  • Thank you so much for posting George's videos for us all to enjoy!!

  • love the old country stars like george jones..that old music is a whole lot better than the new stuff more feeling in it

  • I love it. Now that I live in Nashville, I have been to see George Jones at the Opry, but I wish I could have seem him in his prime.

  • what an amazing singer, performing a song that is so true. Yes i know the 'modern' country (thats a laugh to call them that) singers sell loads of music in all the modern forms but i wonder when this song was first sung did listeners realise that there would never be another generation like them?

  • I AM 65 AND WAS RAISED ON COUNTRY. BUT THIS SONG WAS SO MUCH MORE, A TRIBUTE TO THE GREATS.

  • One thing that bothers me the most is that the Ol' Possum may be in that song soon. Now that will be a loss. He is one of the greatest and is quickly being forgotten.

  • This song was written by Max Barnes. I graduated from the 8th grade with him. We were the two shortest kids in that class. He shot up after that. Unfortunately, I didn't. We graduated from Mason School in Omaha, Ne.

  • This song makes me sad just thinking about all the greats in all types of music

  • Great video. Lucky I got to see the Possum a few years back. I hope to see him again soon. One of the greatest ever. When he goes, I will be crushed. I miss Waylon, Twitty, SRV, and Cash. Glad we still have Jones, Willie, Haggard, Don Williams, B.B. King, and Kristofferson. Today's music sucks. Thank God for the other guys like Gary P Nunn, Jerry Jeff Walker, Chris Knight, Micky Braun, Randy Rogers, etc... Nashville sucks!!! Sorry for the rant. Great video!

  • lÔl_Í_fEEl_sø_lònely_tÖDâY

  • EVEN LATER IN HIS CAREER, HE KEEPS COMING UP WITH ATOMIC BOMB BLAST' HITS LIKE THIS. CHURNING HIS PATHOS-STRIKEN VOICE TO GREATER RADIANCE

  • NO, NO, NO MAN WILL EVER FILL HIS MIGHTY SHOES

  • The Possum is the last outlaw standing.

  • Love George Jones never be anyone to fill his shoes Love it Katrina

  • There will be another! Thanks, Mr. Jones

  • I seen George Jones perfom this sone this year (2011). He did this as a tribute to all the greats that have left this world. Its a beautiful song. I cry when I hear this song.... Thank you George!

  • when they took the O out of country they simply killed it.thanks, we have the real country to fall back on

  • This song is so true, only one even close to filling those shoes is George Straight.

  • I'm still wondering who's gonna fill their shoes..... 

  • i have been a george jones fan for over 30 years this guy is awesome luv ya possum

  • Love it!!!!! Thank you so much for posting! I grew up with the possom & even tho I am in my young 20's I love this kind of music better than any other!! The music today has gone to pot!

  • This is a great song by a great singer. I love George and so many of the others we have lost.........and NOBODY can or will their shoes. There is nothing like the old country. Thank you for sharing that with us.

  • No one can ever fill in for George. I`m only 32, but i got this music in my milk since day one...

  • The first record & first 8 track I bought were George's . George and Tammy were the first singers I went to see in concert,The were and still are the best!!!!! God bless them both.

  • This is it....Not many more of these ledgends left. 

  • there are some really good country music artists now days but none of them can match what george jones, merle haggard, young george strait, tracy lawerence, vince gill, randy traivs and all the others. this is truley the golden years of country music. thats what i think anyway

  • this was not in 08 idiot

  • Have loved George since I was a little girl (born 1961) To George: you have helped me through the worst life had to offer. You kept me company throu the pain so I never felt alone and your songs gave me permission to feel what I was feeling. You sing this song and my mind and heart are filled with this one thought: "NO ONE WILL EVER FILL YOUR YOUR SHOES", I AGREE WITH TANYA TUCKER. YOU WILL ALWAYS ME THE KING OF COUNTRY MUSIC IN MY EYES. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR AWESOME VOICE. GOD BLESS YOU

  • No, there will never be another George Jones and no one will ever be able to fill his shoes!!

  • LIKE HANK JR. SAID. IF YOU DON'T LIKE GEORGE JONES YOU CAN KISS OUR ASS !

  • If you don't like this you ain't country

  • this song is so great because all the people he talked about in the song will never be replaced. they were the great and still are the greatest singers

  • Has anybody ever heard why George wears shades all the time since 1994?

  • @CountryTonite2007 it's usually following a cateracts operation, we struggle with all the light and it must be much worse onstage.

  • I LOVE GEORGE JONES AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE COUNTRY MUSIC, HE'S CLASSIC

  • Just awesome, George is the man. Thanks for all the memories.

  • this is one of my dads favorite songs and it still makes me cry.

  • nobody can ty this was great

  • no one can ever fill george jones shoes or johnny cash or wille and waylon and all the other ones.. country music will never be the same after all of them is gone.. only if everyone keeps these great songs playing... raise our kids on real country music.. and that is these guys right here//

  • Me too George. I'm afraid there are too many standing in the wings willing or able to fill the void left by the ones you mentioned and so many others of that same era. I miss country music.

  • NO ONE CAN MOAN A SONG LIKE THE KING OF COUNTRY. NOT EVEN HANK ! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER POSSUM. LOVE YOU GEORGE !

  • love it

  • This is one of my fav songs by George Jones because he is really singing about the music he loves!

  • love this song and how true it is

    thanks for the post x

  • two dam good

  • There isn't enough words to describe George Jones. The sad thing for me for sure and many others from the "good days" is we have watched country deteriorate in to sheer nothingness. It is incredibly sad the new singers, male and female. What is there that George, Hank, Waylon, Keith, Lefty, Merle, and others can't do with their voice?

  • The voice with every known note and a way to move from one to the other.

  • love george jones songs

  • Hank III,Holly Williams, Dale Watson, Wayne Hancock, Kyle Turley, Bob Wayne, and Luckey Tubb can fill thier shoes

  • @zakkdbd Holly Williams does have that kind of talent. I will have to hear more from some of the others. Don't much care for Hank III. I do like Shooter Jennings( try to find the duet he did with Holly Williams of the "Conversation" on CMT.

  • @zakkdbd bull shit

  • yal realize that after they're gone, this music is gonna b lost! =[ its so sad to think that this music will disapear sooner or later! George jones is my favorite old country singer nd no1 will ever b as great as him ever again...the country singers of today dnt understand how these singers make great music. they make a few hits every now nd then, but George, hank, merle, nd all of them will always have the greatest hits.....imma miss them wen they go ='[

  • the real deal

  • Just wanted to say I have lost alot of loved ones and this is my feelings, they all have passed with in 2 yrs too many to count at a young age! LOVE YA POSSIUM!

  • one of the all-time greats!!!!

  • the song says it all.

  • Love this song and love George Jones--He is the best

  • I love this song this porbaly one of my most favorite george jones song

  • This is just brilliant & so true.

    Thanks for his one.

  • GOD BLESS GEORGE JONES

  • Those shoe's will never be filled again!

  • a great tribute to the greats that can only be sung by one of the greats himself, george jones. Love that real country music, may it live on forever.

  • Ol Possum! I sure wish there were more like him! We love ya George

  • this is one of the gratest

  • Country music will Never be the same ever!!!!

  • You know what sucks most of the country singers concerts are in america but up here in canada whe just have pop singers it sucks

  • @FBIHank Pop music SUCKS period. I am sick of it. I want to hear real music being played by the real musicians who made it.

  • Im going to see him on Friday, I cant wait, Front Row

  • How was it?

  • We love you George.

  • one of the greatest male singers in modern history -any genre

  • Comment removed

  • One of my favorite george Jones songs!

  • Lord, Who's going to fill their shoes? Not many real country artist anymore. I pray that pure country will always live in the true country fans.

  • Shoes that can't be filled. for sure, but

    Great News! Time Life is bringing out

    a 2 cd. set of George Jones 'lost songs'!

    Due out this month, see ya bye

  • This song still gives me goosebumps. Out of all the country singers he mentioned, I'd take George over all of them...any day. Yes, even Hank. To me, no one personifies Country Music like George Jones. Love ya possum!

  • amen

  • @dannyd1572 Amen

  • No I'm sure George never expected their shoes to be "filled" by the likes of Taylor Swift. That child has been given every award known and can't do a thing. Sad. I don't even trun on my radio anymore. Country music is being taken away from us. I think its on purpose because it was the last bastion of independence.

  • It goes to show its not all in the voice, you got to be able to entertain your fans, Taylor Swift may not have a great singing voice but she does please the fans.

  • No one will fill their shoes today, George, because a tight ass (male or female) in jeans and a pretty face matters more than depth and quality of music.

  • Absolutely wonderful and fantastic!!!

    Thank you !!

    I'm 30 now and I seen em live 5 years ago-what a treat. I swear me and my girlfriend were the youngest people in the auditorium and we loved it. :)

  • No one can ever fill those shoes. Today's country isn't what I grew up listening to. Jamie Johnson is the only new artist I can listen to now. Hopefully there are more like him out there

  • No one can fill George, The Hag, and all the other's shoes. New Country Doesn't even compare to This!

  • @GeorgeJonesFan100 1 million thumbs up...ive been preachin this same message for years...glad you understand

  • @GeorgeJonesFan100 Thats right George is the man,I love the possume!!

  • @GeorgeJonesFan100 I was fortunate to see George Jones perform live at the Ryman Auditorium 2 years ago during CMA Fest, and this song was my favorite part of the show. He was obviously struggling with some of the songs and about half-way through this one, Jamey Johnson came onstage and sang with him. It was pure magic. No artist will ever fill The Possum's shoes, but artists like Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser will carry the torch of real country music for many, many years!

  • Thanks for sharing this video. Beautiful. Please tell me what you think of my video response

    Cheers from Belgium

  • no one sings a ballad like george jones

  • The time of country is over. Cash and Hank Williams Sr. are gone....

  • george was a great singer ..but was an awful man he beat tammy becuase he was a drunk and tammy tried to be a loving wife but dam how much hate can you take ? look at tina turner bless both ladies for getting free of that mess

  • if tammy was living she would fill everybodys shoes

  • I agree with what twittygirl49 just posted.todays country musc is so fake..

  • there will never be anyone to fill the shoes of all the REAL country music singers like George, Conway, Hank, and so many more. This crap they are playing on today's country stations is just that--CRAP. George made the comment in the media that they should rename todays country music. He is 100% right. It ain't country. someone asked Ray Price what he thought of today's country music. He said he wished they would stop screaming so he could understand them.

  • Marty Stuart said it all once. "who is going to fill their shoes? It's not doable. Singers like this are a one-of-a-kind and will never be duplicated or copied" Amen Any idea what year this is? Really liked the rhythym guitar players technique, downstroke only. Is that Dwayne?

  • I grew up listening to George & even afetr hearing him sing for over 50 years I can't think of many country music artist that are true country. I thank God that I was blessed to get to enjoy his music for so long. George will be missed when he is gone, to quote him, "There never be another"

  • love this song and GEORGE AND TAMMY keep them coming thank you for posting .....

  • Agreat video and song.

  • Great video. It's a shame that there are two misspellings in the title. I'll change them when I convert from FLV to WMA.

  • This is such a great tribute by George. He'll be sorely missed too once he moves on. Thanks for uploading.

  • A true legend and survivor. Great song and tribute to other legends.

  • They wont be filling my shoes i walk barefooted along the beach.

  • amazing voice !!! no one will ever fill those shoes !!!

  • Well George -- Those shoes are still empty. Not many Today can Sing Like you, Some of us were blessed to grow up listening to George !!! No one can Deliver a Ballad like Him -- Not even close !!!!

  • King George Jones rocks

  • amen

  • Mohinukut ali sucka

  • What a voice ,what a song ,who is going to fill his shoes,just like Muhammad Ali and Elvis ,George Jones is something special and I dont care if I drive my kids crazy by listening to the Possum and watching him perform so thanks to all you people who post his songs and videos.Please keep posting especially the old ones.

  • What's with the hair George? Looks like a plastic wig!

  • looks somewhat like a helmut...god bless him..

  • first song to ever make me cry,love those that filled em'

  • Who is ever going to fill the "Possum's" shoes is a huge question.

  • How true, Who will fill these great footprints that have been made before us. So few even have half the outlook these had, much less the voice and the courage to stand and sing for what they believe. A select few still follow the old traditions, and make songs I can consider a modern classic. They are a quickly dying breed, who will fill their shoes?

  • I get goosebumps when george sings

  • Thanks Bob,I never tire of listening to Possum George and to be able to watch him perform this special song is akin to being in Country heaven.

    Great video, Jules

  • Great video bob, thanks for posting, check my videos out and let me know what you think,i would apreciate it, i will be uploading a lot more soon

    larry

  • Amen George

  • Love it

  • who ever listen to music ,it gives them peace of mind and time to stop and smell the roses. THANK YOU THE ONE PERSON THAT LISTEN AND STOPS AND SMELL THE ROSES. DELORIS

  • When George sings you don't have to ask who it is.

  • HI coutry folks.
