i love hem hes such a singer my son was can sing just like hem i used to listen to hem when i was seventeen and was going to have my second son 40 years later my son sings and plays just like hem
this man is the love of my life i used to play this song when i was pg with my son who is now 40 years and can sing and play just like george w love you mary york
my dad used to play this for my mom.......but now my mom listens to it alone now since my dad is now gone rip......but its the memories that live on<3 but i love this tune i now play this for my wife<3
Right before my grandpa died of cancer, he made a cassette tape and hid it for my grandma to find after he died. The tape was of him talking about his life and telling stories about each of his kids. Then at the end of the tape he talked about my grandma and how he will allways love her, then he played this song...
well i seen him in concert and he is the shit and there is no better man then he is cause he no what to sing about and i will see him every time he is in concert if possible
The Possum hit #5 in Billboard, 4-24-82. The Oak Ridge Boys sang backup on it. Paul Overstreet wrote. What a great combination of talent, right, gang? God bless!
i was so surprised to hear this after so many years. i don't think i've heard this since my grandmother was alive. i love this so much. thanks for posting it.
Look gang, here's the thing about Ol' Possum Eyes -- he IS country music. Us old schoolers still remember how he used to like to do that nose candy, and carouse like we only wish we could. But he got himself clean, finally, he was still running his car off the Briley Parkway into the 1990's, but at long last manned up, not that he wasn't a man to begin with. For you young whippersnappers, read "I Lived to Tell it All". Thus ends the lesson. George Jones is the greatest.
Old Possum is great but not the greatest. He is third in line in the pecking order. 1) Hank Williams Jr. 2) Conway Twitty 3) George Jones. But he is my mama's favorite though. We debate over the greatest sometimes and it gets comical. All in fun though. You know the absolute greatest is Jesus Christ!! Enjoy the music friend.
I listen to Georges songs over and over and never get tired of hearing him sing. I've seen 3 of his concerts and love his voice. I've been listening to his records since 1958. Too bad he can't sing for another 50 years!!
I am only 29 years old, but with this kind of music; i should have been born in its era cause i absolutely love it. Old country is what my grandparents rased me on. Not to mention Hee Haw!!!
I am so glad that this song is now here. I have been trying to find this for weeks. My teenaged sweetheart and I just hooked up again after 38 years apart and he dedicated this song to me. It is so beautiful. I love George jones.
Sorry i could not help myself but i checked your ID and your only 19 so 38 years i dont think you were around then.But never the less great story!! George Jones is the best country music has to offer!
ACC's #43 song of '82. Backin' vocals by the Oak Ridge Boys. Written by Paul Overstreet. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week!
