Amen to that. No more of this "country pop". I hate it. I'd rather listen to classic country and The Possum all day long, than put up with what's on that radio now, and I'm 19!
Merle and George both called each other the greatest country singer to ever live. As we are the audience, I think we can all agree they are both the two greatest country singers to ever live. Will never be another like them! RIP my friends.
I'm only 16 but I raised myself off classic country because I hated what the claim as "country" today but I've listend to classic country for 9 years and George jones has always been my favorite. He inspired me to sing I learned how to sing by copying his vocals. I'm so thankful to have George as my idol I still remember the day he passed R.I.P, I sang tramp on your street in class and my teacher started calling me possum that literally made me smile being nicknamed after the person I look up too and love so much
I believe that George Jones is Country music. His style, voice and ability to deliver is better that any one. May GOD bless him and receive him into to heaven.
This was my uncle's favorite singer he passed away the day after Father's Day we played this at his funeral Fly High Uncle Kenny up there dancing with George Jones your mama and your papa until I see you again. 😪😪😪😪😪
For those unaware, this is actually the title track of George's final studio album for Epic Records in 1990. That album was severely under-rated and the label didn't promote any of the songs from it. Although this is a great song...the album's opening song, "Hell Stays Open All Night Long", is also wonderful.
I have that LP, and I've always been in love with George's rendition of "Ol' Red"... George recorded that song before Blake Shelton had a hit with it... Jones should have had the hit, not Shelton! If you listen to both of their vocals and compare them, Jones performance blows Shelton's right out of the water! They aren't even in the same universe!
Merle called him the Greatest Country Artist to ever live and I'd say that's something coming from someone that George Jones considered his favorite country artist.
Merle Haggard was the master. He could write, he could play and he could sing, he could do everything. His life was a country song. George Jones may have been Merle's favorite, but Merle's lyricism alone puts him on another level.
With all due respect to Haggard. Jones was on a different level as a singer than he was. Nobody and I repeat Nobody was even close to his talent level. The absolute greatest singer to ever walk on this earth.
@@dennismosley717 you listen to Haggard when he was younger and I'd have to disagree, Georges voice got better with age Merles didn't go listen to holding things together,
to the 5 thingys , who hit the dislike button on here, dont be coming around country music at all plz , cause if ya find fault with this , its you who are wrong , this is an AMAZING vocal , and anyone with a minute knowledge of singing, would not knock it , this is a one off MASTER at work , and i dont know anyone who could match this , and certainly not out do it ,GEORGE GLEN JONES , was the greatest country singer/stylist , that country music will ever have
pat hayes Different people have different tastes in singers and there are different styles of country music and have been in the past few decades. I like this song but others can love country music and not like it. My favorite of the old timers is Conway Twitty. I'd love to have heard him sing this.
You got that right Pat anybody that would give George Jones a thumbs down or to be took out back to the Woodshed and the hell beat out of them they must be a damn communist
It just dawned on me as I was listening to this for the millionth time this morning, Not only the good traditional country sound is being forgotten, but there is another aspect of the art that has fallen by the wayside... spoken verse. I LOVE IT when an entertainer would break off into a verse or two of spoken word in their songs. It takes a lot of talent to put the right amount of emotion into their speaking voice when doing narration during a song. I love it! Jones did it flawlessly here.
Man I know it's been 4 years since you left this comment but I hope you receive it cuz you hit the nail on the head buddy I can tell by reading your comment that you feel towards George Jones as I do and many others do you're right my friend he was absolutely the best and he was flawless
don,t get any better than george played his 23 years on my radio show, biggest thrill him an nancy spoke with over phone sent me a picture and book why baby why and he autographed them wow, thanks klunket for putting this great song on the tube
George is the king of country music. Personally, I think he was at his best in the 90s. Country has turned into crappy rock with a fiddle in it. All these Luke Bryan and Taylor Swift fans don't know what country music is. If it don't got fiddle and steel guitar, its not a country song.
this is a real good song espesially when george sings it im 13 years old and i dream to bring country music back not this new country rap stuff this is country the way its meant to be
I never knew this song was written by Roger Miller. I have never heard Roger's version, and I like his songs, but I suppose this by George must be the ultimate 100% perfect version.
His master voice speaks louder than all before him, and those on their way. His voice , songs, and music will live forever; real and genuine Country at it's best.
I LOVE this. I am going to be an assistant director for the musical "BIG RIVER" in the Spring of 2012, this song is sung by the character Mary Jane, it's beautiful when she does it, but it tears my heart to pieces to hear George sing it!
It's been a little over 5 years now American people have lost not only a great singer but a great man rest in peace George we all love you and Nancy may God be with you and may God bless you
Hi, Tony. For me, George IS the greatest. I can't think of anyone that is greater, although we know there are a lot of great ones. Best wishes, Helene.
Yes sir!!! When the BEST of the BEST would call someone the best, that is really saying something! I've said this a thousand times but when asked, almost every single legendary artist in and outside of the genre, folks who were considered the very best of their field, people like Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Dolly Parton (the list goes on and on) would say that they WISH that they could sing like George Jones. It is hard to grasp just how prolific it is when someone who rose to the top of their fields and are loved by millions would say that they wish they could sound like someone else... I don't know that any other artist has ever been so admired and praised on such a level. Waylon Jennings quoted during an interview many years ago "If we could all sing like we wanted to and sounded like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones". That quote just about sums it up for me! Sadly, the ONLY performer on EARTH who didn't appreciate how insanely good George Jones was, was George Jones himself. He never understood all of the "fuss" as he would call it. My wife would always say that "George Jones was proof that God loves Country Music, why else would he put all of that talent into just one man?"
KLUNKET completely agree. Even Frank Sinatra said of Jones "He's the second greatest singer in the world." (obviously referring to himself as best, mostly in jest)
The Possum in my opinion is one ofthe greatest examples of the Heart of country music outside of Hank Sr. The 'Pop Country ' of today isn't Country. .and that's really sad.
Without you baby I'm so lonesome. Too many idiots here. Not saying I'm a genius but some of them drive me crazy. My smile isn't real anymore. Two years ago it was...I miss you sweetheart. I listen to your music but it makes me even more lonely. I love you.
"If teardrops are falling where you are tonight, then"... you're probably listening to George Jones sing a country ballad to absolute perfection. I could listen to George sing this song a thousand times and he could still make my tears flow a thousand times. No one will ever come close to Geroge's voice quality and the emotion he put into a song. I've never seen or heard anyone truly be in the moment and "be the song" any better than George did it every time he sang. I believe he was able to do this because he had lived every song he ever sang. He lived a lot of lives in his time. George will never know how much his family, friends and fans truly miss him but I hope he knew how many people he made smile, cry and even laugh (he had a great sense of humor). I hope he knew how much he was loved by so many.

Yes most of country music has went to the other side. But garth and blake ,allen are still here.........
Merle and George both called each other the greatest country singer to ever live. As we are the audience, I think we can all agree they are both the two greatest country singers to ever live. Will never be another like them! RIP my friends.

The haunting emotion of a true master. This is country as it should be. There will never be another like George.

@@bigbadjohn8099 You are absolutely right none better than George

Robert Reed... George was a gentleman and had alot of respect for Merle Haggard... Haggard was one of his favorites still living to that day
George Always sing from the Heart.

He never sang a song, he performed it with passion and his own touch Had to love him !!
GEORGE AND TAMMY ALL THE WAY.

George is the Greatest hands down. No other singer can bring you to your knees on each note
I DID NOT KNOW ROGER MILLER COULD WRITE A SONG LIKE THIS .LOVED IT. GEORGE JONES AND HANK WILLIAMS CAN BRING YOU TO TEARS .I LOVE SAD SONGS.
Barbara McBee From Roger Miller’s musical, Big River. Quite a few songs from that show which are just as good.
Roger Miller wrote one of my very favorites, HALF A MIND.
Best singer of all music and genres one of a kind
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG INDEED
If you don't like it you don't have to listen to it. Its great n here befor you was leave it alone.
There will NEVER be another man or singer like George but damnit I am trying!
George is the king of country music. Personally, I think he was at his best in the 90s. Country has turned into crappy rock with a fiddle in it. All these Luke Bryan and Taylor Swift fans don't know what country music is. If it don't got fiddle and steel guitar, its not a country song.
A lot of people can't see this, but you’re right. Love him. Kind of partial to him since he was born and raised not far from me!
One my all time favorites......
George will never be topped
Simply as hood as it gets.....
this is a real good song espesially when george sings it im 13 years old and i dream to bring country music back not this new country rap stuff this is country the way its meant to be
excellent, this kids is how it's done.
Is there another country song that embraces your entire body and emotions, just name it
Will miss you with every fiber if my being- have a grand reunion with your fellow country music singers.....fly easy George
it dont get any better than that people....
Very true!!!
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 5 Sep 22.
I never knew this song was written by Roger Miller. I have never heard Roger's version, and I like his songs, but I suppose this by George must be the ultimate 100% perfect version.
Nobody can sing like George!

Probably my favorite Roger Miller composition
Best countrysinger ever.we miss u George.Big fan from norway.RIP.
Fill his shoes?? Don't think so!
Great country song sung by the King of country... 🎙
True country the way it should be.
The Possum in my opinion is one ofthe greatest examples of the Heart of country music outside of Hank Sr. The 'Pop Country ' of today isn't Country. .and that's really sad.
They don't know what to sing about anymore. They know dam well they can't sing like this. The only one i can think of is alan jackson.
Without you baby I'm so lonesome. Too many idiots here. Not saying I'm a genius but some of them drive me crazy. My smile isn't real anymore. Two years ago it was...I miss you sweetheart. I listen to your music but it makes me even more lonely. I love you.
Best Singer of country ,I hate he,s gone , love his voice .
Beautiful, this song makes me remember those I've lost. RIP
Damn George! You were phenomenal…Possum you were simply the Best All around talent. Thanks for all these years❤❤❤❤
Thats pure class. What a legend.
Thanks.
2024 still listening to George 😂 👍🎶🎶
GREAT!!! ++++ Thanks for sharing:)
