Watch how Patty keeps watching him to know if he's going to be able to carry his part. How she takes the lead when he falters. The emotion there is palpable.

[@MN_Cozy]

Much respect to Patty for showing such care to her good friend

[@runtmc2jc]

Absolutely ... love her taking control as needed ... great song, raw emotion .... Music at its best...

[@_griffin82_46]

She was the perfect duet partner. So much respect for her

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

She’s an absolute professional and she was trying to help her good friend.😔🐝❤️

We all come back to this video once in awhile just to clean those tear ducts out.

[@beatleschick1000]

EXACTLY!! It is absolutely beautiful, melodic, wonderful song. Just listening to it normally, but this… You’re right. If you need to cry, watch this. My ex-husband (a musician) always said he wanted me to remember to play this at his funeral and I never got it because I wasn’t a big country music fan, even though I did like Vince Gill. Luckily, we’re still very close and best friends and he WILL get this song played at his funeral, which I pray is many years in the future.

[@beegee1960]

It was touching when Garth Brooks stood and all the other artists in the audience stood to support him.As well as being a great singer, Vince is one of the finest musicians in the business. That guitar segment was outstanding.

[@armywife1641]

I love the way these older country artists support each other ❤️

[@sherielee649]

This video is so moving that I can hardly watch it.

[@robertarnold7187]

Many of the musicians of the old Grand Ole Opry stars were huge fans of the youngster Vince Gill. Most of them are gone now. RIP.

[@sunnycalico6643]

Patty could sing the phone book. One of the most angelic voices in all of music.

[@monkeyflower954]

Thank you. Much Respect 🙏. 💃🏻 it was his friend George Jones, that gave him the recognizable nickname Sweet Pea. A true gentle soul ✨️ ❤️

[@daleb1279]

The instrumental in the middle of the song wasn't planned, it was so Vince could pull himself back together to sing again. He sort of recentered himself by playing the guitar for a bit. Patty is great. She is also a first cousin to greats Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle.

[@Tuesdays_Gone]

I thought the same thing.

[@critterwatcher8009]

Also props to the rest of the musicians who were able to flawlessly improvise that unplanned guitar solo.

[@jefftappan3091]

Vince and George had been friends for years and it him especially hard, as you can see.

[@genataylor460]

I had noticed that during that instrumental, his body was wracked by sobs he was trying to suppress. The fact he was able to carry it through, with the help of Ms Loveless, shows what a remarkable performer they both are.

[@josephvanover1987]

Little FYI Patty's real name is Lovelace. She changed it bc when she got started her career there was a popular porn star Linda Lovelace and she didn't want people to assume they was related. Btw they wasn't. True story.

[@markoehler2752]

I have always loved Patty Loveless, her voice is incredible. But the first time I ever saw this video, I gained a whole new respect for that lady. What you just watched is one of the most emotional things I’ve ever witnessed. She & Vince are close friends, she calls him her brother. They harmonize like nobody else can, and at that Funeral, Vince was so torn up he couldn’t get through it, and what did Patty do? She stepped up and made it incredible! My opinion of course, but I think all the young little chicks that think they can sing these days need to bow down to the likes of Patty Loveless. If you really want to hear what she can do vocally, check out her LIVE version of “You’ll never leave Harlan alive”!

[@solitarybee3714]

You are so very right in regard to Patty Loveless, what a trouper she is. This video is one of the most touching I've ever seen.

[@sylviafarese8837]

Totally agree

[@paulgl5178]

Totally agree about Loveless. We all know Gill can normally deliver a great voice-but, I had a whole new respect for Patty after this. Beautiful.

[@larrywright6214]

She sang on "When I Call Your Name", his first big hit.

[@patrickw123]

Patty is amazing

[@beatleschick1000]

I had heard of Patty loveless, but don’t think I heard her songs before this. An amazing voice to be sure, her compassion, and the way she watched Vince so very closely during this & comforted him without overwhelming him… an A-number one person and great singer!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@carminebokesch1279]

Patty watching Vince and covering him was sublime. I can't stop bawling

[@DevilDog78]

You can't listen/watch this version without tissues. The tears always well up when I watch it. When the camera catches Garth standing, with Mrs. Jones weeping, it shows how heartfelt it really is.

[@TizAtx]

That’s when I absolutely lose it 😭

[@general-cromwell6639]

That's right my friend...I have watched this many many times, because it is one of those that you will come to, over and over again. Welcome to a good cry. Nothing shameful about it. Honest emotion. All the best to you and yours. Cheers.

[@kenlemons7045]

Great emotional reaction to a beautiful rendition of love and respect.

[@maxinefreeman8858]

Patty is an eastern Kentucky girl. He started getting so emotional. She had to carry him through. George Jones had went through a lot. This song fits him.

[@carollittle1059]

Two of the best

[@kens97sto171]

Vince was very close to George Jones. So he's singing a song that he wrote for his brother who passed away at a very close friend's funeral. Not surprising his emotions got the better of him. Patty carried the song and kicked in right where he needed her to. That guitar instrumental in the middle was absolutely amazing too.

[@nikkiLee-hf6gx]

Actually, its written for Keith Whitley.

[@kens97sto171]

@@nikkiLee-hf6gx Pretty sure it's written for both. I know I've heard Vince Gill actually say he wrote it for his brother.. So I'm going to take Vince Gill's word for it.

[@vickimurphy5183]

It was written for both. He wrote the first verse after Keith Whitley who was like a brother to him passed but couldn’t or didn’t finish the song till his actual brother passed which is when he wrote the second verse and finished the song.

[@pamelapayne3158]

George Jones was a mentor to Vince Gill.

[@maxinewallace6213]

Vince actually wrote that song for his brother who passed away.

[@maryannanderson2213]

Vince Gill and George Jones were good friends. I am astonished that he even made it through this song at all, considering he was singing it at his good friend's funeral. Of course, he would have been mourning the loss of a country music legend and a GREAT singer even if he had not been a personal friend but add to that the fact that this legend was his good friend, and he just absolutely could not hold it together. Props to Patty Loveless for being so supportive of him. I love this song. I had it played at my husband's funeral when he died almost 13 years ago.

[@seanscanlon9067]

The original version was written in tribute to another of Vince's heroes, Keith Whitley: I know your life On earth was troubled And only you could know the pain You weren't afraid to face the devil You were no stranger to the rain Oh, how we cried the day you left us We gathered 'round your grave to grieve Wish I could see the angels faces When they hear your sweet voice sing I'm No Stranger To the Rain is a Keith Whitley song and he has issues with alcohol, but the first verse is also relevant to Vince's older step-brother Bob Coen, who was involved in a fatal car accident when he was 22 years old that led to him being in a coma for three months when Vince was only 11 years of age at the time. When he woke up from the coma, his brain was damaged beyond medical repair and it led to him exiling himself from family and friends until his eventual death in 1993, after which Vince wrote this song in tribute to him.

Hi. You can tell these two have sang together a long time. She watches Vince n fills in with her powerful voice to give him time to pull himself together to get thru the song. They harmonize so well, but are great as individual singers. Seeing Garth n his family stand, it's like they were giving their strength to Vince. Such an emotional day. Peace to you and yours

I cry every time I see this version. Vince Gill’s voice is like an instrument itself, and Patty Loveless is at her best.

[@joejoebrian1014]

That was pure class. And your response was so genuine and honest. IMO George Jones was the greatest country singer of all time. Thank you for sharing this. It destroyed me as I cried way more than a 34 year old man should. Yet at the same time it filled me with joy. That's the power of a song with such meaning. God Bless You

Harri, thank you much for reacting to this version of his song. He and George Jones were very close. When he wrote the song, initially it was for his brother, but also for Keith Whitley, who is another country artist who died from drinking too much. It's a song that many people use at funerals.

[@deborahlewis656]

Grl...I agree; this was so gut wrenching( but that's what makes it so heartbreaking but healing in the same way)😪😘

It was originally for Keith Whitley and THEN his brother died, the song "It won't be the same this year" is about his brother, that one's a tough one too.

[@seecha8970]

The more I watch this performance, the more I begin to think that the guitar solo was done in the moment and not a part of the original performance. I think it was done to buy him time to collect himself. And can I also add that Patty Loveless was an absolute pillar in this performance. When Vince couldn't go on, she stepped up and held the performance.

[@BelleDede01]

The guitar solo wasn't supposed to happen but they let Vince do it, so that he could regain his composure. What an incredible tribute to an icon George Jones. Glad to see all the artists stand up to support him and of course for Patty to help him out like she did. Cry everytime I see this video. Wow! BTW, Vince started writing the first verse for his friend Keith Whitley died but finished it after his brother died. So it has triple meaning now.

[@dlmullins9054]

Pure love and emotion.

[@bebic7903]

Haven't read all the comments, so not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but my understanding is that Vince played a 'spontaneous' guitar solo so that he could compose himself. This is one of my favorite videos as it shows the compassion and love that these artists have for one another. And Harri, your standing ovation melted my heart! Thank you!
