I have loved this man since I was alittle girl. His voice is starting to give out,,,,,but then he is too. No singer will ever be as great to me as this man! I love you George!!!!!!
God, this version really makes me cry, his voice is raspy but he still put so much feeling into it...there's no one like George Jones! Glad he's lived long enough to see how much his fans love him.
Every man has his demons, and George Jones was no different. As a entertainer he always wow's the crowd. But at the end of the day he is just a man with problems like everyone else.Sometimes people drink to forget or numb themselves, to what is haunting them.And maybe even regrets that hurt. I am not making excuses for him, I just understand him and the pain he feels.
I want to say I'm sorry for the five dislikes...I'm a social worker and it's rec time at the rehab center..they go nuts big time when they get to go online! ...meds are evil...
@captainmyi I'll be honest...I've heard the version in 1980, and I own the version of "...And Ones I Missed" (after 2005). I prefer the latter because his aged voice gives age to the song, and makes it really feel like a pain the character has carried for so many years.
This song, and the Possum's vocals, stands out among all other country songs. I can't seem to sing it without using George's phrasing, because you just can't do it any better. You're the man George Jones.
I LOVE GEORGE I remember when I was a boy and mommy and daddy were young like George , and the music was on top of the fridge in AM--SALL WE HAD I was born in '''53' and my George is still my most faverite --and the Beatles Jim nJones
@twins8956. So was your daddy obviously. George Jones carries the scars of a lifetime of alcoholism. The women you claim he "beat" knew this going in,as Oprah says,"if he hits you and you stick around,well then you probably need help yourself".Matter of fact,that Tammy ??what's her name? who told all of this man's secrets died from drug addiction,,,is she better than he? And why are you on here to begin with if you feel this way??
@sevinstorey damn right! AND GEORGE JONES GOT OVER HIS ADDICTION! SHE DIED FROM HERS!! SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STAY OFF HIS MUSIC IF U DONT LIKE HIM!!! DUMBASS!
I love, in older artists like George Jones (and Johnny Cash before he died), when you can really hear the age in their voices, especially in songs like this one when it's so emotional and talking of heartbreak, pain, years going by, regrets, etc. Even w/his voice breaking at a couple of points, he still sounds fantastic and the age in his voice just lends so much to the song. Johnny Cash really gets me with his cover of "Hurt" - especially when I think of how the song applied to his life.
I need your help remembering a song back in 1986. I know some lyrics: " I turned around and you were gone" Anyone pleas help me with some suggestions. Can't remember who sings it. Thanks
what are you talking about jiveturkeyjunk? RIP my ass! he just celebrated his 80th Birthday! God Bless you, George.. Keep on singing and taking us to that place only your music can take us ♥
Jesus..I love this version more than the rest...I can imagine my daddy singing this to my mom, from up above...rusty voice and all, but pure passion...they were divorced..yet she sat at his death bed without sleep for 3 days straight..no one like my mama.....God Bless her And God Bless George Jones....
Being an older southern man, I love to read the comments of you lovely ladies of the south. Wish our awesome God had given me singing or instrumental musical abilities, so I could get some of your sweet comments, too.
It's bad to get old but what hurts me more is to see the Legends get old. But George is still out there doing his music and that's great. Allergies and age are taking there toll on his voice, but he ain't giving up. Great job George!!!
i was raised on his music. being from wva, george and tammy was the best honky tonk bars and smoke felled taverns , that's where u were on a saturaday nite.Ain't notin better than havin a beer n 1 hand a cig in the other and singing n her ear I'll love u tell the day I die! You no george did a hole lot a crazy shit. But hell we all did back then!
i took my dad to see him nd he will always be the great man of his time! nd this song reminds me of my dad nd mom bc my mom passed 2 years ago nd he loved her until the end nd still does to this day!
He isn't milking his reputation. He didn't come out there for himself...he came out there for his fans. I'd say of anyone, HE knows he doesn't sound like he used to and I'd say it bugs him far more than any fan of his, because we enjoy his music no matter what
As for hearing aids, wtf? Males are known for loosing their hearing at age 65, plus when you have load music all your life. It's a giving. Get real now.
People who are bitching about his age and singing abilities, I would love to see now a singers sound like him from what he's been through and his age. He's know to have the most outstanding, and beautiful singing voices of all time. Every country singer looks up to him. Real country Music Fans would know exactly who is he, and what he's done. You're beautiful George. In Every way possible way!
I don't care at all if his voice cracks, he don't have to apologize at all for anything, some ppl need to show some respect for Jones he sang more life in his songs for the past 56 years than all the ungreatful so called fans who say he needs to retire or he sounds terrible. show him some respect or watch the younger videos.

This isn't some imitator of other singers . This is an ORIGINAL singer. This is REAL country music. This is a LEGEND. This is the one and only, the original, the legendary GEORGE JONES!
please take it easy on the old guy! first, he's old and when you get old you tend to lose things that served you well in your youth. second, George has been a functional alcoholic most of his life which doesn't help your signing or overall general health. i'm amazed he's still standing! third, note the hearing aids in his ears. he's half-deaf so forgive him if he drifts off vocally a few times. he's probably singing mostly from memory now.
@Dwright2020 I do respect George Jones, I have been a fan for more than 40 years during which period I have seen him live on 3 occasions (twice in the US even although I love in Scotland); all I am saying is that he simply cannot sing any more and rather than milking his reputation, he should do the honourable thing and retire. I am sure he doesn't need the money. I saw him 3 or 4 years ago in Myrtle Beach and his "performance" was a travesty then but it is so much worse now.
George will always be one of the best. There were many great C/W singers when I grew up in the 50's. Hank Snow, Marty, Faron, Lefty, Hank Thompson and Williams of course. Who indeed are going to fill their shoes? They killed Country Music, without a shot being fired, as Jackson said in his song. Give the old ones a hand! Town Hall Party in Compton, Ca.with Merl Travis, Les (carrot top Anderson) , Joe Maphis, Merl Travis etc. Then Cliffie Stone with his "Home Town Jamboreen in El Montie.
this is country am concerned about the direction of country pop today go back 2 the roots, i remember in a little fishing village uncles grabbing the guitar & playing this when they would all come back from ther catch ! memories thxs george
if it weren't for the great musicians of the past such as Merle, George, Hank Sr., Tammy Wynette the people that we think are 'great' wouldn't be here. Merle, George, Hank sr. , Tammy Wynette were some of the true legends of Country and the pioneers of the Grand Ole Opry
i played this at my daddy's funeral it decribe's my parent's completely i miss them everyday of my life will be so glad when the good lord take's me home to them
@landamo Well, bud, do like I do...I think of how much money she was burning through, how many lies she told me (and keeps telling me), and how she's still telling everyone the "poor me" stories when she's the one who threw me out...do that, and you'll learn to hate the bitch.
Oh, and it helps that I only think about her once a month when I write that alimony check...
I know that you can't make someone love you, and if you want to see my story then check out the videos I have posted about Laura: Love of my Life. It's a 4pt series.
The day George Jones goes to heaven to play on gods opry stage the music world will stand silent and saddened. The world will never know another possum.
I hope Nashville is smart enough to play as much Jones as possible so that a young generation is fortunate enough to have known his precious gift of music.
@airborneassasin i live close to nashville and just about everyday of the week you can go through the radio stations and find some george jones to listen to.
greatest love song...and god love him with his iklness he gave it all. love you george jones. greatest country singer and song....had to live it to sing it, right george?
We saw George in concert a couple of nights ago. At 79 yrs old, he rocked the stage to a sold-out house & it was truly amazing to see. He sang all of his big hits & THEN SOME. My 2nd favorite GJ song is "Picture of Me Without You" & I was afaid he wouldn't sing it but he did. Of course the crowd went WILD when he sang, "He said I'll love you til I die". If you get an opportunity to see him in concert, you won't be disappointed. He's a REAL LIVING LEGEND and a great performer!
I hear this song and I'm 16 yrs old taking my dad's old truck out on a date...Nothing but a scratchy AM radio and an 8 track player. That work truck smell of cigarettes, coffee, and diesel.... Pop had a few tapes and George Jones was a favorite.... Now I'm as old as my dad was then...I like the old stuff too........ my dad- hardest working guy I've ever known

just think your watchin one of the best real country singers standing on that stage and he has earnd his right to, unlike todays crapie singers that is not country and stands on it when they have no right to at all,,,,,,, In my opinion George Jones is the best of em all
George Jones has so many hits and will always be a country music icon.
Age doesn't matter as the same when the good Lord takes him home he will
continue to be a Legend in the Country Music World...George Jones is Country!!
I am watching a George Jones Special right now "Soundstage" from 2009 and
he can still hit the notes and is lookin' pretty good for an 80 year old man. So much he is respected in this country world so many stars showed up to celebrate 50 years in Country. You Go George!!
No one can do it like George, he sings with the least effort, the music just flows out of him. He makes me feel the pain on losing his love. I think he look good too, but then, I'm in my sixties.
I just went to the 2010 George Jones Fan Club Party in Brentwood Tennessee this past Thursday, June 10th. I got an autograph and Nancy used my camera to take the picture. He was so gracious. What a man and what a life. I know he has aged but I will continue to go see him whenever I can and will always treasure getting to meet him. From the Hoosier State, God Bless you George and Nancy!
LOVE ME SOME GEORGE JONES. VERY SAD TO SEE HIS VOICE BEGIN TO FADE. SURE GOING TO MISS HIS SINGING. AT LEAST I HAVE SEEN HIM LIVE AND WILL CHERISH THAT CONCERT FOR A LIFETIME.
WOW!! listen to the emotion he puts in the song, his voice may be going, but his voice is very mellow now and it sounds even better than the late 80's.
George Jones came to know the Lord after his car accident. He was very depressed and called Vestal Goodman. They sang Amazing Grace together. He seems to have a good heart............Gwen Weaver
This Man Is The Greatest Vocalist In Country Music History, Noone Will Argue That Fact. His Voice Is Not As Good As It Once Was But Not Bad For Aman In His Late 70's.
@gomerpyle2009 he should retired makes no sense. Do you mean he should have retired? Do you mean he is retired? Do you mean has retired? Are you drinking?
Got a little confused on the lyrics there in the beginning lol. But George is a country legend for sure. You can't say youre a country music fan if you dont like Jones.
He's getting up there in age. Everyone does, everyone will. I still enjoy George even if his face is fading, along with his voice. We got to reamber, he's 78. Most country singers stop in there fifties. I havn't seen Dolly for awhile live. Reba is getting up there in age also, she's 56. But's she still got it!
I am watching a special of George Jones 50 Years in the Country World.
For an 80 yr old man he's lookin' pretty good. Dolly was just on live last week with Kenny Rogers celebrating 25 yrs of Dollywood she sings there quite often with Kenny. As for Reba she has had recent hits & 56 ain't nothing now days remember 50's the new 40 Reba is looking good mc'ing this show. She recently sang w/B&D Cowgirls Don't Cry & Have You Seen Him and Stay To Close to the sidewalk with Kelly Clarkson.
I love you and your music. You are a big part of my life. Thank you for everything you've done.

George will always be one of the best. There were many great C/W singers when I grew up in the 50's. Hank Snow, Marty, Faron, Lefty, Hank Thompson and Williams of course. Who indeed are going to fill their shoes? They killed Country Music, without a shot being fired, as Jackson said in his song. Give the old ones a hand! Town Hall Party in Compton, Ca.with Merl Travis, Les (carrot top Anderson) , Joe Maphis, Merl Travis etc. Then Cliffie Stone with his "Home Town Jamboreen in El Montie.

if it weren't for the great musicians of the past such as Merle, George, Hank Sr., Tammy Wynette the people that we think are 'great' wouldn't be here. Merle, George, Hank sr. , Tammy Wynette were some of the true legends of Country and the pioneers of the Grand Ole Opry

I hate the fact that this song makes me think of my ex wife. I hope I stop loving her before it comes to that.

@landamo Well, bud, do like I do...I think of how much money she was burning through, how many lies she told me (and keeps telling me), and how she's still telling everyone the "poor me" stories when she's the one who threw me out...do that, and you'll learn to hate the bitch.
Oh, and it helps that I only think about her once a month when I write that alimony check...

The day George Jones goes to heaven to play on gods opry stage the music world will stand silent and saddened. The world will never know another possum.
I hope Nashville is smart enough to play as much Jones as possible so that a young generation is fortunate enough to have known his precious gift of music.

We saw George in concert a couple of nights ago. At 79 yrs old, he rocked the stage to a sold-out house & it was truly amazing to see. He sang all of his big hits & THEN SOME. My 2nd favorite GJ song is "Picture of Me Without You" & I was afaid he wouldn't sing it but he did. Of course the crowd went WILD when he sang, "He said I'll love you til I die". If you get an opportunity to see him in concert, you won't be disappointed. He's a REAL LIVING LEGEND and a great performer!

George Jones has so many hits and will always be a country music icon.
Age doesn't matter as the same when the good Lord takes him home he will
continue to be a Legend in the Country Music World...George Jones is Country!!
I am watching a George Jones Special right now "Soundstage" from 2009 and
he can still hit the notes and is lookin' pretty good for an 80 year old man. So much he is respected in this country world so many stars showed up to celebrate 50 years in Country. You Go George!!

I just went to the 2010 George Jones Fan Club Party in Brentwood Tennessee this past Thursday, June 10th. I got an autograph and Nancy used my camera to take the picture. He was so gracious. What a man and what a life. I know he has aged but I will continue to go see him whenever I can and will always treasure getting to meet him. From the Hoosier State, God Bless you George and Nancy!

He's getting up there in age. Everyone does, everyone will. I still enjoy George even if his face is fading, along with his voice. We got to reamber, he's 78. Most country singers stop in there fifties. I havn't seen Dolly for awhile live. Reba is getting up there in age also, she's 56. But's she still got it!

I am watching a special of George Jones 50 Years in the Country World.
For an 80 yr old man he's lookin' pretty good. Dolly was just on live last week with Kenny Rogers celebrating 25 yrs of Dollywood she sings there quite often with Kenny. As for Reba she has had recent hits & 56 ain't nothing now days remember 50's the new 40 Reba is looking good mc'ing this show. She recently sang w/B&D Cowgirls Don't Cry & Have You Seen Him and Stay To Close to the sidewalk with Kelly Clarkson.
