He said he looked at her and wiped off her tears and said "If you help me, I'll help you. Together there's nothing we can't do."

George didn’t want to record this song. He said no one would listen because it was so damn maudlin. But he was talked into it and it became one of his biggest hits. He was known as no-show Jones because he had a real problem with drugs and alcohol. He was one of a kind and that little warble in his voice is unique to him. He and Tammy Wynette were the royal couple of country music back in the day. Their duets are beautiful.

My Dad's favorite singer was George Jones. He always told me (repeatedly) that all the songs George put out after he and Tammy Wynette divorced in (I think) 1973 were about his feeling for Tammy and his regrets for how he treated her. She divorced him over his alcoholism (and some rumors say other substances). She went on with life, but he spent the rest of his singing about her and his love for her.

This song, the greatest country song of all time, is so perfect in its simplicity. The songwriters weaved a story of heartbreak and real love. George Jones was the perfect voice for this song. This song will make you cry (man or woman) every time if you have any soul, any feelings at all.

Good Ole Classic Tear Jerker Country! One of the most classic and most heard old country songs ever! Old country is very simple and almost sounds backwards but all you need is a simple story and a grest voice that resonates with everyone, He Stop Loving Her Today, even the title resonates with everyone and once you fnd out he died that just seals the deal!

He and former wife the late Tammy Wynette were the country music power couple back in the 60’s and 70’s both had solo careers and were also a duet,they were known as The President and First Lady.

You got it on the first time. Excellent. So many people miss the point. The song is epic and add George Jones… this is a true classic. You said he looks like he has seen some stuff…. That is an understatement. His life was a Country Western song incarnate.

George Jones is COUNTRY MUSIC! Back in the day if someone died they would put a black wreath on the house door or business

Firehouses still put purple and black bunting up when a fireman/woman/person dies. At least in Chicago. (Bunting being long, wide ribbons of material, draped across the front of a building/doorways in loose swags as decorative symbols of mourning.)

George Jones was a legend. So many hits “The Race Is On, If Drinking Don’t kill me, White Lighting”. And there is plenty more. Such a talented singer.

This is the song that absolutely makes me think of my dad. Can't hear it without crying. Glad you found it!

7:30 If you haven't already, give "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes?" a shot. I recognize that thumbnail anywhere. It's the bottom right one.
