Was always a huge fan of George and Tammy..played them all the time,but I didn't ever expect this to happen..after picking up my 7 year old daughter one day from school we did our usual went to Taco Bell to pick up her nachos..making the best of it laughing and just talking..when we got home we was headed for the door when she just started singing this song..with all of exact words and I just looked at her as she just kept walking and singing..loved that moment of time when I was in awe and It meant so much ❤️
It wasn't very long after Tammy and George got a divorce that several of us went to see Tammy in Concert, she had sang about six songs when all of a sudden George Jones comes out on stage, you could tell Tammy was as surprised as the audience was, her and George sang about six songs together and then George just turned around and left the stage. What a special night it was to see Tammy and George singing together. There was never any ill will between the two after their divorce.
Country singers don't have the authentic, distinctive and various (Texan, deep south rural, Appalachian, etc) accents anymore, so that's one reason it doesn't sound the same anymore. These people didn't grow up with teevee, the earlier ones didn't even grow up with radio, and might not hear anything but the local accent almost all their lives, which reinforced it and kept it undiluted. Also, it seems a lot of them were older and had real hard life experiences before they hit. But even the younger ones, back then, would have known hardship and poverty, living in rural isolation for at least their youths, that no person today can really fathom, what with global communication and mass media. I think these things pretty much ensure that country music can't ever sound the way it did in its Golden Age. It just can't ever have that deep-rooted, distinctive authenticity from those days. All the tailgating, beer drinking, 4wheel mud riding in the world won't change these underlying factors which made such a difference in the sound and sensibility of early country and bluegrass. Nobody grows up picking cotton or starve now. Even if we manage to hold onto some rural sensibility, just the strength of accent won't ever be the same.
MelanieALF I've said the very same thing for for decades. If you're familiar with mahalia jackson her voice could make angels weep it was so beautiful, because the hardship of her life came through , the same with our great country singers
A cent fir areas have changed since television and radio people hear more get around these days. Do there s not the locale accents there once was. That what made tgese country singers earlier times well 30 so 50 years ago great singers
That truth her music live on forever and ever years come was always radio listener of country music. Radio no junk music can't understand words or song. Both up in heaven now.
RIP George Jones (September 12, 1931 - April 26, 2013), aged 81 And RIP Tammy Wynette (May 5, 1942 - April 6, 1998), aged 55 You both will be remembered as legends.
Yeah they were good together. Too bad it didn't work for them in the marriage department. He admitted in the end he was a bad boozer throughout his marriage. He became a born again Christian before he died.
I love it when Tammy turns to the camera and takes her first verse. So serious! But then George comes in and she can't help but light up and looks like she's going to start laughing. Love that.
Llegué aquí por la serie Tammy & Georges(altamente recomendada) Estoy asombradísima de la calidad de estos artistas...sólo abren la boca y la magia sucede...
There is only one thing I can say about the greatest singer ever on this planet you're a legend Marty sadly you were taken from this planet too soon in life god bless my friend RIP your memory will always live on ❤😢
Actually they’re watching each other‘s lips very closely while they are singing. Tammy had a very hard time staying in sync with George, because of this in the studio George would cut his part first and then Tammy would harmonize with the recording of Jones. When they would do TV appearances such as this they would stare at each other‘s lips to keep in sync with each other.
Considering George was a decade older than Tammy and lived a decade longer when men usually die five years younger. George was given a lot considered his self destructive behavior . I think God loves his wayward sons.
Wow, my man, Possum, had some serious mutton chops in those days. She looks like she's scared of George here. They had an incredibly tumultuous relationship, and he was a very intense dude. They did have the best voices in the business, though. Nobody else compares.
I love listening to them sing together. It's a shame they ended up in a "two-story" marriage. George is the best country music singer there ever was. And, I'm not that much of a fan of country. Of course, I think that's partly because of the stuff they call country music these days. Very little of that worth listening to.
Lonesometraveler99 That's the million dollar question. I think the answer to use the Spanish saying "Es lo que hay" - That's all there is, at least on commercial country radio. There are some good country songs/recordings out there, but very few and far between as radio is concerned. The average is way, way down - catastrophically down.
That's just before Tammy ended the marriage. George went down hill from there whilst tammy was out dating and remarried a number of times. George needed help and Tammy took the easy way out
@@hopesheppard477George flat out refused help for his drinking every time it was offered, so you can get off that sanctimonious BS. Plus, they had fierce fights. Jones once chased her through their home with a loaded rifle. When they toured together after the divorce, he'd miss concerts due to heavy drinking and doing cocaine, so you can stop blaming Tammy for their divorce.
I'm no fan of country music but George and Tammy have amazing voices. I'm here after looking up "the race is on" because it was covered by the Grateful Dead. He's got piercing eyes! Fascinating...
Dig those orange pants worn by the possum and the ultra cool sideburns! Never seen him with this much weight. He looks so good! Too bad what was happening and what would happen later with his alcohol and drug abuse. Thank GOD he lived through it and turned his life around with the help of Nancy.
The man that wrote this song with George and Tammy is named Earl "Peanutt" Montgomery. He was the preacher at my wedding and sang this song to me and my husband after he anounced us Mr. and Mrs. Richards. This will forever be "our song". It was very akward at the time, but after I researched it...I realized how special it is. :)
This country music song should be today some is other junk music this pure country music sound. Always enjoy this song back then in 1970s on radio. Always enjoy both there music though years still do today.
Them as a couple plus the voices and style was a match made in heaven, it was too bad they couldn't make it work but there is only so much a relationship can stand. He always loved her.
There are actually 2 movies coming out about them in 2018. Jessica Chastain plays Tammy and Josh Brolin plays George in one based on her daughter Georgette's book. The other one is "No Show Jones"(don't know who is in it ). There are 2 shows about George and Tammy on Cinemax coming out in Oct 2017 (episodes 3 & 4) of "Tales From The Tour Bus." i.blogs.es/81fb4b/tales-bus/1024_2000.jpg
In 1981 Annette OToole and Tim McIntyre played George and Tammy. Annette OToole sang Tammy’s songs on her own. Very good movie about Tammy’s life before George and their marriage and divorce. Love that movie as I listen to Tammy Wynette and George Jones all the time.
I'm 21 years old and I'm a fan kg the old. Country music it not like shut we got today I'm a fan of George Jones Garth Brooks Conway twitty Hank Williams Tammy Ricky van Shelton oak ridge boys people might think I'm dumb into the old class country music but I was rise up on it
This was my music when I was a teenager and today it still is, no new country songs do it for me now , I rehash Tammy, George, Johnny and June all the time
All the country magic George and Tammy their generation is anout the ladt generstion to grow up in real isolated rural country. I did too we did not have the outside influences like there is niw. They just sing their own only way they know it s real country the way ppl talked then best magic. Never be again no mire
Just love this you can see the magic between them, I really feel bad that George went the wrong way. Tammy never recovered after the divorce but she could not live with drink and drugs. Miss them always
So much talent right there... God I wish I could have seen them in Concert but I was too Young when they were around.. Miss them both.. Tammy died way too young
Tammy Wynette sings the opening chords like the Superstar that she was no wonder Keith Richards was an admirer...only wish this song only lasted 2 44 mins George Jones couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth...she had to tour alone after the divorce with George what a shame...
Patti Houston, I hated George Richey! I think George Jones would have quit drinking and Tammy could have got off the drugs. But, I know they did reunite in heaven! Nancy Jones THE SONG: HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY WAS NEVER ABOUT YOU.
No, I have an ex-wife like that. We were just too young and didn't know ourselves well enough to give ourselves away. We didn't know what we needed so there was no way to give someone what they needed. We didn't know enough about what was out there to know what we really had at home. We both made huge mistakes and treated the other badly but We loved each other like I've never seen before or since. I hope you have all the happiness, and joy that I couldn't give you K.T. (that's how she likes to spell it) We were married 3 years together for 5. I was 20-25 and she was 16-21. Our divorce was final December 3 2006. I truly hope she is as happy as can be
Compare this excellence to the one sounds like another crap called country these days. This is real country as it should be. Long live genuine country. RIP George and Tammy.
There will never be another Tammy & George!! I'm sure they're singing together with the angels.
Hold on.
Mister Carolina hold on what
That sounds like Jones' personal version of hell, stuck on stage with Tammy forever.
Was always a huge fan of George and Tammy..played them all the time,but I didn't ever expect this to happen..after picking up my 7 year old daughter one day from school we did our usual went to Taco Bell to pick up her nachos..making the best of it laughing and just talking..when we got home we was headed for the door when she just started singing this song..with all of exact words and I just looked at her as she just kept walking and singing..loved that moment of time when I was in awe and It meant so much ❤️
Such a beautiful pair of voices. Masterpiece
True love never dies.i know they both moved on but through it all I know that they had love for each other.God bless them both!!!!!! Country legends!!
I just love how he looks at her...you can tell he really loved her
They are both gone now and no one will ever replace them
I agree that no one can replace them

Milton Williams .... they remained friends, but they did not Hold On! SAD
Milton Williams
WOULD HAVE LOVE TO HAVE BEEN THERE THEY WERE SOULMATES HERE AND IN HEAVEN
How Life Should Be, Amen.
wow what a great duo
The loving way George looks at Tammy,he adored her so much.
he looked so good and happy in this

What year was the song
The accents now are fake, they just want to sound like what they deem to be country.
A cent fir areas have changed since television and radio people hear more get around these days. Do there s not the locale accents there once was. That what made tgese country singers earlier times well 30 so 50 years ago great singers
Also....the songs are too sonically polished. they autotune and pitch correct everything.
tammy sure looked beautiful.
Most definately :))
She didn't live very long. Tammy had a host of serious health issues that shortened her life. But we do have her music to listen to.
Ralph Zecher h
That truth her music live on forever and ever years come was always radio listener of country music. Radio no junk music can't understand words or song. Both up in heaven now.
She was lay to rest on April 9 my birthday. Sad why always remember her music though years.
RIP George Jones (September 12, 1931 - April 26, 2013), aged 81
And
RIP Tammy Wynette (May 5, 1942 - April 6, 1998), aged 55
You both will be remembered as legends.
Love love love this!!!
The harmonizing between these two is unbelievable.
Reverent, Amen.............
Goosebumps 💞
Yeah they were good together. Too bad it didn't work for them in the marriage department. He admitted in the end he was a bad boozer throughout his marriage. He became a born again Christian before he died.
Cringe it’s horrible
It was good enough, it wasn't remarkable. They were good together until they weren't.
I love it when Tammy turns to the camera and takes her first verse. So serious! But then George comes in and she can't help but light up and looks like she's going to start laughing. Love that.
Llegué aquí por la serie Tammy & Georges(altamente recomendada) Estoy asombradísima de la calidad de estos artistas...sólo abren la boca y la magia sucede...
These 2, incredible. Tammy......what a beauty, one of a kind.
Love hearing these too sing together
this is music
There is only one thing I can say about the greatest singer ever on this planet you're a legend Marty sadly you were taken from this planet too soon in life god bless my friend RIP your memory will always live on ❤😢
Best duet EVER, bar NONE, end of subject! Tammy is the sweetest soul ever to walk a stage -- and with the voice of a sultry angel!
No
lovely duet and great upload....thank you.....
Love how they look at each other while singing....why do great love stories ever have to end? :( So sad!
Yeah I saw in an interview she just met him before they went on stage to sing
Actually they’re watching each other‘s lips very closely while they are singing. Tammy had a very hard time staying in sync with George, because of this in the studio George would cut his part first and then Tammy would harmonize with the recording of Jones. When they would do TV appearances such as this they would stare at each other‘s lips to keep in sync with each other.
She was glowing around ol George. Sad it didn’t last.
Man he was a goofball but so lovable
He apparently was an alcoholic which can kill any relationship sadly
Considering George was a decade older than Tammy and lived a decade longer when men usually die five years younger. George was given a lot considered his self destructive behavior . I think God loves his wayward sons.
TAMMY AND GEORGE HAS ALWAYS LOVED EACH OTHER AND WILL ALWAYS!! RIP ❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️
Hello Sue
How are you doing today?
Amen to that. !!!!love them both❤
Just a timeless classic song.. Everything about it. George and Tammy are effortless together.
At 50 seconds into the video George realizes he's gotta bring his A-Game !!! LOL !
LOL Yup you are right! hahaa
LOL. Laser focused he was after that.
Wow, my man, Possum, had some serious mutton chops in those days.
She looks like she's scared of George here. They had an incredibly tumultuous relationship, and he was a very intense dude. They did have the best voices in the business, though. Nobody else compares.
that is truly country music.
She has a heavenly voice
I love listening to them sing together. It's a shame they ended up in a "two-story" marriage. George is the best country music singer there ever was. And, I'm not that much of a fan of country. Of course, I think that's partly because of the stuff they call country music these days. Very little of that worth listening to.
George truly loved Tammy and she loved him 😊
Hello how are you today 😊😊
Tammy is my favorite country music singer her voice and style just sends me.
The real country music. Who's gonna fill their shoes?
I could sit and listen to this all day long. I miss the good old days.
shame you cant see duets like thios anymore.I guess because they dont sing country music anymore
She always comes off as beautiful and ladylike...graceful...
George Jones - what a unique and wonderful voice! RIP.
Great song by the BEAT country duo of all time. We miss you two and will always love you. RIP
Never get tired of listening to the two singing !!!!!
I'll never get tired of listening to them sing
Tammy was the unrivalled queen of county and western music..
Y'all got to watch the "Tales From The Tourbus" cartoons of them!! George would go nuts! Lol.
Rest their souls.
They both have those crying voices😢😢😢😢💕💕💕💕
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊
How do people listen to the literal shit that's contemporary country music when we once had this?
Lonesometraveler99 That's the million dollar question. I think the answer to use the Spanish saying "Es lo que hay" - That's all there is, at least on commercial country radio. There are some good country songs/recordings out there, but very few and far between as radio is concerned. The average is way, way down - catastrophically down.
we going miss him. he was best singer ever. now he in heven with tammy wyntte singing for god now
I love you America!!!

How can anyone give this song a thumbs down? It’s real country from the greatest duet ever. If you don’t like country don’t even rate it
Love this song, I've never seen George with some weight on his bones, he wore it well
I agree... He looks great...
That's just before Tammy ended the marriage. George went down hill from there whilst tammy was out dating and remarried a number of times. George needed help and Tammy took the easy way out

RIP and Rock Those Side Burns in Heaven :) Miss you already-You are my favorite of all times
I'm no fan of country music but George and Tammy have amazing voices. I'm here after looking up "the race is on" because it was covered by the Grateful Dead. He's got piercing eyes! Fascinating...
Deadhead here that loved their version
this is pure country music
A song that describes what all married couples must endeavor to accomplish and strive to attain.
Country music at its best, now singing in heaven.
Dig those orange pants worn by the possum and the ultra cool sideburns! Never seen him with this much weight. He looks so good! Too bad what was happening and what would happen later with his alcohol and drug abuse. Thank GOD he lived through it and turned his life around with the help of Nancy.

Boy they really sang well together and i think that both still loved each other
The two greatest country singers of all time.

My two favorite singers of all time. The two most beautiful singing voices ever. Both sound magical every time I hear them.
Them as a couple plus the voices and style was a match made in heaven, it was too bad they couldn't make it work but there is only so much a relationship can stand. He always loved her.
Tammy looks so beautiful
Going to hold on!
we need a good movie about Tammy and George

In 1981 Annette OToole and Tim McIntyre played George and Tammy. Annette OToole sang Tammy’s songs on her own. Very good movie about Tammy’s life before George and their marriage and divorce. Love that movie as I listen to Tammy Wynette and George Jones all the time.
Y
That move was Stand by Your Man starring Annette OToole and Tim McIntyre as George and Tammy back in 1981. Annette can sing like Tammy.
I would only watch a movie about George if he had given it the go ahead.
December 12, 2023 yes in dee dee
love our country contributors....2024
hello how are you doing today 😮😊
I'm 21 years old and I'm a fan kg the old. Country music it not like shut we got today I'm a fan of George Jones Garth Brooks Conway twitty Hank Williams Tammy Ricky van Shelton oak ridge boys people might think I'm dumb into the old class country music but I was rise up on it
You're not dumb! Good taste and good music is like common sense... not so common. Old school country is the BEST. Be proud :))
This was my music when I was a teenager and today it still is, no new country songs do it for me now , I rehash Tammy, George, Johnny and June all the time
When Jones got done singing it, you can close the book because it’s done.
she was so f'n beautiful in that video !!!
Their wonderful music lives on and that's all that matters. Thank you Tammy, thank you George. All the pain and hurtin is over.
Just think the two of the best country singer's are now in heaven
He was a MAN and she was a LADY! Class act!
for all the newbies, this is when they had no effects, this is how it was. Awsome!!!!!
John P I love your pic of Eddie. Metal and Classic country are both awesome.
All the country magic George and Tammy their generation is anout the ladt generstion to grow up in real isolated rural country. I did too we did not have the outside influences like there is niw. They just sing their own only way they know it s real country the way ppl talked then best magic. Never be again no mire
I love this song....this song came out before I was born but I am in love with it
That hair is out of this world. Is that Aquanet or fiberglass?
Just love this you can see the magic between them, I really feel bad that George went the wrong way. Tammy never recovered after the divorce but she could not live with drink and drugs. Miss them always

Inspite of all they went through with each other,it seems like they were each others true love💔
So much talent right there... God I wish I could have seen them in Concert but I was too Young when they were around.. Miss them both.. Tammy died way too young
I agree with everyone. I like to think that George is with Tammy right now. No disrespect intended to miss Nancy.
Is that a wig??
Either way its flipping awesome!
Agreed! :))
As a drag queen I can comfirm it is a wig
SharkSport
No I'm pretty sure that's George's real hair.
Tammy Wynette sings the opening chords like the Superstar that she was
no wonder Keith Richards was an admirer...only wish this song only lasted 2 44 mins
George Jones couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth...she had to tour alone after the divorce with George what a shame...
2006 and into infinity... Christina Mae Bush and Brad Lee Houghton and our children forever and ever !!!!!!!
The best ever
Two of the best singers ever George Jones & Tammy Wynette, irene Simler
Fue Bestia rver
Patti Houston, I hated George Richey! I think George Jones would have quit drinking and Tammy could have got off the drugs. But, I know they did reunite in heaven! Nancy Jones THE SONG: HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY WAS NEVER ABOUT YOU.
This makes me smile 😃. Tammy elbows George during song as implying “... don’t make laugh “
2020 anyone?
Thats one slick Country Possom! Miss Tammy ravishing and on point as always. 🙏🕊 🦡💐
no THOSE are proper side burns
No, I have an ex-wife like that. We were just too young and didn't know ourselves well enough to give ourselves away. We didn't know what we needed so there was no way to give someone what they needed. We didn't know enough about what was out there to know what we really had at home. We both made huge mistakes and treated the other badly but We loved each other like I've never seen before or since. I hope you have all the happiness, and joy that I couldn't give you K.T.

Two of the most iconic voices in country music if your a country fan and don't know atleast 5 of their songs are you really a country fan
Compare this excellence to the one sounds like another crap called country these days. This is real country as it should be. Long live genuine country. RIP George and Tammy.
He beat her, harsh.
Music yes timeless country but the Back stories pretty brutal
George and Tammy were made so perfectly in every way to be great singers and entertainers ! Everything about them is perfect.
I love Tammy, such a distinct voice and love her music.
Ya know what I love about these two. They never tried to sing over one another. The best in country music
RIP George,,, ya'll can hold on to each other again now
George, May you sing with the angels !!
