Subject: Country legend George Jones dies at 81.
Written By: ninny on 04/26/13 at 9:52 am
George Jones, whose supple Texas voice conveyed heartbreak so profound that he became perhaps the most imitated singer in country music, died Friday at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville after being hospitalized with high fever and irregular blood pressure. He was 81.
Hank Williams may have set country music's mythology and Johnny Cash its attitude, but Jones gave the genre its ultimate voice. With recordings that spanned 50 years, including Number One singles White Lightning, She Thinks I Still Care and He Stopped Loving Her Today, Jones influenced generations of country singers and was considered by many to be the greatest of them all.
Both my parents grew up on Country music and thou it may not be what I like George was a great artist and I did enjoy hearing some of his songs like Golden Ring R.I.P George :\'(

Wow this is bad news. :\'(
George was one of the few old-school guys who was left. Back in the day when he was starting out you could sing Country OR Western music.

He Stopped Loving Her Today is in my country top ten.
Country has definitely lost one of their legends.

I don't know if he was married or to who, but He Stopped Loving Her Today. RIP, Mr. Jones.
Your Pal,

So sad. R.I.P Mr. Jones.
He was quite the personality. Seriously, who else would get a DUI on a riding lawn mower because his wife took the car keys so he couldn't drive. ;D

Authorities did point out that the trail George left was very evenly trimmed! He would've laughed at that over a few beers.

I know who he is, and I have heard of his song "He Stopped Loving Her Today". He sure was a true legend, as stated in at least one post above this one.
