I gotta sing it at my nephew's wedding in two days! My nephew is doing George's part. Dolly and George are both legends. I've decided I'm gonna give it my best!
2 legends. I was very sad to hear that Dolly had retired recently, although she was certainly entitled to and deserved to retire at her age. I'll miss her though.
I cry when he sings & it grieves me that he and Tammy went thru so much sadness. But it’s that sadness that created a huge impact on all of us - the greatest love story ever. If I can still cry today, George did his job.
RIGHT! He could have been blasted out his mind on that old Rotgut whiskey, sang the fucking Alphabet backward and Still brought tears to the biggest man's eyes lol Simply the Best 👍 Him And Conway Twitty both

The man had a passion for country music. He sang until the day he died. His voice was long past it’s prime at this point and it’s still better than any of that bullshit that has come out of Nashville for the last decade. LONG LIVE THE POSSUM.
I love him every song brings us to a special moment in our lives some happy some bring tears but never the less I wouldn't trade them for nothing from 5 years old to 54 years old every song has a special place. I cried my ass off 10 years ago when I called mom and dad to tell them George Jones died it was like losing a close relative I still miss this man.
I agree with you. I can listen to George, Dolly, & many others that I grew up with, any time. My Dad's name is also, George, coincidentally & it was him who rubbed off on me as far as who I listen to, etc... He had a lot of 8 Tracks, records of different sizes, cassettes, etc... Of everyone from Flatt & Scruggs who were Dad's bluegrass kings, Hank Williams Sr, Jr & Don who were Dad's country kings (in order they happened), The Rolling Stones who were Dad's Rock N Roll kings, etc.... He had a series of tapes that we always listened to for years called, Super Country 85, 86, 87, 88, & 89, & other tapes like them too. On those albums were Dolly, George, The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, Highway 101, Exile, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Kendalls, Steve Wariner, Mel McDaniel, T.G. Shepard, The Berlin Brothers, The Statler Brothers, Alabama, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, & tons more. He even had 8 Tracks of Kenny Rogers, Neil Diamond, James Taylor, Merle Haggard, Kitty Wells, Johnny & Jack, Charlie Rich, Charley Pride, & tons more. My Dad is now 68 & has always been a huge music buff. I've always nicknamed him, The Music King & my Mom (Dale) The Movie Queen or The TV Queen. Because if they had a choice & were only allowed 1 thing, Dad would choose a radio & Mom a tv, when I was growing up. I am both of them together but, if I could only pick 1, I find it harder to live without music or a radio than tv. Yet, I love them both & am a huge fan of so many on each, honestly. Thanks to George, Dolly, James Taylor & even Buddy Holly & The Crickets for being my earliest favourites of all, my favourites list kept growing longer & longer. Buddy has always been my Rock N Roll King, George & Dolly my country King & Queen & James Taylor my Folk Music King. So many favourites. Love them all. :)
I will always regret that I didn't get to see George Jones in concert. George Jones,Conway Twitty,Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard were the four most awesome REAL country singers. Most of the stuff in the last 20 years isn't country. I LOVE real country singers!
I went to a concert with both George Jones and Conway Twitty in November of 1992. Conway had lost his voice and he said he would come back soon to do another show. So, George sang for almost two hours! Great show. Sadly, Conway died in June of 1993 so I didn't get to see him in concert. I did get to see George about 8 times and loved every one! RIP POSSUM.
I saw George in the mid 90s when he was touring with Tammy. I took my sisters, my ex and my late dad. It was a dream come true. George was ornery, snapping at the road crew and himself. Boy he had a temper. So much fun. I got to see the greatest ever, and he was on that night.
Dolly (A female) has saved many of our male careers (Not just Male Country Singers), she doesn’t ask for recognition, and still remains on top. What a wonderful representative of and for our Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, God!!!!
God bless America! This is country music! I wish they still played country music like this today. :/ George Jones and Dolly Parton sang this beautiful song so perfect. This is good ole country music. And I think everyone can sooner or later relate to this song! Rip George Jones.
No One can replace George. I've been listening to him ,Since the 60s. . .and I'm here today. He's That One in a Million. . NOW You are that Bright and Shinning Star! RIP Mr.Jones. Loved and Missed.
At one time George Jones didn't want to sing this song because, he thought it hit a little close to home. Very glad he did perform this song with Dolly Parton! You Rock Possum!
For the record it was written for, and BY, Hank Jr. I'd bet he would be the FIRST to tell you it's Jr, not Hank Williams(which will always be Sr to some of us). Although that is why it fits Hank Jr better, how is George Jones' name a reminder of a blues man that's already gone(I mean I like this version I just wish he would have changed the line or something as it never made sense to me).
@@thegoldfly1 good point. As good as he sings this song nobody does it like or as full of feeling like Hank Williams jr. Brings a damn tear to my eye every time I hear it
WOW DOLLY Really Kicked ASS on this Great DUET.Due to Topic Matter MR. JONES didnt Have to try so hard , but did a superb job As USUAL. BEAUTIFUL Hats off to Hank JR.
exactly! Great song, and when Dolly comes in at 1:44, man, she power nails the lyrics with her voice, sounding stronger than I've heard her sound in awhile.
This song is a very special one. It is a duet of the ones that I called my Country Music King & Queen growing up. George was my 1st favorite & most favorite singer & Dolly was my 1st favorite female singer growing up. I could never get enough of either one of them on Awards Shows, Interviews, Concerts, etc.... I just could not get enough of either one of them. :)
I herd this song when it first come out country music today just aint like it was back in the day when u could understand it well mr possum u r the best singer alive still
These two are not only the greatest singers in America but they have honest true soul, i wish there were more people like these two,🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🌼 🎶
Here I am still loving these two harmonising so wonderfully as I am waiting for 2023 to make an appearance. RIP George and please keep well Dolly. We will love you both forever, thank you. ❤️❤️
I love the Alan Jackson version of this song, but Dolly Parton is one of my all time favorite artists, and I had no idea she did it fist and it's beautiful! I had the opportunity to see Alan perform it live over the summer and it was a once in a lifetime experience.
I was in Okinawa Japan in 1980 as a Marine on active duty. I bought the new Hank Williams jr record, and this song was on that album. Hank wrote it about himself, long before Alan Jackson covered it. I learned to play and sing it myself, but I can't do it justice like Hank, Alan, George & Dolly!
Thank You so much sharing- that means a lot to fans -my dad and him passed to heaven at the same hospital area -one week a part - and we are from WI , but my dad's ashes got stuck in TN for the memorial -so we put a NO SHOW JONES hat on the empty earn -that's how much our family love George- I saw him once with my family, and just Got a no show jones shirt for my B-day!
For the record, GEORGE JONES was the first artist offered the song MURDER ON MUSIC ROW, but George Strait and Alan Jackson got wind of it and recorded it before George got a chance to!
I thought no one could beat Dolly n Kenny but this just might be the same , absolutely beautiful song 💞💞💞👌👌👌I'm thinking that's Tammy watching over him from above , Dolly done fab as always 💖🥰🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Best country singer theres ever been on earth and never will be beaten, no Matter what his age he had the best country voice ever ❤ George Jones rip king legend 🙏🙏🙏
I'm 39 yrs old & I barley heard this song like 6 months ago when my boyfriend played it for me on one of those nights when he feels like dancing even if its just dancing in the living room ... One of the most romantic experiences I've had with him. I just fell in love with this songs.
Being a lifelong fan of both George & Dolly, I've always found it hard to pick only 1 from their list of contributions in their musical libraries. I've always said it you like Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes, He Stopped Loving Her Today, A Picture of Me Without You, Bartender's Blues (solo or with James Taylor who wrote it), etc.. I'm sure you'll love his songs: I Can Live Forever, which is a great Country Gospel song. I've always found it to be very uplifting & a song of great faith too. It makes people look at death one day in a calm, relaxed, positive kind of way. It's as though the song is saying, hey, don't fear death. You can talk to Jesus, you can see the lord. He describes in a very positive way now curious he is, how looking forward he is, & how sure he is about what's in the next life even though he's still here living this one. It's a really great song. Another Jones classic. As for his song, Choices, it will remind anyone of the song we listen to & are talking about on here, The Blues Man. This too, really blends well in the same category of subjects, as She Loved A Lot In Her Time, He Stopped Loving Her Today, & many others of his that we all know & can feel him saying while singing that this is a biographical song for him. Such great Jones classics for sure.
I got to see him in concert. what a beautiful show. his first song was a shop loving her today. just like it came off the album. i’m glad that I was able to see him. now this ladies and gentlemen is country. A lot better than the crap .we have out there today.
Wow, i have listened to George for over 51 years, and i never even knew him and Dolly done this Hank Williams Jr. tune.Man, they were absolutely amazing together and if there ever was a song fit for George's past this song was.Thank's for posting this, man this was awesome.
My husband once dedicated this to me, and I rededicated where she sings to George to my husband. Now, I fear we're splitting up and I can't help listen to this, wishing the "old times" was back.. 😔
I NEVER BECAME A GEORGE JONES FAN UNTIL I SAW GEORGE STRAIT MOVIE, SEEN IT LEAST 20 TIMES. EVERY TIME GEORGE JONES COMES ON TV, ALSO SEEN OVER DOZENS OF TIMES...THIS TWO SINGERS ARE "TRUE" PURE COUNTRY, LOVE IT !!! LOVE GEORGE AND DOLLY DOING "BLUES MAN", GREAT !!
George Jones laid the path for the country music after this song. Where it went with today's country I don't know. I've said it a million times. George tough us how to sing with a broken heart. Vince Gill said it's it beat. On that statement.
@@honestmark6681 I am good thanks, I have loved music all my life but only late in my years discovered country. we don't hear it much in the UK but the internet changed all that

I cry when he sings & it grieves me that he and Tammy went thru so much sadness. But it’s that sadness that created a huge impact on all of us - the greatest love story ever. If I can still cry today, George did his job.

Who else is still listening to this in 2019?
Me today n I cant get enough of the song
Greg everybody should be!
I do, and will till the day I die
Can't stop listening to this. One the saddest songs ever. And so autobiographical.
Fin me.
For the record since no one seems to know, Hank Williams, Jr. wrote this. This is an awesome rendition.
Maybe so however the part in the lyrics about not showing up for shows is what Jones did he carried the nickname of No Show Jones.
For the record, GEORGE JONES was the first artist offered the song MURDER ON MUSIC ROW, but George Strait and Alan Jackson got wind of it and recorded it before George got a chance to!
Seems almost autobiographical to me.
@@me4untn1 Hank Jr had his fair share of not showing up for shows as well

Being a lifelong fan of both George & Dolly, I've always found it hard to pick only 1 from their list of contributions in their musical libraries. I've always said it you like Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes, He Stopped Loving Her Today, A Picture of Me Without You, Bartender's Blues (solo or with James Taylor who wrote it), etc.. I'm sure you'll love his songs: I Can Live Forever, which is a great Country Gospel song. I've always found it to be very uplifting & a song of great faith too. It makes people look at death one day in a calm, relaxed, positive kind of way. It's as though the song is saying, hey, don't fear death. You can talk to Jesus, you can see the lord. He describes in a very positive way now curious he is, how looking forward he is, & how sure he is about what's in the next life even though he's still here living this one. It's a really great song. Another Jones classic. As for his song, Choices, it will remind anyone of the song we listen to & are talking about on here, The Blues Man. This too, really blends well in the same category of subjects, as She Loved A Lot In Her Time, He Stopped Loving Her Today, & many others of his that we all know & can feel him saying while singing that this is a biographical song for him. Such great Jones classics for sure.
he loves you !!!

God I have to come and listen to this every so often, tears in my eyes. I love you George❤ November 2023. I’ll be back for another listen
Fits George Jones life perfect. He should have been the one to sing it.
Lol.. Vicki you are correct I think about it also,, were you texting from?
George Jones laid the path for the country music after this song. Where it went with today's country I don't know. I've said it a million times. George tough us how to sing with a broken heart. Vince Gill said it's it beat. On that statement.
In the words of George Jones: "I was country, when country wasn't cool!!"
Simply Beautiful
Hello how are you doing?
