Wow! Saw this years ago (I'm 52) and it still is one of the greatest songs ever. Nobody can do better than this performance. Aaron Neville got close, but he didn't have Tammy Wynette introduce him...;)
If that man knew how much I loved him... hes my hero... I got to see him once this year... hope to see him in renfro valley...if I can find someone to go with me:(
awesome, thats cause the possum is a legend. it'll be a sad day for "good music" lovers when he is gone. but eventually we'll all get to rejoice with him and the other legends when its our time.
I love this song. Lots of people think this is about a woman who left her husband for another man. If you listen to the lyrics, it sounds like it's about his wife who died in child birth. She's gone, took the baby, all the clothes are still there....
my favorite of favorites of Jones' ... His voice is pure velvet .perfect...and amaising. he breaths live into a country song like one other. thanks for this post.
Sure he had his personal demons, but without them his music wouldn't have the depth it has. There is nothing like 60's and 70's county... absolutely love it.
When you think of the Legends of Country Music....you need only here this song sung by that man, to know why George Jones is truly one of THE Legends of Country Music!! 5 stars!! :) - Jonathon
the real "KING GEORGE"!!!!!
