Rapper FIRST time REACTION to George Jones - "He Stopped Loving Her Today" OH MY...

[@adambowman8543]

He stopped loving her today, is the greatest country song ever

[@billywilmoth5062]

My son heard this for the first time when he was 7. I didn’t even know he was listening. He said dad, did the man die. I said yea. That’s when he stopped loving her. He said that’s the saddest song I ever heard snd a tear rolled down his cheek.

[@thundernels]

I wonder if it’s the phrase about placing the wreath that throws people off. If it was a more current traditions, they would pick up on what was going on. But it’s sad. It’s about like Abbott & Costello’s Who’s On First. Reactors usually just react to the exasperation of Costello or they have heard the routine before.

[@teenasmith9619]

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.

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

I’m in my early 40s and I was raised on this music. The music of Ms. Lynn and Mr. Twitty was something special I had with my dad. He was born in WV but moves to Michigan with his parents for his dad to work in the auto plants and to come to think of it, my dad followed in his dad’s footsteps. We lost my dad in 91 due to cancer. It was a sudden diagnosis and quick passing.

[@kelleewolfe2834]

I'm 54, I watch your reactions daily!

[@shrews12001]

My grandparents were like that. Years after she died my grandfather told me a story. He was helping my grandma stand up off the bed and she was a fairly large woman and quite weak. They tried several times and she couldn't get on her feet and started to cry, frustration and embarrassment and just scared of her situation. 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." They've both been gone a long time now but i will never forget that story

[@tomgreaney1]

[@valeriewonders7029]

What a beautiful story. Touched my heart and reminds me of the grandma who had to go through that. She was a strong lady. My Grandpa died at 70 of cancer and my grandma lived to 99. Miss them all along with my parents and my husband too. The memories is what keeps me smiling.

One of the greatest country songs ever. My father passed away in 1998 and he loved this song. I think of him every time I hear it.

[@SickGirlRocks]

8:48 I don’t know you’ll ever see this but at George Jones’s memorial Vince Gill sang his song, go rest high on that mountain, and it was probably one of the most emotional tributes that I’ve ever seen. Patty Loveless had to carry him vocally through that because he broke down crying. And that actually says a lot because Vince Gill wrote that song when his brother died and as a tribute to Keith Whitley.

[@TexasTigressDesigns]

Ya that tore me apart! Hard to watch without crying even today!

[@iamnotgoldenhar8645]

I literally just said the same thing and I got chills as I was typing it.

I never saw him in concert but he passed me on the highway, blew his horn and waved. We saw that car tag - Possum.

[@laurenblainebamartistmgt]

I feel that way, too. Best Country song ever written - and it wasn't written by George. It was written by Nashville songwriting greats, Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman. They didn't take it seriously either, until George did it. Mailbox money forever.

[@Code9]

As a songwriter and a country music fan for nearly 60 years I can see no reason whatsoever that this should be considered as the best country song ever written. Besides, exactly what criteria would one be using to make that judgement? Is it a great song? Yup. Best ever? Nah.

[@kannathraymaker]

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.

[@russellw7785]

Who's Gonna Fill their Shoes, Tennessee Whiskey, The Race is On, White Lightning, Window up Above, Green Grass of Home, If Drinking don't Kill Me, Bartender Blues, etc etc... Man had a thousand songs. Going back to the 50's, not to mention duets with his wife Tammy wynette. A legend

[@bite-sizedshorts9635]

When you listen to the original recording of "White Lightning," the deep voice you hear is the Big Bopper. They both recorded for Mercury Records. If you listen to "Running Bear" by Johnny Preston, also on Mercury, the Indian chanting is by the Big Bopper, and the war whoops at the end are by George Jones.

[@pleutron]

thank you for actually paying attention to the lyrics. one of the very few of many reactions that actually paid attention to the lyrics. I always feel that the lyrics pretty plainly spell it out with 2 lines "he said I'll love you til I die" and "he stopped loving her today" This song eerily describes how my own life will end.

I've heard several different reactions to this song and you are one of the few that actually nailed it on the first take. And in case no one else has commented on this before, George said "they placed a WREATH upon his door", very common among country folks when someone dies. And yes, George Jones is THE classic country singer whom many--myself included--consider the greatest country singer of all time. Hope you read up on him. He indeed had a tough life, many of his wounds being self-inflicted, but came out alright in the end.
