George Jones - "He Stopped Loving Her Today"

[@GuriMalla2010]

Lyrics:
He said "I'll love you till I die", she told him "You'll forget in time"
As the years went slowly by, she still preyed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall, went half-crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all, hoping she'd come back again
Kept some letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two
He had underlined in red every single "I love you"
I went to see him just today, oh but I didn't see no tears
All dressed up to go away, first time I'd seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
You know, she came to see him one last time
Aww, 'n' we all wondered if she would
And it kept runnin' through my mind "this time he's over her for good"
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they'll carry him away
He stopped loving her today

Hello young lady 👋, how are you doing?

[@JustLor7777]

@LuisDennis432 Yes I'm here Dennis...in youtube..

[@all4one06]

My brothers couldn’t understand why l loved this song so much. They thought a young black man couldn’t possibly love this type of music. I love all genres of music - especially pop and country! “He Stopped Loving Her Today” is perhaps one of the greatest country songs of all time. I can now understand why it was ‘Country Music’s Song Of The Year’ two years running: 1980 and 1981! It’s a classic!!!! Rest in Peace 🕊️ Possum - George Jones…

I met Mr Jones in New Orleans in the 80's this man was a true gentleman. He walking by me in a bar he was leaving I said I love your music Mr Jones he stopped and spoke with me for almost 30 minutes. Pure class I felt like I had ran into a old friend i hadn't seen in years.

[@user-pw9kv2uj6e]

A Gentleman

[@unncommonsense]

I wish I could have met him. One of the best singers in his era.

[@jonahstocks322]

Surprised to hear he was leaving

[@judithbishop993]

There will never be another George Jones ......... ever.

[@thaisbury3301]

Thank God I saw him in person with my husband at Detroit's State Fair, all those years ago

[@brianmccallie8170]

Exactly never another one

[@whatsit2ya247]

Got to see him at a Vince Gill concert in Boise about thirty years ago, wasn't even expecting to see him there, he was the highlight of the show!

[@anitarobertson4479]

Check out his song, "Who's Gonna Fill their Shoes?"

[@patrickmurphy9470]

No country singer past, present or future will ever sound better than George. No auto tune, no lip syncing. Real artist. The 🐐!

[@berto01]

I vividly remember when I was about 16 years old my late father suddenly yelling for me to come into the living room. He said son come quick and listen. This, he said is probably the greatest country song of all time. I stood and listened to George Jones sing He Stopped Loving her Today on TV. (before the internet and when TV only had 12 or so channels) And as a ACDC, Motley Crue loving teen I was taken aback and absolutely floored. Thank you Dad and thank you George for forever turning me onto REAL country music.

[@TheSteveinNY]

This is pretty awesome, because I am your age and my Dad did the same thing.

[@patdennis2774]

George was the greatest of all time.Your Dad told you the truth.
I didn't know your Dad but I feel like I did because.he knew real talent

[@gmandersonjr]

I like Tom T. Hall alot too. He was the peot Laurent of country music. He wrote a lot of hits like Harper PTA.

[@davidspears4550]

It's not even that great of a song, but the way George Jones did it made it one for the ages.

[@tracey-janestewart8112]

[@williemoreno3010]

I may be Hispanic but let me tell you something nothing on this god's given earth touches your SOUL deeper than GOSPEL and COUNTRY music PERIOD. ❤

[@fletcher7149]

Amen man

[@margaretcarmona215]

❤ ❤🎉🎉

[@josephortiz2347]

And why being hispanic have anything to do with liking or not liking country music? I have music sung in different languages and don't give them any thought about their original language; music is music and a good song is a good song, regardless.

[@beyourself2444]

I am black Caribbean and I grew up on many types of music but African American old school gospel and old school country were always it…

[@mattemal6054]

ok but nothing can make you cry in your beer like a Vicente Fernandez ranchero

[@rhondaboncutter5812]

One of my favorite George Jones songs! Born in 1953, grew up with best of Country! Now 70 years old, still love old Country best!

[@darkododge8565]

Same! I'm 70 now, too. I've always loved George Jones and Conway Twitty. ❤

[@carolluma5666]

Top shelf

[@RoySATX]

This song still breaks my heart every time I hear it. I was six in 1970, the year my pop retired from the Army and my mom retired from being his wife. The wars were over but the conflicts raged on. The honky-tonk my dad ran was between our house and the creek, and my time growing up was spent equally divided between the three locations. The clientele was almost completely vets, like my father, and every one of them knew this song word for word, moment by moment, day by day until one by one they all got carried away. Here's to you, Pop. the greatest warrior I've ever known.

[@shodanart]

Can’t listen without crying, even at the age of 78 still gets me every time!💔

[@robinross3183]

This was truly my Dad's song...when my Mother left him I was 5... when I was grown he told me he thought he would lose his mind when she left...he didn't but he never married again and lived alone until he passed away at 70. . Makes me cry every time.

[@greenfairy4894]

🥺💔

[@brian_nirvana]

Culturally significant. The future generations will thank you for putting this on TH-cam

There's not a pop country singer on today's radio, who could tune this legend's guitar strings.

[@jonisler3267]

This song is considered to be the greatest country song ever written and I can see why! It truly is a masterpiece and with a voice like George Jones it’s even greater!

[@franciscain1746]

I would fight to say this is the greatest song ever written. Not just the greatest country song

[@SkooterSmith]

One of the best songs ever written. And George Jones nailed it 100%.

[@joanschwieters8838]

[@angryllama3414]

He was an alcoholic. Probably depressed most of his life but some of the best art in all its forms are made by people who've experienced pain and hardships in their lives.

[@russellmakar579]

In the words of Wayon If we could all sound like we wanted to, we’d sound like George Jones.

[@ajohnson1969]

I’m GenX, and I grew up, listening to this old country because my Dad loved it. I always loved the newer country when I was in college, but now that I’m in midlife, I revert back to all of the “old country“ because it reminds me of my Dad. This is a great song, and it has always made me cry. No matter how many times I’ve heard it in my lifetime, I feel the heartache to my core.❤

[@dlhartley157]

This earth will never be blessed by a country voice like George Jones. He was a gift from God. RIP Possum.

[@dlhartley157]

I meant "another country voice like George Jones."

[@mikemandel5775]

Arguably the most perfect country song of all time, sung by a true vocal master.

[@TheMixrdrvr]

Alan Jackson sang this at George's funeral, it brought the meaning of this song full circle, I cried a lot as I was going through some emotional things myself and this song was and is my all time favorite ❤

George Jones IS Country.Thank you,George.

[@KeithM-ds1cf]

My late dad introduced me to good country music back in the early 80s when I was a child. This was the first George Jones song he let me listen to. Even at 5 years old, it hooked me and i've been a fan of The Possum ever since. I was fortunate enough to see him perform at the Oil Palace in Tyler,Texas here before he passed. His music always reminds me of much better times, those good times with my family and my late best friend watching Hee Haw on TV, and especially singing along with my dad in that old white 1971 Chevrolet truck. I wouldn't trade those times for anything.

[@SheilahBoyea]

No other singer could have pulled this song off. Perfection.

[@larrydixon-vi7ld]

Me and 3 friends played this song everytime we would drink some beer at a mom and pop joint at least 3 times a week , we would sing along and would get a standing ovation everytime from everyone there , good times in the early 80s

[@lauraterrell5005]

This is a George Jones classic, nobody can sing this song like he did. NOBODY.

[@possumhayes]

no one in the world , and each time George did it live it was always slightly different, but always Amazing , i gave up doin it because George has it to a level no one will ever reach

[@cabbagehead8082]

When my Grandfather passed away from black lung working in the Labrador mines this casset tape was left in his car tape player. Last thing he listened to I guess. Its been decades now. He was a hard man. An nforgiving man. Worked till the end. Cant believe how much I'm like him. RIP

[@MorganAlexander-kv1tf]

Hello, how are you doing today, I hope you’re having a wonderful day?

[@WildPhotoShooter]

The great thing is he sings it slightly different every time he does it , he changes the phrasing like no one else can........But George did that with nearly every song.

[@kellysong2256]

Alan Jackson is a close second, but he still couldn't outdo George

[@jamiewaldrop9411]

I was amazed by the actor who played him in George and Tammy. Couldn't sing like George but you could damn well feel the emotion in his performance

[@Inezzmonroe57]

I lost the love of my life in 1991. I've never truly gotten over him. I was married ten years after he died, my now ex lived with a ghost, I can't help it, no one will ever take his place in my heart.
