what a voice ,what a talented singer, such a sad sad ending to his life, what a loss for us all. i sing his songs i love the story his song tell. R Leath
No he didn't. Donald Eugene Lytle (Donny Young) worked for George Jones. Paycheck learned his style from Jones. George's first hit was "Why Baby Why" in 1955. Actually, Jones got his note bending style from Lefty Frizzell
balladeer, this is untrue. several music industry professionals would testify that paycheck influenced jones. read the liner notes of "soul and the edge". frizzell did not bend notes, his is an entirely different style.
Some Paycheck partisans speculate that he influenced Jones' vocal style. It's true both emerged from the Hank Williams school, sharing a similar passion for achingly intense phrasing. While some cross-pollination could have occurred, that theory ignores a couple facts. Before he met Paycheck, seeds of Jones' later style appeared on early Starday 45s such as "Just One More" and the Thumper Jones rockabilly singles. Also, Paycheck's magnificently flinty, explosive roar of a voice reflects the influence of two other ex-bosses: Faron and Price.
@@balladeer45 i may respectfully disagree, I read an article somewhere that Jones publicly stated that his honed singing style emerged only after Paycheck joined his band as his frontman and bassist. It is never more evident than in a few songs like Love Bug and Walk Thru This World. Jones always had a very nasal approach but the real edge came out when he was paired with Paycheck. Paycheck's style never ever waned one degree in his whole career, i give him huge kudos for that, while many would change to fit the times, mainly Twitty and Haggard and a few others. The short time JP spent with Ray and Faron were not nearly as influential on the boss as his time with Possum, Darrell McCall probably holds the honor of influencing Faron more than anyone, and Johnny Bush had quite the effect on Ray. John's years with Aubrey Mayhew at "Little Darlin" (1966-68) gave us some of the most raw, knife edged hard Country ever released, while after his 1971 "discovery" by Billy Sherrill gave us a completely new unseen before side of the man, then around 1980 a third page in a career gave us the rebel outlaw John Austin Paycheck, and with his compadre Jim Vest on the Steel gave us some of the rowdiest music we heard in ages.
@@balladeer45 Jones once said in an interview that he honed his later vocal style after Johnny had been his frontman in his band.... He accredits JP for his intonation and delivery, so in essence you're both right......
Nothing Nothing like good old country music 🎶
Ole Johnny had his problems, BUT, it is my opinion he deserves a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Absolutely!! Shameful that he is not!
The best version of this song by far, besides the fact he wrote it, the pure emotion in his voice
By far the best!!❤
Took me years to find this. Up til now, I’d only heard Ray Price do it, but I knew Johnny had written and recorded it.
I absolutely love his voice..so soulful n distinctive..if he sang a song you'd know it was him..RIP Jonny Pa
Payheck..u rock still 2021.
what a voice ,what a talented singer, such a sad sad ending to his life, what a loss for us all. i sing his songs i love the story his song tell. R Leath

Great version of this song .
Paycheck wrote it
This one is great
Johnny the best
He wrote once you ve had the best song by jones
undubbed version from jukebox charlie is the far superior heartfelt version - both good, RIP Johnny
I think Paycheck was a drummer for a long time in Ray Prices band, am i right?
John wrote it didnt he
Wayne, john taught george this style.

no he didn't

John has a few different words than the version by the master Ray Price
Johnny wrote the song he knows the words!
if you write a song, you must sing the song.....
I remember him doing another version of this. Did he record two?
Most likely, yup.
Another woman like me i love you
Johnny is the best Ray is good but not as good as johnny.
Totally agree!
John may have written this one however he gets 3rd place on singing it Ray Price #1 Claud Grey #2 the not maybe Paycheck #3 just maybe.
