To quote Waylon Jennings, “If we could all sing like we wanted to, we’d all sound like George Jones”. Great video!
Thanks Bob. I am working on Johnny Rodriguez now
@Bob Liberatore The video on Johnny Rodrigues is up and running. I hope you enjoy it.
"GEORGE JONES, THE GREATEST COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER IN THE WORLD." ❤ R.I.P. WE MISS YOU SIR.
Anen
I seen George in concert over a half dozen times. It was truly an honor to spend an hour or so a night having the legend of country music entertain me.
I have to admit I am jealous. There will only be one George Jones. No one will ever fill his shoes. I thank you for watching and sharing your experience with this one of a kind artist.
I'm Koori from Australia
Darling l love George Jones
cool ,what was the first year you saw him ?
@peterbetts858 this would have been late 80s, 88 or 89. Every year he came with Conway. Great shows. One year Loretta Lynn was with them. I was able to bring my grandmother who was born and raised in the hills of Corbin Ky. Huge Loretta Lynn fan. That's a show i'll never forget. 3 legends in Country Music. What a treat when her and Conway did the encore.
Arguably the best Country music singer ever!
If not The Best.
There will never be another George Jones
Agree 100%
Yes the best.
I would never argue the fact that George Jones isn't just the greatest country singer ever, but George Jones is country music!
The King of Country! Never be another George! Rip !
Amen and Amen. Thanks for watching Elaine.
All you can say is,wow George Jones. Was my daddy's favorite. His music will live on forever!!!!
I agree with you on that. Thanks for watching
As a military brat we lived in the southwest as kids. My first and only job as a teen was in record stores during the late 70s-early 80s. I grew up on mostly R&B/Soul, Jazz, Funk, Blues and Gospel with just a sprinkling of country... Charlie Pride. I recall playing George Jones albums for customers while working and fell in love with his singing. He had the perfect soulful country voice that stays with you forever, and to this day he remains my favorite male country singer. Merle Haggard's in a close second. RIP Mr Jones.
Amen and Amen 🙏🤠
What a voice! Frank Sinatra famously called Jones "the second best singer in America." I was fortunate enough to see him twice, once with Tammy while they were married. My husband, a die-hard rocker skeptical of country, was blown away the first time he heard Jones and became an enduring fan. We saw him in Austin in the early 90s.
That I bet was great. Thank you for watching and thank you for sharing
Remember seeing Jones mid 60s Knoxville Tn. he was so drunk he could hardly stand,
Love this man I wish he was still alive
We do too
I am amazed Jones held it together as well as he did. I suspect many country singers have had hellish lives. Your work is great in dealing respectfully and honestly with all aspects of their lives. Thank you as always!
I have to respect it. I have lived it. I lost it just like he did. To use a line from "Tennessee Whiskey" "I always found the bottom of the bottle was always dry" Took me five years of drinking a fifth everyday to learn it.
as always my friend I thank you for your kind words.
@@CMSProductions I too had struggles, Valium was my worst. My way to survive turned out to be Zen meditation 🧘♂️ and living in a Zen temple in Honolulu where I am now. Guess what? The Japanese priests love country music...Buck Owens and Hank Williams are held in high esteem 🙃 🙂 I'm not joking. We all share the human condition and are very alike despite superficial differences...thanks again!
Amazing story, brilliant singer never will be forgotten.
I am glad you enjoyed it. I agree. I don't think anyone will ever be able to fill his shoes.
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…
There are only a handful left of the original country artists left. We know who they are, and when we hear on the news on whatever random day it happens to be, we'll say " now there's one less, and soon, 20-25 years maybe...there will be none........d.
As George said in his song. Whose gonna fill their shoes.
@@CMSProductions you said it! No one will or can fill 'em....ever!
Great song!
He was my dad's favorite and I grew up listening to his music and haveing the pleasure of seeing him live and being on his bus getting his autograph at. Brown county Indiana I have seen him many times he is and Will be the greatest singer of all time in my book
We agree
My nanny's favorite singer ❤she loved him so much, and even though I'm not a country fan I will never change the station if I hear a George Jones tune come on ❤❤
Sweet
Mr.Jones was the original rock star. Doing what he wanted to do and living the way he wanted too long before any of the rock Stars of his day. Most of the country singers did drugs and raised hell as much if not more than any rock Stars of their day , the just kept it quiet. I would like to think Mr Jones for all his talent and entertainment.
Amen and Amen
Choices is one of his best.
I agree it is one of his best. I also love High Tech Redneck. I use it as my theme song.
I've added it to my George Jones playlist.
Thank you
GOD BLESS NANCY❤
Amen and Amen
He made it! All that haunted him thru life he began faced and wrote in his songs. I think this was the only way he could tell all his family and friends how he felt, for them to understand why he was, the way he was. He wrote it in songs how and why he was the way he was, and finally realized what hurt he had caused both himself and ones that loved him. It’s hard to understand why you are the way you are, until you start accepting yourself and what you have done, from there you work from then to now and admit the why of your choices, explain them accept them, and apologize for them. This way he was at peace with himself and his god before he died.
What he hadn’t understood prior to this, was what a wonderful person he truly was. It took a lot of years in his last marriage for his stay strong wife to finally make him see, just how truly valuable he was to his family and his fans. She succeeded in this and so did Jones. Great man all around, no one will compare.
I agree with you whole heartedly. All you have to so is listen to him sing "Choices" In the end we are all here for a purpose. We are given gifts by our maker to help others through their journey in life. If we choose. It is our choices that lead us to where we are. As the lyrics say in the song "Even if we choice not to choice then we have still made a choice."
George never drove a john deere mower to a liquor store . it was a cub cadet according to him in his biography .
you are right. Sorry for the confusion.
I did. And I loved still. I am 67.
cool
Wow! That was awesome! You pulled everything together and provided a huge perspective. I actually cried at the end. I learned so much from this, and it won't be the last time I watch it. You ought to win some sort of award for this wonderful bio.
I am glad you enjoyed it. I know it is long by RUclips standards but I wanted to do him justice. As far as the crying I joined you there. Tha22222222222222222222nks for the wonderful complement and if you have other suggestions I hope you will share them. and as always feel free to subscribe. I really want this channel to be like a family
@@CMSProductions I did subscribe. I hope your channel gets the views and subscribers it deserves. Your bios are so good, so thorough, and so well produced.
Thank you that means a lot. By the way I meant to tell you that you handle on RUclips sounds like the name of a country group. I love it
@@CMSProductions It is the name of a country group, the group I play in. If you go to my channel, you will find the lead video is "George, Jack Daniels & Me." It is not exactly a tribute song, but a song I wrote as a "deep respect" song.
I love George Jones this was awesome. Never forget him favorite song Tennessee Whiskey and I'm a Christian and do not drink but the song touches my heart
I Love George And Tammy together, i really think they loved each other until both of their deaths. My opinion!!
We agree
What George performed with Elvis in 1955
There was a lot of them that we of the Louisiana Hayride that performed together. Back then you played where ever and when ever.
Jones ask me to go over to USA 1988
Well did he do the same thing when he was married to Tammy
Yes he did
It's George Glenn Jones...not George Washington Jones....get it right.
Learn to Listen. George Washington Jones was his father
