From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 – April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his most well known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer.[1][2] Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum."
Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven and was given a guitar at the age of nine. He married his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion, in 1950, and was divorced in 1951. He served in the United States Marine Corps until his discharge in 1953. He married Shirley Ann Corley in 1954. In 1959, Jones released a cover version of "White Lightning" by J. P. Richardson, which launched his career as a singer. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1968; he married fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette a year later. Many years of alcoholism caused his health to deteriorate severely and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones."[3] After his divorce from Wynette in 1975, Jones married his fourth wife, Nancy Sepulvado, in 1983 and became mostly sober. Jones died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure. During his career, Jones had more than 150 hits, both as a solo artist and in duets with other artists.

My two favorites, George Jones and George Strait. Don’t get any better.
Greatest of them all.
Ex-wife, Tammy Wynette was the best of the females
Favorite; Apt Number 9
George had that pure country voice. One of the greats.
Can't argue with that but will rank Patsy Cline right up there with her.
She Still Thinks I Care: Very good audio on that video. Great country song sung as well as it can be sung.
I’m really happy you watched and liked it.
Never did ‘get’ Patsy Cline. To me she sounds too much like a ‘pop’ singer to be C&W.
Happy NY :)
That’s what I mean; she just didn’t souñd country enough for c&w people to be so crazy about her.. and there were much better pop singers around.
