George Jones hatred “He Stopped Loving her today” and had difficulty recording it during take after take. When it was finished and he was leaving the recording studio, he commented, “Nobody will buy that morbid SOB.
the song took a year to record because the spoken word part of that song he couldn’t do since he was too drunk all the time.
he said he could sing drunk, just not talk drunk.
I think you meant "hated". That said, I recall that Sinatra hated "My way" (and for a good reason), didn't anticipate its popularity and only reluctantly performed it live.
