taken off the radio at age 40.This was his way of telling them he was able and capable of still making and selling music.Check out Whose Gonna Fill Thier Shoes for a better understanding of The One And Only George Jones
You might try Willie NelsonAnd " Woke up still not dead again today !" While in bed in a hospital, with a ring bolted to my skull pulling traction on a broken neck, I used that line many mornings on the nurses-gave them a grin in their work they can use one now and then)-then used it a few times during my stay in a nursing home- now I take this song for an anthem, as I am pretty well back to me again!
I'm having a bawl with you guys. You did Joe Tex and was floored to the lyrics I got a good one MARVIN SEASE song name CANDY LICKER this song all in the hood please I want to see you're faces
Just found you on You Tube, love your reactions, Country Music has always been part of my life, Your Reactions to Loretta Lynn have been awesome, and I just know your loving George Jones. You really need to check out his song The Corvette Song, Classic George
I strongly recommend choices it's a beautiful song by him and that song Wild Irish Rose damn he kills me what's that song. And you think think He Stopped Loving Her Today is bad/sad when it comes to the tearing your heart out.. that Wild Irish Rose hit you were hurst❤ like an emotional gut punch.😢🎉. And there'll never be another George Jones.
George Jones was suppose to do a duet with dolly Parton on the song rocking years. The music producers decided he was to old and replaced him. So in response George Jones wrote this song and got several of the popular 90s country singers to sing back up on it
Love George , waited on him at a bar one night , he was suppose to be at a show in our town lol instead he was at the bar drinking ( no show Jones ) at that time . I have seen him live several times he always put on a show for sure . His song Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes is a good one he talks about some of the greats that have gone on . Love y’all so much Mel love your energy
Wow, I'm still binging on you guys and I haven't even made dinner I ended up just having some milkshakes thingy you guys are awesome and I hope you get it through to people doesn't matter black white people loved true music way back when not all this crap they have out now and I think you guys hit people in their deepest part of their hearts to go I remember this you guys are awesome thank you so much God bless big fan from Canada
Awesome reaction guy’s 👍👍 George Jones starred his career the same year that Elvis and Jonny Cash did in 1954 George Jones was and still is concerned the King of country soul in the genre of country music, The song called “ White Lightning “ is would love to see your reaction 😀
One person who I haven't seen anyone react to is Ronnie Milsap. He has a lot of great songs and his voice is something y'all haven't heard before. Smoking Mountain Rain is my favorite. Stranger in My House, There Ain't No Getting Over Me, I Wouldn't Have Missed It are all awesome
This has always been my favorite of George's. Yall need to watch him sing it on RUclips, he dances while singing. I appreciate yall playing all types of music. Blessings My RUclips is lindalrb. It's mostly about God but I'd love to play music on there but am afraid to do something wrong. Please help if you can.
He was nicknamed "possum" early in his career die to the way he looked with the flat top hair cut and his ears and his eyes he looked like a possum so he says Possum in a cage in this song
IF YOU HAVENT HEARD IT YET, YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO "WHOSE GONNA FILL THEIR SHOES" AND "WHITE LIGHTNING" GREAT SONGS
2 of my favorites

You should react to George Jones..."The King Is Gone"...George gets drunk and starts talking to Elvis and Fred Flintstone..lol
Definitely check out his "The One I Loved Back Then". It's great!
Age is just a number a song for anyone who as old as they feel
There was a video of this song with George Jones and George Foreman rockin on the front porch
Try George's "Yabba Dabba Doo!!!"
You should listen to one of George’s early hits, WHITE LIGHTENING.
One person who I haven't seen anyone react to is Ronnie Milsap. He has a lot of great songs and his voice is something y'all haven't heard before. Smoking Mountain Rain is my favorite. Stranger in My House, There Ain't No Getting Over Me, I Wouldn't Have Missed It are all awesome
He has another song I just love it is titled Who's gonna fill our shoes.
This has always been my favorite of George's. Yall need to watch him sing it on RUclips, he dances while singing. I appreciate yall playing all types of music. Blessings

Yall need to listen to George and Tammy sing together.
Eddie Rabbitt and Johnny Rodriguez are 2 country singers that had a lot of hits.
