George Jones - Lonely Street

[cowboymachito]

Lonely Street by Carl Belew, Kenny Sowder, & W. S. Stevenson.

There are many versions of this song. Whether the George Jones version or Gene Vincen's version is better than the other, they are equally power performances. George's version is strictly country whilst Gene's version is more pop or bluezy.....so why the debate?....a great song, written by Carl Belew (who did a wicked version himself), recorded by two brilliant singers, among many, from two different fields of music.

Yes, Gene Vincent did the best version of this song. If you want to listen to George Jones's version while you're two-stepping in your leather vest that's fine. Nothing wrong with George Jones. But put headphones on and listen to Gene Vincent. When Gene says the line "watch an old love die" you feel like he's really on that lonely street...which he really was in real life...he delivers it like no other has and ever will again.

[crc778Hypnodoc]

I think George really made this song his own, Gene Vincent, but it needs to be sung like this

[SilverFoxNo1]

George Jones has a good Voice. But Nobody can mess up with Gene Vincent 's Voice and version of Lonely Street. Nobody sing beautifully like Gene! There are Worlds between!

@SilverFoxNo1 What planet did you come from!

[richardpolly1]

@SilverFoxNo1 Why don't you listen to Gene Vincent and show George some respect. It is all in how you were raised.

[Squirrlyburt]

@SilverFoxNo1 , I beg to differ but listen to Andy William's version of this song....it's phenominal.

[Clint8179]

@SilverFoxNo1 I'll settle this argument once and for all. The best version of this song that I've ever heard is by Rex Allen Jr.

[jbash1970]

@Clint8179 I have heard it I dont think so Jones' version is so far ahead of the others he is the greatest singer of all time at singing these types of songs.

[KruleHillBilly]

@SilverFoxNo1 george jones is better

Jones could sing the phonebook and tear at your heart strings nobody and Imean nobody any better especially today

[Ze18613]

Very very good. I didn't know he played this song.

But I have to say that Emmylou Harris' version is just a sublime piece of music.
