My husband wanted this song played at his funeral. I did it for him. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He served as a Naval Chief for 20 plus years. I miss him terribly.
Doris Poggi. Wow you are straight on I just heard some famous song writers say that this song and GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN WERE MOST LIKELY THE 2 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME. SMART LADY. PEACE !!!!!
George Jones is a "ONE OFF" this man could sing the telephone directory and make you cry your eyes out. If only Country music was still like this today, but as history repeats itself one day it will get back what it has lost.
Mr45Bullitt I heard a rumor that before this song came out that GEORGE JONES went to the late and great Mr.Johnny Cash and told him that he needed to borrow 1 MILLION DOLLARS and that Johnny never flinched and wrote him a check for the money never asked him what it was for NOTHING else was said and 2 weeks later this song came out and well we know the rest of the story I honestly believe that because I heard it from a very reliable source??? LET me know what you think !!!!!
It has been 4 years 8 month 16 days since my wife past away and I have not been hunting since that day went to the restaurant in town walked in remined me our time there I left and walk home the night are so long the days are even longer . Friend came over told me I should start dating agene told him that would make me fill as if I was cheating on my wife. Thought a bout ending it but I do not have the guts to do that and that is a sin too so I just set in my room and look at her pitcher and talk to her and it help some watch video's this was our favorite song talk her help me aim 70 now not long to wait now . Thank you for your time to read this.
John, I'm still young enough where I have yet to experience such a profoundly strong love like that of which you shared with your dear late wife(may god rest her soul). But I wanted to tell you that I hope you are well through it all even as things are. You sound like quite the man and I gotta say we don't come out quite the way your generation does these days. Know that god and you relatives whoever they are love you everything in your heart and surely if I ever had the chance to meet and know you I'd come to love you myself. May peace be with you sir.
i met and shook hands with george in canada many years ago , me being a chef he asked me to make his favorite ,oysters rockerfeller . it was a pleasure to do that for you george and i thank you for such beautiful music over the years and thank you for your autograph. rest in peace king of country...
I’d never heard of George Jones before last week as I’d never listened much to country music. However this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. What a voice he had.
There will never be another GORGE JONES, never was and never will. love him since I was in my early twenties and still so to this day 50 years. love him so much there will never be another George Jones
JUST LISTEN TO THAT APPLAUSE! GREATEST Country Singer of our time Singing The GREATEST Country Song EVER! My Daddy and I use to dance to this. Miss you Daddy
Just wanted to say that I had the honor and privilege in not only, seeing this man in concert, but getting to meet him. To his Family,and his wife Nancy, my sincere condolences. There will be no one to fill This Man"s shoes. He is ,was,and always be Country music. Rest in peace., and thank you for sharing your music with the world!
At the memorial service for George, Vince Gill said George taught us how to sing a hurtin' song. I don't know how "anybody" will ever do it like George. Ain't nobody gonna fill those shoes. Love you George!
This song brings back memories I saw George Jones in Nashville Tennessee 5 months before he passed away he was playing in Nashville Tennessee at cowboys Bar in Nashville Tennessee on Board way street he played outside in front of the cowboys bar and there were more country music legends playing outside of the bar ❤❤
I saw The Possum in the 50s with my mom and dad ! George Jones was our favorite singer songwriter I have ever heard!!!!!!💙🔥💯😎🎶🧡💛🖤💦🇺🇲🧚🏽♀️🎵🎶🙏🏼🌞💟😍😭💫⭐🌟✨🧡❤️🎉💯🔥💙💜🤎🖤
This is the live in Tennessee concert that was released. I was at this awesome show in Knoxville that night. There will never be another showman or singer like Ol' George. R.I.P Possum.
This song reminds me of my moms 2nd marriage!...Was a major blow to my mental health ! The guy was a Gem still is,....there for I cry every time I hear this song!..very sad😥😊
I saw him In concert 21 years ago on his farewell to Canada tour, as fan since I was 5 it was truly epic to see him preform live. RIP George and thanks for the music and memories through the years.
The clos-ups show the angst, sadness, and a glimmer of what's yet to come on his face and in his eyes. Could see and hear the emotion he was feeling in this live performance.... Awesome.
l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
I saw an interview with George who said he initially refused to record this song because he thought it was too sad and people wouldn't want to hear it....A big THANKS goes to the individual who convinced him so we have this forever now.
I grew up listening to this wonderful man, I am always in awe of what he can do with that beautiful voice. This is what country music was; the cookie cutter junk of today is not country. God bless George Jones, there will NEVER be anyone that can fill his shoes.
I never listened to country music and didn't know George Jones. The first time watching this clip I liked this song very much and thought it was a happy song. I thought, good for him, he's finally over that woman. But after listening better to the song the second time; Goosebumps all over. This is one killer song.
RIP George Jones ♡ It was a Honor To Meet You Years Ago With My Father George . He Would Listen to Your Music and Cry his Heart Out Over My Moma , and this was his Favorite. Miss you George ♡
Please everyone love one another life is super short!! We all have our differences and short comings but hate will get us nowhere. Love is the answer!!!
I saw him at Billy Bob's twice ...the first time he was so drunk he was falling of his barstool saw about 5 years after that hands down one the greatest shows I've ever seen
This song is the epitome of George Jones. They threw away the mold. The best ever in REAL country music. George, you sure paid your dues in this life. I hope you are resting peacefully in Heaven. Singing in the choir with Hank and the boys. RIP forever.
When I was a teenager, I thought ‘old school’ twangy, corny country was about the least cool thing you could listen to. I’d grown up on deep roots delta blues, which isn’t that far…but country seemed so ‘hillbilly’. Always stating the obvious, dichotomous standards of being true and loyal vs infidelity and two-timing up one side and down the middle. Then the new wave of country came in, and it was somehow more “real” to me. When I heard all the new bloods saying over and over how George Jones was their favorite, or most inspirational, I started listening to his older stuff. Wow! Sometimes, a few years gives you a whole different perspective. This song, and George’s rendition, is pretty much untouchable. His voice lends itself completely to the wail of unrequited love. He had his demons, and his personality that often made things difficult in his private life. But stand the ol’ Possum on stage, and he delivered every time. Flawlessly.💕
This was played at my friend and neighbor Lloyd’s funeral for his wife Helen. He was such a George Jones fan. God Bless You Lloyd. We miss you....🌹🙏🏻❤️😁😘
I listened to this song, when I was young and country was un-cool, thought it was corney, but then I got older matured, and really listened tot he song, and learned about real love, devotion...
I still get goosepimples on my arms when I listen to George Jones sing he was one of a kind when God made him he threw the mold away.god how we miss you glad for all the years of the best country music you made for us.
l agree with you, indeed George Jones is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style, he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days.
I think of how nice George always looked - no matter where he was doing his concerts. That means a lot to me when I want to see any artist in person. I like to see them looking their best along with enjoying their special musical talent. It's wonderful that he finally had a good change in his life and he and his wife Nancy became one of Nashville's royal couples. How great to know that we had a truly talented country artist with us for many years.
Phyllis McMullen. He's messing up lil lady I hope he wakes up for your sake because nothing hurts worse than a broken heart I know I have lived it for a long time and IT does get better with time trust me I wish you the very best of life and may God bless you lil lady !!!! Peace
Good lord, I am 34 years old and just absolutely love this era of Country Music. And George Jones just gives me goosebumps every time I hear him. RIP George “possum”. And thank you for the gift of your amazing music.
Well, people talk about emotions in songs, this sets the standard for sure, there will never be another half as good as George, I have to say up in heaven they are lucky to have George there to entertain all our passed souls, down here we have TH-cam thank goodness.
Is the best country song that was ever sung or wrote George Jones was one of the greatest ever they’ll never be another no one will ever fill them shoes
Truly epic performance - a legend in his lifetime with incredible songs. No literally part of his hit 'Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes' gone to join Johnny Cash, Conway, & Waylon in the Opry in the Sky. R.I.P
You just know you're gonna love certain people till you die. My dad used to listen to this song a lot. I didn't understand the truth in it back then when I was a kid but I sure do now.

What a wonderful live version of this song. It's a gut wrencher if you're in a not so good place in your life but still a magnificent song!!!!
Hi Shar💐💐
I died with this song in 1980. I still haven't stopped loving her.
So sorry! 😢🎉❤
My husband wanted this song played at his funeral. I did it for him. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. He served as a Naval Chief for 20 plus years. I miss him terribly.
God bless you and your brave hero husband thank you for honoring his wishes he obviously picked a lady too spend his life with ❤
Thank you. God Bless you and your loved ones.
May your husband RIP😢❤👼🏻
Thanks to him for his service and you for supporting him.
Cause you are a baddie married to a baddie.
Perhaps the best country song ever recorded....
Yes, yes, yes. This song and Vince Gill's "Look at Us" are the most special in my heart. Just pure emotion.
Hootiebird61 I totally agree with you lil lady peace from New York city
Doris Poggi. Wow you are straight on I just heard some famous song writers say that this song and GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN WERE MOST LIKELY THE 2 GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME. SMART LADY. PEACE !!!!!
There’s no “perhaps”, it is the best country song ever recorded.
This or Don't Close Your Eyes. Funny thing is George didn't even like the song.
If you're a grown man and don't tear up at this song there's something wrong with you
, you have the same thing as you can do
George Jones is a "ONE OFF" this man could sing the telephone directory and make you cry your eyes out.
If only Country music was still like this today, but as history repeats itself one day it will get back what it has lost.
The older I get the more I love this song! God Bless you George! No one will fill your shoes!!

This is the live in Tennessee concert that was released. I was at this awesome show in Knoxville that night. There will never be another showman or singer like Ol' George. R.I.P Possum.
He blends a smile and a grimace together so effortlessly. He always smiles through his pain. The King of Heartache
So expressive. Few artists can rise to that level of emotion and meaning.
That’s why his fans miss him so much! That’s our godfather in country music!!!!
Movie George and Tammy brought me here. What a great artist. Truly a Legend....what a life.
I'm still listenin'...... George.... 💯percent Country!

What a sad day there will never be another George Jones God bless him
The clos-ups show the angst, sadness, and a glimmer of what's yet to come on his face and in his eyes. Could see and hear the emotion he was feeling in this live performance.... Awesome.
The noise from the crowd when he starts to sing sends shivers all over my body. One of his best performances of this eternal song.
King of Country music greatest ❤
This to me is when George sounded his absolute best...Drug and alcohol free...a seasoned voice...the best of all time in country music

The G.O.A.T. and his signature song. Every country singer alive worships his memory and wishes they had his voice.
I love to sing his songs especially his number one he stopped loving her today
Chills, What a singer, Rip George, my favorite country singer!!!

Country Music Royalty singing one of the greatest country songs ever. Rest in peace Ol’ Possum.
The year my late Husband and I got married. June 23,1962. ❤❤🎉🎉😢
The Possum. The GOAT. Who's with me?
There isn't a better country song ever composed or sang than this one....THIS is true country music.

It's by far the best country song ever!!!
George thought thus Song was just to SAD for people to buy it 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤😢

Good lord, I am 34 years old and just absolutely love this era of Country Music. And George Jones just gives me goosebumps every time I hear him. RIP George “possum”. And thank you for the gift of your amazing music.
This is real country music!!! I was blessed to have grown up in this era and I miss it dearly!!!!
That last look on George's face.... My heart has been broken too many times. There's a singular finality & it rips me before it changes me.
Pure talent! Classic entertainer. Rip George Glenn Jones.
It must be wonderful to love what you do for a living and be the very best in the world at it. Not many people ever get that combination.
My mom said this was the saddest song she ever heard. This song still makes me cry.
I never get tired of listening him sing this great song. Such a legendary hit.
My Love has joined Jesus...I still love him as much as I did the day we wed. I will love him until I die!
