- Here is my video tribute to the GREATEST country singer who ever lived. I'm sorry that it took me so long to post something, I have been heartbroken over the loss of my hero. This is a video to show everyone just how important George Jones is. I have taken a few clips from various interviews, documentaries, awards shows and such. It is not my intent to infringe on anyone's copyrighted material. I will accept no money for the use of these clips. I simply wanted to honor my musical hero, and show the younger generation who George Jones is and what he means to country music. We miss you Possum!! George Glenn Jones (Sept 12th 1931- April 26th 2013)
I bought a book a few years ago called "America's Music- The Roots of Country" and under every artists picture they listed a list of their accomplishments. Some singers had a whole page of accomplishments under their name... Under George Jones's picture there was only ONE short sentence... "Often cited as the greatest singer on earth" ...I think that sums it up pretty good!
I claim no rights or ownership. I believe this constitutes a 'fair use' of any such copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the US Copyright Law. In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, the material here is distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes. My sole purpose in posting these "Classic Country" related videos is my own attempt to make the younger generation aware of these older artists and what they contributed to music. I will accept no profit, nor will I claim any ownership of material.
Here I am again. Back here to listen to the greatest singer there ever was and ever will be. Thank goodness for youtube and KLUNKET for keeping his music alive. I'm forever grateful!
I never realized how much influence George had in my growing up years and the whole of country music until his death. He truly was the King of Country.
He truly was the greatest country singer ever. Who's gonna fill his shoes?
George Jones still lives on. Though we can't see him physically anymore just play any of his music you will feel him. GJ RIP. LOVE YOU FOR EVER.
george's songs have helped me so much through life..
He was the man. Changed my country music love started with George Jones in 1972 he is the one and only
Kenny Vicini Sr. V
What is their left to say except you may think your gone but my God George your still here in your spirit and music.
Just look at all those legends Roy acuff, Merle, Johnny cash, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Sammy Kershaw, Tammy wynette etc hiw they honour their legend. Just breath taking.
How Tammy brought him to tears just goes to show how much he loves her yes loves her in heaven together again.
Rip all those legends who are up in heaven.
There has only been 2 times that I broke down and cried when someone in the music industry died:
Elvis Presley
George Jones..............Just broke my heart and I felt like someone in MY family had died. The very reason I went into music myself and played it for 30 years out there was because of these two men.
As that date comes back around, I sit here listening to the greatest country voice of all time. Your comment hits home. For me I did the same- the day Chris LeDoux and George Jones died...
I grew up listening to George with my dad. He is and always will be my all time favorite country singer. I love him. Your tribute is heartwarming♥ thank you for sharing I enjoyed it very much.
Brilliant tribute for George Jones the king of real country music.
Awesome tribute to the greatest singer who ever lived! Thank you
What a beautiful tribute! Thank you so much for sharing. George touched so many lives through his music, and it's hard to believe that he is gone, but his music will live on forever in the hearts of his fans. We love you George.
Yes Absolutely!! LOVE You Always George, Possum, Old No Show! RIP Brother!! Btw; I have a CD by your daughter Georgette and I want more!!! I must say though, If anyone in country music even comes close to sounding like George Jones it would be Randy Travis. I love him also and so sad about what happened to him. Hopefully, he can one day make a comeback God willing!
Gone as not forgotten singing in heaven
greatest singer......period!
very good thank you for showing. RIP
George jones was the best singer who ever lived
Still is.
And he carried that crown to the grave. They won't make another crown because there is and always will only be 1 george jones! I can name half a dozen # 2's
but #1 was a knock out, out of the park homerun well before even the 1980s rolled in.
Nothing to say
George Jones was truly the Best of the best and the king of country music. We all will miss him. RIP George Jones. We all loved you.
Thank you so much for doing this tribute to George Jones. I am 61 and grew up with almost every song this man sang, or recorded. I come from a musical western family and like so many have said George was like a uncle or brother in our family, and I was from Nebraska at that time, never met the man but sure loved his music, have learned the guitar because of this man.
Every compliment and every award ,so WELL deserved. He just captivates you with lyrics with an impeccable identity and original style. All singers can only wish to have those traits.
Thanks for having this. I come back to it every now and then, and always have a few tears to wipe away. He’s the reason I created my channel as well, to play his music and music that he would like as well. Thanks again, Tom
What a great tribute compilation for THE greatest country vocalist . Hag was also great, George couldn't write songs like Hag could but Possum had the greatest most versatile voice.
Wonderful tribute. Thank you for making this❤️
job well done George's music will be immortal he is and will always be what country should be also love your full shows of the George Jones show
I'm here again watching this beautiful tribute to George Jones. I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since he left us. I'd give anything to watch him one more time on stage. Mr. KLUNKET you did a beautiful job putting this tribute together and I wanted to thank you again. When I get to missing George I come here.
If I see this again in 10 years I will still get a huge lump in my throat, and tears falling down. for the last 10 years, he stopped loving her today would bring a tear to me every stinkin time.. now its almost every song by GJ. Thanks for the post... and the tears
very fitting tribute video to a very amazing country superstar legend ty for all the beer we drinked together rip
A man this good should never die!!! Heartbreaking as hell!
Thanks for this tribute to the Possum. You were so lucky to have known him! He would have been my favourite to meet!
Thank you for putting this tribute together. I've been 'country' since the late '40's and of all the artists I've heard and appreciated, there has been and is NO ONE WHO COMES CLOSE TO THE IMORTAL GEORGE JONES! ! !
The grand tour was my introduction to George jones, I am from north africa originally, Dolly and Kenny were the only ones I knew, been here in the USA for over 30 years now and grateful for my adoptive country and proud of it, George however has my utmost respect and gratitude. It's not just the songs or the voice, it's the glass house he shared with us, the good, the bad and the ugly. He was the genuine article, no neon lights, just the man.
thank you so much for sharing this with us! RIP George Jones!
BEST EVER GEORGE JONES,❤❤❤THANKS FOR ALL GREAT COUNTRYMUSIC🎸Thanks KLUNKET for charing ❤🎼
Thank you so much for this....I still cry knowing that he is gone......I can only imagine how Nancy is feeling. RIP George....shall miss you forever!!!
My lord George Jones will never be forgotten in my house..I'm so proud I got to see him in concert once,,it was in Rainsville, Alabama...I will always treasure seeing him,to this day,no other concert has ever touched his....George Jones is country music...God Bless
THANK YOU......really can't say any more. I will miss GEORGE so very much!
George Jones was a great sinser There will never be another one like him!
Excellent job! Thank you for sharing! RIP King George.
A wonderful video put together!! This video has touched my heart and more I watch videos and interviews of George Jones, I have find a whole new respect and love for George Jones... He may be Gone but NOT forgotten!!! RIP George Jones
Klunket, I don't know how I have missed this because most all I do on RUclips is search George Jones! Fitting tribute for The King of country music. I sincerely hope that he knew how much he was loved personally and musically. Fascinating life, I will never know how he survived all those years. Nancy Jones is a remarkable lady!
Thank you! As of this month he will have been gone 5 years now- that is so hard to believe... I know we all miss the old possum dearly. I think he knew how much the people loved him, BUT, I don't know that he ever truly understood why... He was uncomfortable talking about his own talent... he never thought he was that good. When people would praise him, he would point out that others were better, or just simply sit there uncomfortably sucking air through his teeth, fidgeting, putting his head down and so forth... I feel so bad about that. He truly was the best, and sadly the only person that didn't recognize it was Jones himself.
Klunket... I am Nancy Jones nephew..Sir Thank you for the way you decribed my Uncle.. That is true about him and you are right my Aunt Nancy did like this video you made of him. I was going though some old email cleaning out my junk and I came across the link you made of this video she sent to me. It was on May 18th 2013. So thank you... I still love watching all of these videos of him. I so miss him.. YOu guys have a great day..
Thanks
@@billyford3095just wanted to say good evening.. I'm a fan from Versailles mo. Hope you and all the family is doing fine. How's your aunt Nancy doing? I know it's been a while how's she doing from her eye surgery??. I hope you will pass this to her tell hello. I sent a face book and on messager request for her . I know she's reluctant on responding to unknown people. . Hope to hear from you or her. Love ya all.. take care.
@@vipercar11 thank you for that response. She's doing great thanks.. Aunt Nancy doesn't do Facebook anymore..
@@billyford3095THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING BACK.. .. AGAIN HOPE EVERYONE IS WELL.. .. (ON MY SON'S APP) BUT RESPOND ON HIS.. IM HOPING TO GET DOWN TO NASHVILLE TO THE HALL OF FAME.. AND JAMES CAUTHERS IS DOING AWESOME WITH HIS MUSIC OF YOUR UNCLE GEORGE'S AND OTHER'S AS WELL. MERRY CHRISTMAS.!! CLAYTON AND BRENDA.FROM MISSOURI.
He was amazing, he will always be amazing. GJ could yank the tears from your eyes with that voice. RIP my fellow Virgo. He was a life path 8.💖🙏💫🌍
THANK YOU KLUNKET for LOVELY video BY the best King OF COUNTRY 🎤🎸🎼 GEORGE JONES I PLAY him every day..When I wake up in the morning I'm LISTENING on " I share my world with you........🎤🎸❤🙏❤
Awesome tribute to "The Possum" Thank You for putting this together.
Vary good job! Best ever! Im happy you have met him you my friend in this video is the way i feel. on the day of his passing i was at work and all i could do was cry like a baby hard to hide myself when you work on a pack line... no one seen me. Thank you again!
Your welcome! I can say with 100% confidence regardless of ever meeting him or not, he loved you & your family as much as you loved him! I have never met an entertainer that loved his fans more than George.I was awe struck by it. The first time I met him I had written something for him-he was so kind & took the time to talk with me,then after the show I asked if he would sign my guitar-he did, before he went to leave he hollered "hey son"! I looked over & he tossed me the pick he used that night
Wonderful tribute and presentation. You would think that the worlds greatest vocalist and country legend George Jones would receive 95 Billion views rather than 95 plus thousands. Instead I notice average talented pop artists showing those numbers.
Thank you. Years of enjoyment from his music
Thank-You
This was absolutely Amazing! Thank You Soooo Much! I can't wait to share the video of my new tribute room with you. George was truly my lifelong friend. He was the one constant in my life & I love him dearly...always have always will
THANK YOU
thank you for doing this it is just the tip of the icebarg to how good this man was and still is.RIP.we will love you forever.it is up to us to make sure the young know what they have missed not to have known him .
awesome job John, we all know there will never be another JONES
I have been a George Jones Fan for over 50 years.Johnny Cash is my hero so when I seen him in the video with alot of the other Real Country Music stars it was iceing on the cake.Thanks for puting it together.If you get on Facebook look me up and friend me! Thanks Walt Moore
this is the best tribute I have seen since the Memorial services! thank you for taking the time to put this together for my hero! He will be missed by so many!
George Jones deserved all the awards and fecognition he dver got he could hold the audience in his hands every time
Saw him live twice. Two very memorable evenings. Nobody better.
I was 10 years old in 1970 when Dad told me he had recently
discovered that George Jones was the greatest singer in the world. Since Pa was
a professional musician I couldn’t doubt what he was telling me, but I had to
understand why he said that. Ever since that day I have listened to every
singer and tried to judge their talent and ability to hit notes and delivery phrasing.
48 years later I have to say that Dad sure knew what he was talking about. I have yet to hear a single human being that could match the vocal talents of Mr. Jones.
R.I.P George love your music .💔💔💔
With all due respect.... Elvis Presley was the best singer to ever to pick up a microphone. Elvis could have been King just on his looks alone without singing a note. But the voice of Elvis Presley is truly the voice of a King. It's probably the single most recognized voice ever. And when it comes to singing and recording I don't think anybody was awarded more than Elvis. He's sold more records than anybody. And I don't think Elvis ever even wrote a single song. Which in a way I believe is a testimon to just how good of a singer he was. So with that being said I do love me some george jones & so I get it how so many people can single him out to be the best of all time I do get that & I can respect that. But I must say this... The king of country is Hank Williams
@@partysugar519 Ralph Emery once stated that 9 out every 10 professional performer he’s interviewed over the years have named George Jones as their favorite singer. A bunch of people have done a reasonable job of imitating Elvis and Hank but not one human being has ever come close to mimicking what George does. I could go on forever but unless you’ve tried to sing yourself, and attempted to do what they do, then you’ll probably never understand.
@@beemerscoot8851 Actually if you look up george jones cover songs you will find several unknowns covering george jones and sounding pretty close to just like him. Furthermore, I listened to Ralph Emery interview George jones and george jones himself said his biggest influence was indeed Hank Williams and Roy Acuff. But it was Hank Williams with the multiple unique up n down pitches n yodeling stuff he did with his voice that could not be mimicked. Even by his own son who became a great country singer in his own right. There's even a Hank Williams the 3rd that tries to sing his granddaddy's songs the same way but trust me even his grandson does not come close to sounding at all like the one and only Hank Williams. I wonder who has sold more records between Jones and Williams.... My money's on Williams. Even though hank died young and had a much shorter career than Jones, hanks probably still sold way more records and I betcha anything Hank Williams has had a far bigger impact on country music as far as being influenzial to future artist. I mean how can you call jones the king when basically he learned from Williams??? I'm pretty sure hank Williams has more hit songs than Jones? and Williams' career was way less than half as long as george jones. Did I mention not even Williams own next of kin can come close to sounding like the great one and only "Father" / "King" of country music??? I've even heard females that cover george jones pretty good. You'll never hear a female or a male for that matter come even half way close to sounding anything like hank williams. But you will find exactly that of george jones covers. My grandpa looks and sounds just exactly like george jones.... Hell even hank Williams very own son hank Jr doesn't look or sound anything like his own Father Hank Sr. So where we at now with this??? Maybe we should make a list of each of their biggest hit songs and see who had the better and most? Again my money's on hank but you gotta remember george had twice as long a career since Hank Williams life was tragically cut short at age 29. I think hank may of even still had more hit songs and even way more influence over country music as a whole than Jones could have possibly have had. I love george jones believe me I do. And as big and great and unique as george jones was. He wouldn't be the headliner if he and Williams were on tour together. No way jones would close the show after Williams think about it....
@@partysugar519 Well … I don’t know if you realize this but 99.99% of the people in this world are just as happy listening to a no-talent bum as they are a world-class singer. That’s simply because they don’t know the difference. Because you seem to believe that recording sales are an indication of a person’s talent, then I have to assume you fit that category. Shoot….Garth Brooks has made more money singing than anybody and on the talent scale he’s a mid-rank amateur at best.
If you really want a challenge then I’m posting a link below to a Jones recording. I only ask that you listen to the ending, specifically the last 3 words. If you can find a recording of anyone that can come close to what George does here, send me your address and I’ll gladly send you a $100 dollar bill. I’ll tell you that my motives are not to prove you wrong, it’s just that I would gladly give anyone $100 that could point me to someone with that kind of talent. For your enjoyment, count all the notes he puts into the last 3 syllables and notice how each one is so “perfectly” on pitch. Good Luck!

Thanks. George is proud.
Thank you so much, I am so glad everyone likes this tribute. I surely spent a great deal of time working on it. I played this for some people at work, and this one older lady that I work with said "wow, Hag, Cash, Conway... when the BEST say that someone is the BEST, you better damn well pay attention"!!!
She summed up how I feel pretty well! Thanks for the kind comment!
I'M SO GLAD THAT I GOT TO HEAR AWESOME. COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER GEORGE JONES. THE POSSUM. RIP TO GEORGE JONES.
Thank you so much for making this. A great tribute for the greatest singer of all time.
A wonderful tribute!
I was recovering from surgery i called my friend i felt so bad about George passing we loved him and his singing.
Mr Jones the man who could sing real country music r.i.p Jones i miss u and always will!!!!
thank you and god bless george jones
Great tribute friend...your heart was in this I know - and I bet you shed quite a few tears in the process of putting it all together. I think you were the one who thanked me for sharing that 20 min of concert footage that the wife and I shot a few short months [Nov 2012, Peoria, IL] before George passed. It's now my turn to thank you for a wonderful video.
There is and always will be the "only" voice in Country Music. R.I.P. Mr. Jones
amazing tribute, ty
awesome compilation and tribute, thanks
what an amazing tribute, to the greatest voice ever, one that makes you think about what your hearing and feel it even more!
Thank you so much for the work you put into this video. What a great compilation!
YES!!!!!!!
He was the best the King of the country music world is George jones your songs have help me on my bad days I love you RIP GEORGE JONES .
my inspiration and and second to Hank Williams sr it's tough to say to me Hank Williams was coldness to country music, George Jones you're what warmed people up to the love of country music it's always tough to determine who's better.. you are the best compared to the rest. thank you for your time also thank you for your service to this country, I am free because of so many veterans
Thank you. I have share many many videos of yours on my classic country and western facebook page. Thank you again :)
I get chills even now if i watch this about George s tribute. So touching great
This was a wonderful tribute to a true legend. All I can say is thanks for the time and effort that you put in to making this video and then for sharing it with his fans.
The Best Tribute to George Jones I have ever Seen, ty 😊
Nicely done sir! R.I.P. George Jones
We can look for a country singer like him never will find Till we leave this world and are with him again !
Wow, that was really something to watch, well done, what a tribute!
Wonderful tribute ❣️ John Burkert thank you ❣️
George could sing, no body sings like George Jones he s the best gets right to your heart.
Thank you so much for this fine tribute to our beloved Possum.. I think I've watched it about 15 times, and I'll probably watch it a couple hundred more.
a great video. great tribute. George's fingerprint on this world can never be erased. the music is the best thats ever been recorded. When he sang a song, it was sung to its fullest. as a native to southeast Texas, its only natural that he would be my personal hero. thank you for this terrific video. and thank you for all the great music that you keep alive here on youtube. God bless George Jones!!
Thank you brother...... best I have seen on our beloved POSSUM!!! God Bless man!!!
Thank you , Mr. Klunket 👍👍👍👍⭐️🎶🎵🎶🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
George built his Jones' Country RV park right over my favorite deer hunting spot in Colmesneil Texas. I found another hunting spot but I'll never find another George Jones. There will never be another voice like the Possum's.
Thank you for taking the time in putting this video together. There is a lot of clips I have never seen before . I truly wish he was still here with us but hey he left me and my children with the best original country music that has ever been and sung by a legend. Thanks again
Thank you George for all you did. You Will always be in our hearts.
I really love this tribute.
Great Tribute! If My Heat Had Windows I would always have the Love Bug for George Jones. You see George, If Not For You I would be The Big Fool Of The Year. For you're not The Old Man No One Loves, instead you're The Real McCoy. Those Tender Years, when The Door sometimes slammed and The USA Today wrote stories about How You Aged 20 Yrs in 5 and If Drinkin' Didn't Kill You her Memory Will. But then you went Bone Dry and we could all say Old George Stopped Drinking Today. Yes we Always Got Lucky With You, and we became a Radio Lover, A People, and a Few Old Country Boys. There were days I wanted to Call A Wrecker For My Heart or Take The Grand Tour, or sometimes just give someone The Bird, but I always realized there would always be Heartaches and Hangovers until She Thinks I Still Care. All I can say is He Stopped Loving Her Today When The Grass grows over You. Good Bye George
This is a great tribute piece. I had the wonderful opportunity to meet George & Nancy several times. And had to miss his concert here in chattanooga. Only way I would miss it, I was in the hospital most of March. George & my Aunt Vestal Goodman recorded together but better still, were dear close friends. I know they are making beautiful music together in Heaven'
thank you so much for the beautiful video you put together of George Jones. I wish my dad was still alive to see it. When I think of George Jones, I always think of my dad who on coming back from from a near death illness (in the hospital) went to his stereo and played "He stopped loving her today" for my mom.
great tribute video
The good Lord bless him with a voice that we will never forget an great songs that touches our hearts rip you was the best
I too was at work and a friend of mine called and passed on the terrible news. However, I didn't have to hide myself... I didn't cry until about 2 days after I heard the news... I was literally in shock... when the shock wore off the tears fell like rain.
I got to watch George's funeral on my birthday. Yep, first time I ever cried on my birthday, and I was 53 years old.
nobody I loved more . RIP George
I love George Jone I have been listening to George jone since I was just a little girl cause thats what my parents listened to and it stuck with me as an adult and he is the greats in my books he will be saddle missed but never for gotten ever
That was so amazing!!! Thank you!!!
Great, Worth the wait.
I’m crying my eyes ❤️🙏 Beautiful tribute 🙏🪽❤️
This breaks my Heart to see him like this, but this is his life this is what he wanted to do and love doing.
