George Jones - Kennedy Center Honors 2008 - Part One

[@bradwickham8135]

George was the absolute best country singer ever! Lord knows I'm gonna miss him. Rest in peace Mr. Jones, you brought such joy to so many and your music will last forever.

[@edwardevankigozi2764]

George in his old age.. he was aged gracefully.. and he was watching his own beautiful song. thank you each and everyone. RIP Mr Jones

[@Bobbiegirl1]

Praying for Randy Travis tonight and hoping he sees his Kennedy honors day. Out of my bones, On the other hand, Three Wooden Crosses, Diggin up bones, I thought that he walked on water and so many more. God, we pray for dear friend Randy.

It is sad when people leave us, but when the famous and talented such as George Jones leaves, there isn't that big hole there that with most seems to bother us. He left us a wealth of compositions to keep us happy and entertained for as long as we need them!

[@katharinekelly1974]

You can see how humble GJ is listening to his others sing his own music... he looked like he wanted to give a standing ovation to Alan Jackson! Alan did a great job, on this video and the funeral. It must have been very hard for him and all the performers! Thank you for sharing!!

[@RealTime88]

How about a hell yeah for the amazing tribute to Mr. Jones. This tribute was long overdue. There is at least one person every year I cheer for the most at the Kennedy Center. 2008 was George Jones, the greatest country singer who has ever lived. I hope Willie Nelson will be inducted next year if he has not already.

[@rubbersole79]

Holy Smokes......if George Jones is the King of Country music, then Alan Jackson is the Crown Prince. That was AWESOME!

[@alexanderblohme5044]

Meh, Alan Jackson is too pop for me...

[@ratso4443]

That’s what I was thinking too. He did a great job on that song!

Alan sang this at George's funeral and he sounded exactly like George. Well, maybe it was George!

[@truecountrymusicfan]

when I first met my wife she told me she was into new country , after listening to her favorite artist I had to tell her she been listing to older country . She did like new country but her favorites wernt considered new country.

[@50hellkat2]

Thank you so much for all of this stellar George Jones.

[@bmoliveras]

My daddy always said, "country music will get you in heaven", and so he is :)

[@lindabeaton8756]

All three did a good job, but Alan Jackson does the best, when it comes to sing Im A One Woman Man and He Stopped Loving Her Today and he will keep Country Music Alive, just like George Jones stated. I will listen to both George Jones and Alan Jackson until the day I die. Love from # 1 fan Linda Beaton of Calgary, Alberta Canada

[@Daleyy07]

Just to see the expression on George's face made my heart melt! Shed a few tears myself! beautiful moment! R.I.P always a favorite of mine!!!!

[@coltonniemann9811]

watching alan do he stopped loving her today in this video from 2008 and only five years later alan sings this at his funeral :'( hits ya right in the feels

[@KLUNKET]

I LOVE real Country music and Jones has ALWAYS been one of my biggest hero's. When I first met my wife, she was into rock music and if she listened to Country at all it was only the newer stars who were popular at the time (the late 90's)... she didnt even know who Jones was... I took her to see George the first year we were together and she kept saying she wouldnt enjoy it... Jones did He stopped loving Her- I looked over and my wife was BALLING. After, she stood and cheered louder than anyone

[@edwardevankigozi2764]

this will last a lifetime. RIP.. George.. we miss you already.

[@dorisbeeler7666]

Continue listening to their music either on cd or downloaded to my iphone I guess. I won't stop listening.

[@josiejones3071]

When Alan sings George's song,, He Stopped Loving Her Today,, I bet he was thinking about Tammy as his mind wondered n his mind was somewhere else during that song with that look on his face,, The songs about a man who loves a woman for years until his death,,he loved her till he died n they remained very close.. When George first heard the song in 1978 apparently he hated it,, probably to painful for him after his divorce from Tammy even though they were still performing together, n even then you could still see they loved each other very much, but then he ended up singing it n released it in 1980 ,, It was his first solo nunber 1 single in six years then,, and it has been named in several surveys as the greatest country song of all time :D R.I.P George xoxoxo

Theres only 2 people that have honored George Jones the right way in my opinion. First Merle Haggard, and then Alan Jackson.

Could you please put the two videos of the tribute into one? I'm so glad KZbin got rid of that ten minute limit.

[@jketcham]

@alanyoung2 He was in a car wreck a couple of years ago which required him to be in ICU at the hospital for several days, but he never had plastic surgery.

[@GeorgeJonesFan100]

You have part 2?

[@RealTime88]

If only I had President Obama on speed dial. We could make that happen tonight. I think Bush said the same thing. I saw his lips move too. Not a very bright man but nice enough to get George Jones into The Kennedy Center. This is the greatest honor for any person who is a member of the performing arts.

[@easyenetwork2023]

This would have been Bush’s final year in office. Obama had country singers there though. Forget which ones, think one was Willie.

@farranspointon Thanks, Captain Obvious. Everyone has a unique voice of their own, so of course nobody has the voice of George Jones just as nobody has the exact voice of you and I. So thanks for telling us what we already know!

[@jketcham]

@kindredhearts Sorry, you are incorrect. I can tell you for a fact that George Jones has never had plastic surgery, unsure where you came up with that gem but I can tell you 100% that it is completely false.

[@annalbin]

I hate to say this, but I have to wonder if George was thinking just how much better he sang those songs. And I love Randy Travis. But George had more accurate bass on his version. Well, George had the phenomenal range. Alan Jackson sang beautifully. But there’s just something missing…or is it just me? George was supposedly a humble man. So maybe it’s just me putting thoughts in George’s head. Or maybe Dee Doodle showed up with his own opinions.

[@RealTime88]

@bigjoetube Yeah I got that now.

[@alanyoung2]

@jketcham I think he was in a car wreck but dont quote me on it! lol

[@Hicktown125]

thumbs up for George Jones and George Bush for being better then Barack
