I completely understand how this songs clearly makes you feel and I know just how emotional exactly how it feels to lose the person we love, I lost my wife 4yrs ago on a crossroads she was hit by a drunk truck driver, It’ would be nice to talk to you more if you don’t mind ??
No one will ever have the talent of yesterdays real musicians. They sell their souls to the devil today and for the price of their soul they get maybe 5 years of Soundstage technology to make them sound good enough to mimic talent.
@@jeanricketts6880 Couldn’t agree more Jean. these legends have given us so much through their music. I’d love to connect and share more memories and favorites if you’re up for it!
@jonnyapples9429 unfortunately I was to young to really remember him talking about it but I'll ask my mother and get back to you. I know he was a handyman and did a lot of work for a few country stars.
Nobody can fill their shoes. I don't think we'll ever hear country like this ever again and it breaks my heart. Tag me so I'll know everyone that agrees with me.
Its heartbreaking that these great singers aren't here today because I grew up listening to george kenny and all them other great artists. Kudos to you guys
No you're not, good music is good people, roots are where we all begin! Our rock generation came from this and it is the simpler times we remember with our Grandparents!✌❤🎸
Back before the studios controlled what they wrote and sang. No one can fill their shoes because they weren't looking for fame and money. They sang from the heart.
Easily one of the best tribute songs ever. I am far from the greatest country fan ever but when I see the faces the of giants who've passed, I feel the emptiness.
What's most telling about this masterpiece is George might as well be paying tribute to himself. Easily one of the greatest country songs ever from the genius himself. RIP GJ
@@BKKri77er um, that's not what the expression means. Basically, it means, 'Who will take their place as the legends of country music?', not who will copy them.
Not to disagree with you, but Garth Brooks, Alabama, George Straight, John Micheal Montgomery, Alan Jackson to name a few could fill their predecessors. But the question is "Who will fill THEIR shoes, when those were the last of Country's greats.
@@edwardcollins8102 I'm sure that somewhere right now the very next revolutionary country music artist is in the first grade and studying hard. (Fingers crossed)
It's very rare an artist pays tribute to other artists in such a wholesome and touching way, especially when said artist is one that so many others look up too!
The outlaw walking - I am older & was lucky enough to see most mentioned including "no show" himself. He did show. Never listen to current what ever is not country today. No One is answer to question.
Oh man, love this! So many memories with this... it was from 1985, the year my wife and I married. And like us, she died on me and now I know how much intense grief he suffered when his wife died... this year (2025) it will be 40 years since this song... and when I was married. Time flies...
This song means more and more the older you get. Its not until more years are behind you than in front of you that we can respect the efforts of all those who lived before us and tried to make a difference in a world that is filled with turmoil.
My grandfather starts to cry every time this song comes on and he told me that it will hit me the older I get and he is the reason I love most classics and I will have too deal with geddy lee dying and Alice cooper
I’m okay until 3:56. “Old Marty, Hank and Lefty. Why I can feel em right here with me, on this Silver Eagle rolling through the night.” I burst into tears every time. Best country lyric performance of all time.
I agree with you and admire your good sense of humor, I guess you're a country music lover? His song are emotional when it comes to good music, you deserve a compliment .... How are you doing today? God bless you and your family
No artist wants to feel another man's shoes and the greats of our time and handed down Through Time only because there's enough of people that know real country their lips move and give testimony to singers those greats of our time.. I think there is one or two @LEFTY@ Y
I know I'm getting older, but my roots are with all those singers. Each has pulled at my heart at least once. God rest each of you, I look forward to hearing your songs once we meet.
I’m an old woman now and I’ve lived long enough to see so many of these great country music artists leave us. This song really speaks volumes! George Jones, I miss you and I will until I die.
There’s no one to fill those shoes. Some things only come once . George Jones was one of a kind. In reality we are all one of a kind. God must think that’s a good thing or it wouldn’t be so.

I'm not trying to contradict anything you are saying about the great country music musicians but Conway Twitty sang "Hello Darlin" not George Jones, but all the artists from that generation were great & as the song goes..Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes 😢 unfortunately very few of today's artists can even come close to being in their league
Charlie Pride just passed this weekend. He was one of the greats!! Thank God for his music. It will always be timeless. And, no one will ever be able to fill his shoes!! R.I.P. Charlie. You will be missed!
I saw Charlie several times when he visited (NZ) and I listen to his (LP) Live at Panther Hall regularly. I love u-tube but there is nothing like a well kept vynyl record to reproduce the best sound.
The twang in his voice is killer!!!! The stretch and slide and twang just amazing!!! Always loved his songs, as a kid riding with my dad in the 70's and 80's and he came on the radio, just loved his songs! My dad like me are car guys and I went with him on weekends to either see my grandparents then stopped at his buddy's house and music was on etc... the aftermarket 8 track and speakers, then cassette player and a nice amplifier to make it kick, hit harder and riding in his 1970 Dodge Charger R/T was killer back then...Then add the car burning rubber grabbing 2nd gear and tires chirping and broke loose again... Good Times and Memories dad was a drag racer,90 year sold today and still has his 70 Charger, I also bought a 68still crank George Jones! Dad never put us kids in danger, just nice open no traffic roads and a few red light drag races, and we usually won, only lost to his buddies more modified 67 Barracuda 440 duel 4bbl and 4.56 gear mid 9 second 1/4-mile car... Okay, sorry to bore some and lose some but Hot cars, Great Music goes hand in hand... It kept me sober no booze and no drugs throughout my life!!! He also had a more sedate brand new every 2 years 4wd Ramcharger as a daily driver but had some kick, was not totally stock either lol...
This is one hell of a wonderful old song. Makes you think of the old days. Old George Jones is such a classic. What a legend. He's one of the greatest artists from back in the days. Too bad we don't have any like we did back then.
Just because George Strait has the most #1 country hits of all time, does not mean he's King George. George Jones is King George and will always be the King of Country Music.
@@kevinchandler179 George Strait is a legend, but George Jones was and still is King George of country. He paved the way for country music superstars!! My comment is not a crazy ass comment at all!!
It's so funny, back in the day if we did'nt do things rite. We got are asses whipped, now the law's are made to protect to protect such people??? it's like I can't protect my own people my own land ??? It clearly say's NO TREASPASSING ???
This song hits harder when you realize that the red-headed stranger is the only one left. RIP Jerry Lee RIP Roy RIP Man in Black RIP Carl RIP George RIP Elvis RIP Charley RIP Waylon RIP Hank RIP Merle RIP Conway and many more. So sad we lost these legends.
A woman can cry. She holds her emotions on her sleeve. It's the way God made her. When a full grown man breaks down like this, it's raw and it's pure. And it hurts to watch. 😢
This song brings on a different type of hurt when you realize that most of these greats have already passed on. It brings on happiness to remember the sweet memories and relish in the music, though.
Everytime I listen to George Jones, always remember my grandpa, listening to these songs in his computer room and the smell of his cigarette. I always thought that you were gonna live forever. Miss you grandpa
Damn felt that wasn't cigarettes for me it was that smell only grandpas house had staying up late with him watching old westerns what I would do for that one more time or to see his evil grin he'd get when he did something he knew he shouldn't
A haunting reality. Today’s country musicians do not even come close. Glad i grew up with, Hank and Lefty; George and Willie; Meryl and Johnny. All the greats are from my generation. How fortunate for me.
Every single one of them are gone along with true wholesome country music, we can all relate to at ssome point in life.. it all told a story.. not just a bunch of truck songs..
1987. My Dad died at 57. A Southern Baptist Pastor. Beloved by so many. Wonderful father; excellent Pastor; beloved friend, but my Daddy. As I rode in the backseat of that big stretch limousine that sad day, George Jones' song stayed in my mind on loop. "WHO'S Gonna Fiil their Shoes?" Daddy was one of a kind. It took years to fill his pulpit. Nobody could measure up. Still can't, after 37 years. Thank you, George Jones, for this haunting, wonderful ode to heroes...❤
This video is PURE old school right from the start when the ole timer hollers for George then backs away from the door to show respect and not intimidate at someone's front door. Pure magic
Something about George Jones voice always gets me a little sentimental, not just that my dad played guitar and sang so many of his songs but his voice is so classic. Hard to fill those shoes
Yeah he had something special. You can play any George Jones song I never heard and it would be easy to tell that it's him. He was definitely something special .
I urge all of my fellow George fans to always share this music. I have an 11 year old grandson that sings these songs when hes out helping me work in my yard. This music should never ever Die
I miss hearing your voice Mr.Jones coming from my Grandpa’s radio, standing beside him as we drove home down the dirt road. I miss those days and I miss my Grandpa and Mr.Jones.What an era that was! I am 44 years old now and the past 40 years have flown by! It is a strange reality when you realize that you have lived over half your life already. Embrace each day and I’ll be ready for a big family reunion when the time comes.❤️🙏
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, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
Haven't heard this one in years. It brought a tear to my eye. God bless all that have come and gone and may they keep on picking and singing in Heaven. I don't think the Lord would mind.
Nobody has taken their place George. I’m glad that you and all of the other greats are not having to suffer the sounds and words of what is considered music today like your fans who are still here are doing. Thank you to all of you all who helped create the world around us with your life stories thru your music. I pray that one day, new ones will come along and take the world by storm. RIP
He was right! This song is so true! No country singer will ever compare or get this message! They just don't know what real country music is supposed to sound like anymore! This is real country music! Love you George and miss you big time!!!!
What a heart rending song, knowing almost all of the legends George names, and George himself, are gone. It will never be like that again, sadly. They were all one in a billion. I hear this and I also think of my dad, gone some 24 years now who loved country music and taught me to love it too, and my uncle, one of his best friends, gone since not long after George Jones left us, for whom the Possum was is greatest hero. RIP to them all.
Agree. Singer, songwriter, nutter, performer and all round legend. As one of his biggest fans (my Dad) often said, "George could bring a tear to a glass eye!" The world is that little bit darker without them both!
Country isn't my favorite genre. BUT some of the greatest singers and songs of all time are Country. This song actually brought tears to my eyes. Brought back many great childhood memories. The gas station, memorabilia and friendliness. Wonderful tribute, great artist and now Jerry. R.I.P. 😢 😭
One of Georges last and best songs. This video keeps Possum alive to me, and leaves me with a tear in my eye because of how true it is....... Who's gonna' fill their shoes......... nobody................. nobody could!
My Mom & Dad played all these wonderful Very Talented Artist, classic musicians.Love them very much & willl allways listen to these Great Musician's / Artist.just dont make them like this anymore..So Blessed to have been introduced to all the Gteat songs as i was growing up...
The older I get, the more sentimental this song becomes! And for me, it goes beyond all those wonderful old country legends. I think back to old friends of my parents that I grew up knowing, old family members who have gone on before us. Whose gonna fill their shoes ?!?!? This song makes me think of my dad so much. I don’t think “anyone” can fill any of their shoes! We have our memories to hold on to, and wonderful songs like this, that we can listen to, that still pulls at our heart strings !
I think the very same way. After the older folks in my family have passed on, “Who is going to fill their shoes?” I know the answer to the question, just don’t want to believe it.
I read that his wife said that the day he died he had not been talking at all for a while and they knew he’s time was almost up. He suddenly opened his eyes and smiled and and said “ Hi, I’ve been waiting for you. I’m George Jones..”. Then he closed his eyes and went to Heaven. I hope I get to meet him when I get there.
He Stopped Loving Her Today!! And This Who's Gonna Find Their Shoes!! Are Two Songs That Will Live On, And Still Be Played Long After We're Gone!! 🤔 Thanks Possum ❣️RIP 🙏😇 My Brother ❣️
I try to sing along whenever I hear this song, but I'm never able to because I'm too choked up. I grew up on this music, and sadly, remember when we lost most of them (pretty much all of them except for Patsy Cline and Hank Williams and those few that are still with us). When Buck Owens and Merle Haggard passed, I was pretty torn up because I've spent a large part of my life in and around Bakersfield. There are a few that have continued to carry the torch, but sadly, most can't be heard on the radio these days. Randy Travis is probably the most notable example. Most of what is heard on the radio these days is forgettable. I probably wouldn't even think about most of it if I never heard it again.
One of the greatest nostalgia songs ever! As I’m getting older, these are the songs I want to listen to, they remind my of my childhood. When all we had was one 13 inch tv connected to 3 channels by an old rusted antenna, and momma played our Hugh upright radio all day long. Well those things are gone now, lost mom this last March 2022. Live seems so different now, and I find myself less motivated by new things and super excited about the old ones! All you wonderful people who around my age can surely understand my feelings! God bless the world, as we so need it! These younger people will never understand what a awesome world we grew up in!
God bless you and so sorry for your loss. I am almost eighty one and god knows how I got here,, I think it hit me all at once, Yes god bless the world we really Do need it We did grow up in an awesome world. And all of my side of the family is gone two brothers one sister and my parents j miss them Time will help you but it doesn't take away the pain. Bless you❤
God I just love this song ..I cry every Time I hear it and he mentions Elvis. I have loved and still love Elvis to this day since I was 10 yrs old..No one could ever sing this tribute song To some of the greatest talent ever except George ..God bless him..

@@jeremywombacher3898 the day Willie passes I’m gonna have to take that day off work to mourn - heck will probably take off the entire week.
❤I love this song and it is so awesome too😊and the video is awesome 👍❤
A woman can cry. She holds her emotions on her sleeve. It's the way God made her. When a full grown man breaks down like this, it's raw and it's pure. And it hurts to watch. 😢
Apparently no one, Mr. Jones. Rest in peace friend.
Whitey Morgan is doing a good job of it

You made a very good comment!
I dunno , jamey johnson stepping up pretty good
@@rickshaw60 I agree on that. There just ain't enough singers that take the route of personal expression over the route of pop music anymore.
When you’re happy you enjoy the music. When you’re sad, you understand the lyrics.
George Jones
Now the music is terrible and the lyrics are so immature !
@@gordonduke7174 I am 12 and this is true. This music is good and can’t beat it
damned if that's not true
@@nght_pevet071 And I bet you can't even sing , let alone play an instrument !!
@@gordonduke7174 so?
This song brings on a different type of hurt when you realize that most of these greats have already passed on. It brings on happiness to remember the sweet memories and relish in the music, though.
I like you post and your picture
Anna are you single
@@davidskaggs6051 no i’m married
Hello Anna....
One of the greatest… amongst many others gone! My first concert was George Jones at 12yrs old! ❤️
Rest in peace my friend he was a great friend
Everytime I listen to George Jones, always remember my grandpa, listening to these songs in his computer room and the smell of his cigarette. I always thought that you were gonna live forever. Miss you grandpa
❤😭
Damn felt that wasn't cigarettes for me it was that smell only grandpas house had staying up late with him watching old westerns what I would do for that one more time or to see his evil grin he'd get when he did something he knew he shouldn't
Man lived his own way. Respect.
@@hunterc4561 Gun smoke and Wagon Train! I remember watching those
Same here thanks for the memories.
A haunting reality. Today’s country musicians do not even come close. Glad i grew up with, Hank and Lefty; George and Willie; Meryl and Johnny. All the greats are from my generation. How fortunate for me.
15 years
Yes no one will ever fill his shoes.And yes every song tears my heart out.He was and will always be a blessing
No k kn k in I h bag get by glnom k you know jibtn CChfjcyjfff
Every single one of them are gone along with true wholesome country music, we can all relate to at ssome point in life.. it all told a story.. not just a bunch of truck songs..
Look up Charley Crockett. I recommend hard times as a person favorite
@@hammerface1682 Yes I do like him.
Hello Donna how are you doing over there?
1987. My Dad died at 57. A Southern Baptist Pastor. Beloved by so many. Wonderful father; excellent Pastor; beloved friend, but my Daddy. As I rode in the backseat of that big stretch limousine that sad day, George Jones' song stayed in my mind on loop. "WHO'S Gonna Fiil their Shoes?" Daddy was one of a kind. It took years to fill his pulpit. Nobody could measure up. Still can't, after 37 years. Thank you, George Jones, for this haunting, wonderful ode to heroes...❤
This video is PURE old school right from the start when the ole timer hollers for George then backs away from the door to show respect and not intimidate at someone's front door. Pure magic
Hey Paul
@@caroline5275 how are you doing
George is really cool
I had the opportunity to meet the GOAT ...NOTHING will ever compare to that moment... thank you Mr. Jones....
Hi Jason
Did ya get the chance to shake his paw by chance just curious lmao
Something about George Jones voice always gets me a little sentimental, not just that my dad played guitar and sang so many of his songs but his voice is so classic. Hard to fill those shoes
Yep!
Yeah he had something special. You can play any George Jones song I never heard and it would be easy to tell that it's him. He was definitely something special .
I urge all of my fellow George fans to always share this music. I have an 11 year old grandson that sings these songs when hes out helping me work in my yard. This music should never ever Die
I miss hearing your voice Mr.Jones coming from my Grandpa’s radio, standing beside him as we drove home down the dirt road. I miss those days and I miss my Grandpa and Mr.Jones.What an era that was! I am 44 years old now and the past 40 years have flown by! It is a strange reality when you realize that you have lived over half your life already. Embrace each day and I’ll be ready for a big family reunion when the time comes.❤️🙏
Me2 god. Bless
@@paddyjanvier3036 Love and prayers to you. ♥️🙏
Amen
@RidgeRunner me too. Life is always changing. All love to you and your family.♥️

I love George Jones and no one can fill his shoes.❤
George Jones was my dads favorite musician
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, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
George Jones is one of the best rest easy George
Haven't heard this one in years. It brought a tear to my eye. God bless all that have come and gone and may they keep on picking and singing in Heaven. I don't think the Lord would mind.
Nobody has taken their place George. I’m glad that you and all of the other greats are not having to suffer the sounds and words of what is considered music today like your fans who are still here are doing. Thank you to all of you all who helped create the world around us with your life stories thru your music. I pray that one day, new ones will come along and take the world by storm. RIP
George is really cool
Hello
That would be really great if some could come and do what all the country legends did, so that future people could KNOW what REAL country music IS!
I can Watch this A Thousand Times, and each time I watch it, it brings Tears to My Eyes.
Hello beautiful
Same!! My grandpa and I would sing all the old George songs riding various in his old truck or working on stuff in the barn. Loved that!!!
He was right! This song is so true! No country singer will ever compare or get this message! They just don't know what real country music is supposed to sound like anymore! This is real country music! Love you George and miss you big time!!!!
So Do I
It’s sad, this generation is passing away. It will never be the same 😢
Willie is the last man standing, and he's performing with Snoop Dogg, a shame, The Killer died several months ago, Willie is it
@@billysikes1374 hank williams jr is alive fool.
No never
What a heart rending song, knowing almost all of the legends George names, and George himself, are gone. It will never be like that again, sadly. They were all one in a billion. I hear this and I also think of my dad, gone some 24 years now who loved country music and taught me to love it too, and my uncle, one of his best friends, gone since not long after George Jones left us, for whom the Possum was is greatest hero. RIP to them all.
The kind of song that hits you in the soul.
Outstanding, super and extraordinary. George Jones was a giant of country music.
Sadly, those shoes will never be filled. RIP all legends.
If those shoes ever do get filled, it will take a LONG time
I can't even listen to this song without my eyes filling with tears!
Hello Dawn how are you doing over there?
I agree. Because in this day and age no one's going to fill their shoes.
I'm listening & crying now, Dawn!!
I feel you.
👍
❤. Rest in Peace 🕊️🕊️ George Jones ❤❤
Hello, how are you doing today, I hope you’re having a wonderful day?
I don't think we will ever see anyone like George Jones.
May He RIP
Not in this lifetime
Amen he was a number one country singer
Agree. Singer, songwriter, nutter, performer and all round legend. As one of his biggest fans (my Dad) often said, "George could bring a tear to a glass eye!" The world is that little bit darker without them both!
There will never be any to fill his shoes!
Agreed
💗🇺🇸 still one of the best musicians and videos ever. Thanks y’all for putting it on here for us to enjoy.
Hello how are you doing?😊
There will never be another George Jones. My grandma loved his music.
Hey 👋
How are you doing ❤❤❤
George Jones has always been a legend! RIP Mr. Jones and God bless.
Country isn't my favorite genre. BUT some of the greatest singers and songs of all time are Country. This song actually brought tears to my eyes. Brought back many great childhood memories. The gas station, memorabilia and friendliness. Wonderful tribute, great artist and now Jerry. R.I.P. 😢 😭
Hello Cynthia how are you doing over there?

One of Georges last and best songs. This video keeps Possum alive to me, and leaves me with a tear in my eye because of how true it is....... Who's gonna' fill their shoes......... nobody................. nobody could!
25 year old here to tell you no one filled their shoes. No one had to they are still here playing just for me, right now!
George was one of a kind no one can take his place . No one can fill his shoes
Thank u mom and grandpa for playing music like this when i was young. This is country. Not what we have today.
Hello
the new stuff is country rap, pat it together and it makes crap. self explanatory.
Absolutely, the today's sounds like hit music from the 90's
It is NOT country to-day...but garbage !!
My Mom & Dad played all these wonderful Very Talented Artist, classic musicians.Love them very much & willl allways listen to these Great Musician's / Artist.just dont make them like this anymore..So Blessed to have been introduced to all the Gteat songs as i was growing up...
That is really awesome,thanks for sharing😊
Hello how are you doing?😊
The older I get, the more sentimental this song becomes! And for me, it goes beyond all those wonderful old country legends. I think back to old friends of my parents that I grew up knowing, old family members who have gone on before us. Whose gonna fill their shoes ?!?!? This song makes me think of my dad so much. I don’t think “anyone” can fill any of their shoes! We have our memories to hold on to, and wonderful songs like this, that we can listen to, that still pulls at our heart strings !
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
WELL SAID.
Yes , I feel the same way
I think the very same way. After the older folks in my family have passed on, “Who is going to fill their shoes?” I know the answer to the question, just don’t want to believe it.
Well said, we all need to write replies and comments when
appropriate.
Rest in paradise Mr. Jones. We miss you sir. 😪
🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hero’s get remembered but legends never die
I read that his wife said that the day he died he had not been talking at all for a while and they knew he’s time was almost up. He suddenly opened his eyes and smiled and and said “ Hi, I’ve been waiting for you. I’m George Jones..”. Then he closed his eyes and went to Heaven. I hope I get to meet him when I get there.
I'm 14 and this made me feel sad and made me realize how much country has changed . We need more songs that make you feel something
Listen to the Malcom Gladwell podcast on country music and you won't cry. But there might be something in your eyes by the end.
@@markaarongreen No this is for the Alan Jackson thanks 🙏
@@lesarose7931 listen to the podcast he talks about country music and how it's different than other music.
One of the best videos ever!!! Thanks to this lovely granddad !!!

Fill Their Shoes!! Lol💆💝
Hello Deborah! How are you doing?
22 year old here and this made me emotional. I feel like I was born in the wrong generation because these people are my idols.
You're very smart and got great taste in music.
Good luck to you. I am almost 70 and still listen to this music I grew up with and to Rick and roll. Lol
God should be the only idol in anyone's life.
@@patrickreedy1754 I'm not talking about an "Idol" in the since of religious worship. Just people I can relate to and have huge respect for.
@@patriot5.56 i understood exactly what you meant and didn't for one second think anything about religion because we're on the topic of music.
I cry every time I hear this song. If you appreciate real country music then you do too!
Me too!! Greetings from the Capital City and Native Carolinian!! Peace and Blessings 💯 🙏 🥺🥰🌺
Born and raised in WV listening to real county music, and proud of it.
Yep
No body cause music changes and it's just not the same. This was my Grandmas music 🎶 I miss her and the music. Great memories
I try to sing along whenever I hear this song, but I'm never able to because I'm too choked up. I grew up on this music, and sadly, remember when we lost most of them (pretty much all of them except for Patsy Cline and Hank Williams and those few that are still with us). When Buck Owens and Merle Haggard passed, I was pretty torn up because I've spent a large part of my life in and around Bakersfield.
There are a few that have continued to carry the torch, but sadly, most can't be heard on the radio these days. Randy Travis is probably the most notable example.
Most of what is heard on the radio these days is forgettable. I probably wouldn't even think about most of it if I never heard it again.
Love it ❤
One of the greatest nostalgia songs ever! As I’m getting older, these are the songs I want to listen to, they remind my of my childhood. When all we had was one 13 inch tv connected to 3 channels by an old rusted antenna, and momma played our Hugh upright radio all day long. Well those things are gone now, lost mom this last March 2022. Live seems so different now, and I find myself less motivated by new things and super excited about the old ones! All you wonderful people who around my age can surely understand my feelings! God bless the world, as we so need it! These younger people will never understand what a awesome world we grew up in!
Amen brother.
God bless you and so sorry for your loss. I am almost eighty one and god knows how I got here,, I think it hit me all at once, Yes god bless the world we really Do need it We did grow up in an awesome world. And all of my side of the family is gone two brothers one sister and my parents j miss them Time will help you but it doesn't take away the pain. Bless you❤
There will never be another George Jones. He lives on through his music and kindness. Rip 🙏
Who’s gonna fill his shoes? No one, that’s who. He is the one and only. The King of Country Music. I miss you, George Jones. ♥️
Oh hear. I'm listening ❤🎉
No one has even come close to filling their shoes !!!! He is a legend and so are the the ones he sang about .
Oh I`m not so shure of that : ruclips.net/video/fzUxxrbocl8/видео.html
God I just love this song ..I cry every
Time I hear it and he mentions Elvis.
I have loved and still love Elvis to this
day since I was 10 yrs old..No one
could ever sing this tribute song
To some of the greatest talent ever
except George ..God bless him..
We know how it's, I don't really know you are crying
Hank was my dad's favorite...Elvis was/is mine. Great group named here...all so good!

Wow I have heard his amazing Country music before but this is the first time that I have seen one of his music videos. I’m a lucky man today !
Hello, how are you doing
Best quote about George Jones was by Brenda Lee when she said, " George Jones doesn't sing country songs, George Jones is a country song."
end quote.
