Yes Absolutely!! LOVE You Always George, Possum, Old No Show! RIP Brother!! Btw; I have a CD by your daughter Georgette and I want more!!! I must say though, If anyone in country music even comes close to sounding like George Jones it would be Randy Travis. I love him also and so sad about what happened to him. Hopefully, he can one day make a comeback God willing!

Gone as not forgotten singing in heaven

As that date comes back around, I sit here listening to the greatest country voice of all time. Your comment hits home. For me I did the same- the day Chris LeDoux and George Jones died...

Still is.

And he carried that crown to the grave. They won't make another crown because there is and always will only be 1 george jones! I can name half a dozen # 2's but #1 was a knock out, out of the park homerun well before even the 1980s rolled in.

Nothing to say

R.I.P George love your music .💔💔💔

With all due respect.... Elvis Presley was the best singer to ever to pick up a microphone. Elvis could have been King just on his looks alone without singing a note. But the voice of Elvis Presley is truly the voice of a King. It's probably the single most recognized voice ever. And when it comes to singing and recording I don't think anybody was awarded more than Elvis. He's sold more records than anybody. And I don't think Elvis ever even wrote a single song. Which in a way I believe is a testimon to just how good of a singer he was. So with that being said I do love me some george jones & so I get it how so many people can single him out to be the best of all time I do get that & I can respect that. But I must say this... The king of country is Hank Williams

@@partysugar519 Ralph Emery once stated that 9 out every 10 professional performer he’s interviewed over the years have named George Jones as their favorite singer. A bunch of people have done a reasonable job of imitating Elvis and Hank but not one human being has ever come close to mimicking what George does. I could go on forever but unless you’ve tried to sing yourself, and attempted to do what they do, then you’ll probably never understand.

@@beemerscoot8851 Actually if you look up george jones cover songs you will find several unknowns covering george jones and sounding pretty close to just like him. Furthermore, I listened to Ralph Emery interview George jones and george jones himself said his biggest influence was indeed Hank Williams and Roy Acuff. But it was Hank Williams with the multiple unique up n down pitches n yodeling stuff he did with his voice that could not be mimicked. Even by his own son who became a great country singer in his own right. There's even a Hank Williams the 3rd that tries to sing his granddaddy's songs the same way but trust me even his grandson does not come close to sounding at all like the one and only Hank Williams. I wonder who has sold more records between Jones and Williams.... My money's on Williams. Even though hank died young and had a much shorter career than Jones, hanks probably still sold way more records and I betcha anything Hank Williams has had a far bigger impact on country music as far as being influenzial to future artist. I mean how can you call jones the king when basically he learned from Williams??? I'm pretty sure hank Williams has more hit songs than Jones? and Williams' career was way less than half as long as george jones. Did I mention not even Williams own next of kin can come close to sounding like the great one and only "Father" / "King" of country music??? I've even heard females that cover george jones pretty good. You'll never hear a female or a male for that matter come even half way close to sounding anything like hank williams. But you will find exactly that of george jones covers. My grandpa looks and sounds just exactly like george jones.... Hell even hank Williams very own son hank Jr doesn't look or sound anything like his own Father Hank Sr. So where we at now with this??? Maybe we should make a list of each of their biggest hit songs and see who had the better and most? Again my money's on hank but you gotta remember george had twice as long a career since Hank Williams life was tragically cut short at age 29. I think hank may of even still had more hit songs and even way more influence over country music as a whole than Jones could have possibly have had. I love george jones believe me I do. And as big and great and unique as george jones was. He wouldn't be the headliner if he and Williams were on tour together. No way jones would close the show after Williams think about it....

​@@partysugar519 Well … I don’t know if you realize this but 99.99% of the people in this world are just as happy listening to a no-talent bum as they are a world-class singer. That’s simply because they don’t know the difference. Because you seem to believe that recording sales are an indication of a person’s talent, then I have to assume you fit that category. Shoot….Garth Brooks has made more money singing than anybody and on the talent scale he’s a mid-rank amateur at best. If you really want a challenge then I’m posting a link below to a Jones recording. I only ask that you listen to the ending, specifically the last 3 words. If you can find a recording of anyone that can come close to what George does here, send me your address and I’ll gladly send you a $100 dollar bill. I’ll tell you that my motives are not to prove you wrong, it’s just that I would gladly give anyone $100 that could point me to someone with that kind of talent. For your enjoyment, count all the notes he puts into the last 3 syllables and notice how each one is so “perfectly” on pitch. Good Luck! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eqeqjZZivMvZl40.html
