@welshhillbillyful Thanks. Man, that's good stuff! If he did a whole album with Virginia, I want that.

@samridgebag George recorded just the one single with Virginia.The song was written by her husband,who had lost both his legs,and eyesight in a road accident.If you like this recording be sure to check out George's later version with Melba Montgomory,it is even better.As far as i can tell Virginia recorded just one other solo single.

@welshhillbillyful - Just wondering how you knew so much about Virgina ! :)

[welshhillbillyful]

@JodyeD84 Much of my information comes from"George Jones.The Classic Mercury Years" 2c.d.set,with excellent notes by Colin Escott.Also by searching the internet.There is a George Jones forum on the net,which awhile back was looking for information on Virginia.None was forthcoming.If you have biographical information etc.,i will pass it on.

@welshhillbillyful Virgina was my mother in law. All of the info you have is correct, after recording these 2 singles, she and her husband, Bernand Spurlock, later divorced and Virgina remarried and had a son in 1973 (yes the music runs in the family, her son is extremely talented as well ) She passed away in 2008 of Cancer and I think that she would be so happy to see that her music lives on :)!!!!!

@JodyeD84 Thanks for that information.I will post it on The George Jones Forum.Great song.Why did she record so little?She was obviously a very talented lady.

@welshhillbillyful I honestly couldn't tell you exactly why, that it is something I never asked her. Maybe because of her divorce & lost contact with George. I can tell you that about 1 or 2 yrs before she died, Bernard told us that George was trying to get in touch with Virgina but was unable to.
