Most people don’t appreciate that that song took months to produce. Bill Sherill and the engineers literally sweated over every note in the accompaniment. Without them it would have been a good song, but nowhere near the great recording that it is.

I’ll agree that “He Stopped Loving Her Today” is one helluva country music song, but my personal George Jones favorite is “The Grand Tour,” in which he leads his listeners through a house in which he and his wife (who has left him) once lived.
