He wasn't called the Rolls Royce of country music for nothing. Absolutely the greatest. RIP Possum.

[@KLUNKET]

Man, He puts EVERYTHING he has into every single breath. One note passed through his lips is worth more than all of the songs on Country radio today combined-PERIOD

All the songs on country radio today sounds the same, so do the singers, I don't understand what has happened.

I know today's people only sing for money they don't sing from the heart and from the depths of their souls for only one bless from the good lord and deliver the feelings that are put there by a higher being than man God bless all that sing for him because they sing for feeling and sing for free Amen and Amen

George Jones's vocal ability never ceases to amaze me. People don't realize that he achieved that sound ( PERFECTLY in tune) ... LIVE- this was taped LIVE!! Not pre-recorded and then dubbed . All he has on his voice is standard reverb. Ol' George doesn't need any computerized pitch perfection tools, or auto-tune to make him sound good. Jones INVENTED auto-tune with his voice!!! He could hit every key in the vocal spectrum in one breath, and do it all in tune! This is the REAL King George!!

[@vernaburns1629]

EXACTLY!!!!! TOTALLY AGREE!

[@francesodle6069]

I love George s voice him singing a song. I try and need to hear George jones sing most days. Love his songs

[@vernaburns1629]

Totally Agree!!!!!!

[@matthewhanhauser4376]

This is one of my favorite performances by George ....I find myself scanning back and listening to lines over and over and over. He's too damn good.

[@jeffclark2675]

for me this man's voice is one of the top three in the history of the planet. he only opened his mouth halfway to at least TRY to make it fair for the other singers. as a student of vocalists i would really appreciate it if someone who REALLY KNOWS could just remove all of the emotion out of the question and definitively say if he is lip-synching here or not. I have heard the man sing live perfectly (even better than the studio version) many times so it wouldn't take ANYTHING away from his unparalleled brilliance for me to hear that its lip-synched...it is just VERY interesting to me to know the truth. I know people are saying the mic is on a boom above him. and that could be. but even with microphone technology of today, the best mics are placed right in front of the singer's mouth to pick up subtle nuances....but the thing that persuades me most to think its lip-synced is that he is absolutely and provably not strumming the strings of the guitar. just watch it again...never touches the strings once with his strumming hand.

[@AlvisaMinidoruv]

When he sings "three nickels and a dime" in the first chorus, I'm pretty sure I could listen to just that on repeat for an entire year and it would still blow my mind. The phrasing on "dime" is honestly one of the best things I've ever heard.

[@CraigMansfield]

Those eyes have seen a lot of pain. That's why he sings like that. There are a few truly great country and western singers, and I love them all. But George has the most soul.

[@jjmaher86]

Those eyes are blind drunk. BLIND drunk. It's UNFATHOMABLE that he's able to do this in the shape he was in. This was recorded LIVE. He was literally superhuman.

[@carolinawestern3875]

In the late 70's my dad was a longhaul, independent, trucker, and met George briefly outside of a small truckstop at Cabazon CA. I was looking for dad, and came out of an exit door, by the cafe, and stumbled into them both. As they shook hands. I was maybe 11 or 12yrs old, and dumb struck! I remember his voice being surprisingly deeper than I imagined.

[@hookstomper7322]

Yes, George had quite a deep speaking voice, like his lowest notes in this masterpiece. He was the greatest country singer who ever drew breath.

[@blueovaltrucker]

It's like ole George takes the words right out of your heart and sings them back to you. Amazing.

[@sharonherd2690]

His voice is at its best in this song. I love how he bends the notes .

The range in his voice was really impossible to duplicate. He could hit a high note then right down to real low one. He was the real deal!! Country music today is just a shell of it's former glory.

That "nothing in my pocket but 3 nickels and a dime" is one of the most beautiful things that I've ever heard. And I've heard a lot.

[@bluesslider76]

[@richardtaylor1485]

I agree 100%… his phrasing takes me to a different place😊

[@mclff6926]

He barely opens his mouth ,,, and yet pearls come out. Amazing!

[@StrokedGT]

Pretty sure he's lipsyncing these live ones

[@pistroliakrazies]

+Daniel Salazar I disagree. George put his own spin on every song he sang. If you watch him live in concert.. that man didn't have to open his mouth for magic to be released! Pure natural talent :)

[@johnhyde7297]

+Daniel Salazar When you are REALLY good it doesn't look like you are trying....that was the way George sang. He didn't have to force it....

[@StrokedGT]

+John Hyde yeah but he doesnt even have a mic. im not saying he wasnt amazing, he just probably lip synced this performance

[@shannonburns3785]

Daniel Salazar, the mic was a Uri tube hanging boom mic that could pick up a fart added to a hurricane. I thought I caught a shadow of it once there. Lip sync, not even. Jones didn’t need to lip sync anything. He is not like the sock suckers Trashville is trying to pass off as singers, from rascally flats tires to blowing a fish? WTF kind of crack pipe are they on in those recording exec’s studios these days? GIGO is Trashville studios. Gabage in, garbage out.

[@thomaskitchens7]

His hair might have turned silver But that voice is pure gold

[@HazeFace100]

How this guys voice can give me (a grown man) goose bumps is crazy.

[@CraigMansfield]

He had the most beautiful voice. Really gifted. From reading his autobiography, I'm getting that he knew he'd make money from music, but he didn't really want to be doing it. I think that's why he drank so much..... The amount of travelling he had to do, and the monotony. He came up with fantastic business ideas and seemed to be successful in anything that he chose to pursue. Very interesting character. I wish he'd lived a happier life.

[@thestewlaw]

I'm no psychologist but a lot of that deep self-destructive ambivalence goes back to his child hood when his father forced him to sing on the street for money and then stole all the proceeds to finance his own binges. It traumatized him. THANK GOD FOR NANCY, AN ANGEL SENT FROM HEAVEN

[@HerbWalker]

[@peterkolovos3079]

I was so fortunate to see George Jones, Conway Twitty and Verne Gosdin in the 4th row of the Chicago Theater before they all passed on. I cried through the entire show. These men were truly the greats of Country music. Country today is so lame I don't listen to it anymore. When I want Country these are the ones I listen to. The Possum, the High Priest, and the Voice! God rest their soul's.

[@dickhead9214]

Sinatra had an excellent voice, one of the best. What Sinatra didn’t have was the phrasing and enunciation. George could turn words into verbal molasses with his otherworldly phrasing. Listen to how every word that holds the emotional weight of the song is stretched to nearly 5 syllables just to make you feel something. No doubt one of the greatest...perhaps the greatest in Country Music.

[@pablojuliandavis6768]

Fantastic. George’s voice at its peak. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard anybody say this, but it has always struck me that his singing is very “high lonesome.” You could absolutely imagine that voice working great with Bill Monroe, or The Country Gentlemen.

Some people just do not like any kind of Country music. that is their loss but you probably don't like speed metal either. I started out listening to Clssical and Gospel and then heard real country and it never left me and George Jones can not be compared with in my book.I remember Hank Williams and Patsy Cline but when I heard George I got hooked. I also really like Randy Travis. I think we who love country also miss Johnny Cash a lot too. I just can't seem to get into the new country!

I'm glad you mentioned the instruments. They are awesome and added so much to the George Jones sound yet I seldom hear anyone even mention how great they are. The steel guitar playing knocks my socks off.

[@shannonburns3785]

mander1295, the pedal steel was probably Tom Brumley as this was on HeeHaw at the time Tom Terrific was on the show pedalling along. Tom was one of the most under appreciated, yet truely one of the best if not the very best to sit down behind one. Buck Owens said he was the best he ever heard. Brumley’s timing, phrasing, diction, approach and delivery to an instrument he had mastered was second to none.
