That song hits me really hard. I’ve always loved it.

That’s one of my favorites by Mr. Jones.

I remember one evening several years ago, my husband and I were at a VFW, and they had a karaoke set-up going. I got up and asked to sing, “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” and the guy running the karaoke said that it wasn’t right for me to sing that song, because I’m a woman. I told him the song is from the perspective of a friend of the deceased and could be sung by either a man or a woman. Strange that he maybe didn’t understand the third-person lyric.

I sang it anyway, and afterward, a couple of the elderly ladies there told me how much it meant to them, how much they enjoyed hearing it. I thought they might be widows.

I had been on a George Jones kick last week, even before Friday.

Listening right now, in fact.

“There’ll never be another...”

Amazing voice.

No one can fill his shoes.

Dug out George and Georgette’s “You and Me and Time”, which always gets to me. Particularly ironic given how it ended up between them.

Love Georgette, particularly when she’s doing mom’s library.

I attended an Alan Jackson concert last night in Birmingham and he started off with “He Stopped Loving Her Today” - there wasn’t a dry eye in the amphitheater....I had tears flowing.....such a class and loving act for a true legend. I don’t think I’ve quit shedding tears since Friday morning when it was announced the great George Jones had gone to heaven.

He Stopped Loving Her Today reached a feat that will never be exceeded. It was the #1 country music song of the year for two years in a row.

After he stopped loving her today, he had looked forward to this:
