I gotta sing it at my nephew's wedding in two days! My nephew is doing George's part. Dolly and George are both legends. I've decided I'm gonna give it my best!
2 legends. I was very sad to hear that Dolly had retired recently, although she was certainly entitled to and deserved to retire at her age. I'll miss her though.
I cry when he sings & it grieves me that he and Tammy went thru so much sadness. But it’s that sadness that created a huge impact on all of us - the greatest love story ever. If I can still cry today, George did his job.
Agreed if u think about it Kelly there’s really no one else ever in the world to take the place of dolly alam Garth Dwight George Reba once there gone we will only have TH-cam ☹️
@@thatgirlthatsme this was a Hank Williams Jr original, they played it well and it fits George too, but many believe it's about Hanks life and his second wife.
The man had a passion for country music. He sang until the day he died. His voice was long past it’s prime at this point and it’s still better than any of that bullshit that has come out of Nashville for the last decade. LONG LIVE THE POSSUM.
I love him every song brings us to a special moment in our lives some happy some bring tears but never the less I wouldn't trade them for nothing from 5 years old to 54 years old every song has a special place. I cried my ass off 10 years ago when I called mom and dad to tell them George Jones died it was like losing a close relative I still miss this man.
RIGHT! He could have been blasted out his mind on that old Rotgut whiskey, sang the fucking Alphabet backward and Still brought tears to the biggest man's eyes lol Simply the Best 👍 Him And Conway Twitty both

Dolly (A female) has saved many of our male careers (Not just Male Country Singers), she doesn’t ask for recognition, and still remains on top. What a wonderful representative of and for our Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, God!!!!
I agree with you. I can listen to George, Dolly, & many others that I grew up with, any time. My Dad's name is also, George, coincidentally & it was him who rubbed off on me as far as who I listen to, etc... He had a lot of 8 Tracks, records of different sizes, cassettes, etc... Of everyone from Flatt & Scruggs who were Dad's bluegrass kings, Hank Williams Sr, Jr & Don who were Dad's country kings (in order they happened), The Rolling Stones who were Dad's Rock N Roll kings, etc.... He had a series of tapes that we always listened to for years called, Super Country 85, 86, 87, 88, & 89, & other tapes like them too. On those albums were Dolly, George, The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, Highway 101, Exile, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Kendalls, Steve Wariner, Mel McDaniel, T.G. Shepard, The Berlin Brothers, The Statler Brothers, Alabama, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, & tons more. He even had 8 Tracks of Kenny Rogers, Neil Diamond, James Taylor, Merle Haggard, Kitty Wells, Johnny & Jack, Charlie Rich, Charley Pride, & tons more. My Dad is now 68 & has always been a huge music buff. I've always nicknamed him, The Music King & my Mom (Dale) The Movie Queen or The TV Queen. Because if they had a choice & were only allowed 1 thing, Dad would choose a radio & Mom a tv, when I was growing up. I am both of them together but, if I could only pick 1, I find it harder to live without music or a radio than tv. Yet, I love them both & am a huge fan of so many on each, honestly. Thanks to George, Dolly, James Taylor & even Buddy Holly & The Crickets for being my earliest favourites of all, my favourites list kept growing longer & longer. Buddy has always been my Rock N Roll King, George & Dolly my country King & Queen & James Taylor my Folk Music King. So many favourites. Love them all. :)
I will always regret that I didn't get to see George Jones in concert. George Jones,Conway Twitty,Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard were the four most awesome REAL country singers. Most of the stuff in the last 20 years isn't country. I LOVE real country singers!
I went to a concert with both George Jones and Conway Twitty in November of 1992. Conway had lost his voice and he said he would come back soon to do another show. So, George sang for almost two hours! Great show. Sadly, Conway died in June of 1993 so I didn't get to see him in concert. I did get to see George about 8 times and loved every one! RIP POSSUM.
At one time George Jones didn't want to sing this song because, he thought it hit a little close to home. Very glad he did perform this song with Dolly Parton! You Rock Possum!
For the record it was written for, and BY, Hank Jr. I'd bet he would be the FIRST to tell you it's Jr, not Hank Williams(which will always be Sr to some of us). Although that is why it fits Hank Jr better, how is George Jones' name a reminder of a blues man that's already gone(I mean I like this version I just wish he would have changed the line or something as it never made sense to me).
@@thegoldfly1 good point. As good as he sings this song nobody does it like or as full of feeling like Hank Williams jr. Brings a damn tear to my eye every time I hear it
WOW DOLLY Really Kicked ASS on this Great DUET.Due to Topic Matter MR. JONES didnt Have to try so hard , but did a superb job As USUAL. BEAUTIFUL Hats off to Hank JR.
exactly! Great song, and when Dolly comes in at 1:44, man, she power nails the lyrics with her voice, sounding stronger than I've heard her sound in awhile.
God bless America! This is country music! I wish they still played country music like this today. :/ George Jones and Dolly Parton sang this beautiful song so perfect. This is good ole country music. And I think everyone can sooner or later relate to this song! Rip George Jones.
I love the Alan Jackson version of this song, but Dolly Parton is one of my all time favorite artists, and I had no idea she did it fist and it's beautiful! I had the opportunity to see Alan perform it live over the summer and it was a once in a lifetime experience.
I was in Okinawa Japan in 1980 as a Marine on active duty. I bought the new Hank Williams jr record, and this song was on that album. Hank wrote it about himself, long before Alan Jackson covered it. I learned to play and sing it myself, but I can't do it justice like Hank, Alan, George & Dolly!
This song is a very special one. It is a duet of the ones that I called my Country Music King & Queen growing up. George was my 1st favorite & most favorite singer & Dolly was my 1st favorite female singer growing up. I could never get enough of either one of them on Awards Shows, Interviews, Concerts, etc.... I just could not get enough of either one of them. :)
Here I am still loving these two harmonising so wonderfully as I am waiting for 2023 to make an appearance. RIP George and please keep well Dolly. We will love you both forever, thank you. ❤️❤️
I'm 39 yrs old & I barley heard this song like 6 months ago when my boyfriend played it for me on one of those nights when he feels like dancing even if its just dancing in the living room ... One of the most romantic experiences I've had with him. I just fell in love with this songs.
Being a lifelong fan of both George & Dolly, I've always found it hard to pick only 1 from their list of contributions in their musical libraries. I've always said it you like Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes, He Stopped Loving Her Today, A Picture of Me Without You, Bartender's Blues (solo or with James Taylor who wrote it), etc.. I'm sure you'll love his songs: I Can Live Forever, which is a great Country Gospel song. I've always found it to be very uplifting & a song of great faith too. It makes people look at death one day in a calm, relaxed, positive kind of way. It's as though the song is saying, hey, don't fear death. You can talk to Jesus, you can see the lord. He describes in a very positive way now curious he is, how looking forward he is, & how sure he is about what's in the next life even though he's still here living this one. It's a really great song. Another Jones classic. As for his song, Choices, it will remind anyone of the song we listen to & are talking about on here, The Blues Man. This too, really blends well in the same category of subjects, as She Loved A Lot In Her Time, He Stopped Loving Her Today, & many others of his that we all know & can feel him saying while singing that this is a biographical song for him. Such great Jones classics for sure.
My husband once dedicated this to me, and I rededicated where she sings to George to my husband. Now, I fear we're splitting up and I can't help listen to this, wishing the "old times" was back.. 😔
George Jones laid the path for the country music after this song. Where it went with today's country I don't know. I've said it a million times. George tough us how to sing with a broken heart. Vince Gill said it's it beat. On that statement.
No One can replace George. I've been listening to him ,Since the 60s. . .and I'm here today. He's That One in a Million. . NOW You are that Bright and Shinning Star! RIP Mr.Jones. Loved and Missed.
I got to see him in concert. what a beautiful show. his first song was a shop loving her today. just like it came off the album. i’m glad that I was able to see him. now this ladies and gentlemen is country. A lot better than the crap .we have out there today.
For the record, GEORGE JONES was the first artist offered the song MURDER ON MUSIC ROW, but George Strait and Alan Jackson got wind of it and recorded it before George got a chance to!
I NEVER BECAME A GEORGE JONES FAN UNTIL I SAW GEORGE STRAIT MOVIE, SEEN IT LEAST 20 TIMES. EVERY TIME GEORGE JONES COMES ON TV, ALSO SEEN OVER DOZENS OF TIMES...THIS TWO SINGERS ARE "TRUE" PURE COUNTRY, LOVE IT !!! LOVE GEORGE AND DOLLY DOING "BLUES MAN", GREAT !!
He is in Country Rockabilly Heaven with all the other Greats. Kickin up trouble & Rockin out. Hope I get to go to that concert when it's My time. Hell yeah
I thought no one could beat Dolly n Kenny but this just might be the same , absolutely beautiful song 💞💞💞👌👌👌I'm thinking that's Tammy watching over him from above , Dolly done fab as always 💖🥰🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
WOW! I have never watched or listened to this song before, Dolly and George are great together! From Dolly's twiiter page today...."My heart is absolutely broken. George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world." True Friends both on and off stage.
Great to see another broaden their horizons music-wise. If you love George you'll love Boxcar Willie, Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff who was 1 of George's heroes, Merle Haggard who was George's favourite male singer & as far as I'm concerned was his best male duet partner too. Heading them sing Yesterdays Wine for instance that my Dad played too many times to count, was 1 of George & Merle's best songs, period. It should be in the hall of fame as 1 of the best duets, ever. It's a classic. When Alan Jackson did A Good Year For The Roses with George, that too, was another great Jones duet. So many to choose from & all of these & many others are on my lifelong list of favourite songs. If you love Dolly, you'll love the Honky Tonk Angels album. That was the album that I nicknamed, The 3 Queens of Country Music Album. Dolly was my queen, & my Mom loved Tammy & Dad really liked Loretta a lot & listened to all 3 of them & many others too. I used to say growing up, it would be amazing to hear the 3 of them get together like that, & when I was in my 20s & they did, I was blown away just as I knew I would be if I ever heard them together. They were legendary together. just as Dolly also was with Linda Ronstadt, & Emmylou Harris for their TRIO 1 & 2 albums. All for the hall of fame in my book. They should have all been inducted as the trio groups, just as they were solo because both of these trio groups are as country as you'll ever get for all women groups. As we all said & know too. Dolly can blend her voice with pretty much anyone of any style. One of the best singers, songwriters, entertainers, actresses, comedians, hosts, etc.. of all time. I've always loved all of her work. A lifelong fan of here always.
I herd this song when it first come out country music today just aint like it was back in the day when u could understand it well mr possum u r the best singer alive still
2020, The Possum will forever be one of the greatest.. Remember he’s from Texas! Could you imagine being Hank Jr getting a phone call with George asking if him and Dolly could cover one of your songs.
These two are not only the greatest singers in America but they have honest true soul, i wish there were more people like these two,🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🌼 🎶
Best country singer theres ever been on earth and never will be beaten, no Matter what his age he had the best country voice ever ❤ George Jones rip king legend 🙏🙏🙏
Many people are still listening to this in 2024, best music ever.. real music, great harmonies great story, awesome music
He's the greatest country legend of all time!!!
Yessir as always, when music was music and it really had something to say. Stay safe stay vigilant my friend God bless...

I cry when he sings & it grieves me that he and Tammy went thru so much sadness. But it’s that sadness that created a huge impact on all of us - the greatest love story ever. If I can still cry today, George did his job.
No One can fill his shoes
Yes
Dolly is one of the greatest duet harmonizing talents on this planet.
Saw her with Porter Wagner in the early 70's, they were good.
If George had a choice, you could bet he would have loved to do this duet with Tammy
Love george

I have to disagree. I don't think he would have wanted to sing a song (that sounds like he's singing about Nancy) with Tammy.

Being a lifelong fan of both George & Dolly, I've always found it hard to pick only 1 from their list of contributions in their musical libraries. I've always said it you like Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes, He Stopped Loving Her Today, A Picture of Me Without You, Bartender's Blues (solo or with James Taylor who wrote it), etc.. I'm sure you'll love his songs: I Can Live Forever, which is a great Country Gospel song. I've always found it to be very uplifting & a song of great faith too.

For the record since no one seems to know, Hank Williams, Jr. wrote this. This is an awesome rendition.
Maybe so however the part in the lyrics about not showing up for shows is what Jones did he carried the nickname of No Show Jones.
For the record, GEORGE JONES was the first artist offered the song MURDER ON MUSIC ROW, but George Strait and Alan Jackson got wind of it and recorded it before George got a chance to!
Seems almost autobiographical to me.
@@me4untn1 Hank Jr had his fair share of not showing up for shows as well
Asian Jackson wrote it
Listening in February 2024.....😊
April 2024.
What a blend of timeless voices. The chorus raises goosebumps for sure.
Still love your music and wonderful voice with all my heart George. You are truly missed.
I love you George, the true Goat of country music. Rest Easy ❤
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS VERSION
AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL

How are you doing today
I NEVER BECAME A GEORGE JONES FAN UNTIL I SAW GEORGE STRAIT MOVIE, SEEN IT LEAST 20 TIMES. EVERY TIME GEORGE JONES COMES ON TV, ALSO SEEN OVER DOZENS OF TIMES...THIS TWO SINGERS ARE "TRUE" PURE COUNTRY, LOVE IT !!! LOVE GEORGE AND DOLLY DOING "BLUES MAN", GREAT !!
sad no one in country music today can sing great.george in his seventies better than most today
Alan Dorcas That's no lie. Everything now is Pop crap.
NO ONE has the lungs that George Jones has! one of a kind!! Only one voice like his!!RIP Mr.Jones!
Alan Dorcas George Jones will always b no. 1 without a doubt
Jamey Johnson is good
I agree country sucks right now
My father in law got me into country so many years ago. God how I miss you pat. Rest in peace my friend..
The two best voices in all of music God EVER made right here!
This is one great song. Love George and Dolly
one of the finest country songs ever "penned" ❤😊
He is in Country Rockabilly Heaven with all the other Greats. Kickin up trouble & Rockin out. Hope I get to go to that concert when it's My time. Hell yeah
I thought no one could beat Dolly n Kenny but this just might be the same , absolutely beautiful song 💞💞💞👌👌👌I'm thinking that's Tammy watching over him from above , Dolly done fab as always 💖🥰🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
LUELLA-- today is SAT MARCH 14-2020 - I love this song- probably listened to this 40 times! Randy B.
Brother George will always be the goat to me in my mind. The man puts a comfort over you words can't describe
This tune shows just how excellent excellence can be....the pure essence of a real country song. Dolly power sings it. Awesome, both of them
She just belts it out like no one else can
WOW! I have never watched or listened to this song before, Dolly and George are great together! From Dolly's twiiter page today...."My heart is absolutely broken. George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world." True Friends both on and off stage.
Great to see another broaden their horizons music-wise. If you love George you'll love Boxcar Willie, Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff who was 1 of George's heroes, Merle Haggard who was George's favourite male singer & as far as I'm concerned was his best male duet partner too. Heading them sing Yesterdays Wine for instance that my Dad played too many times to count, was 1 of George & Merle's best songs, period. It should be in the hall of fame as 1 of the best duets, ever. It's a classic. When Alan Jackson did A Good Year For The Roses with George, that too, was another great Jones duet. So many to choose from & all of these & many others are on my lifelong list of favourite songs. If you love Dolly, you'll love the Honky Tonk Angels album. That was the album that I nicknamed, The 3 Queens of Country Music Album. Dolly was my queen, & my Mom loved Tammy & Dad really liked Loretta a lot & listened to all 3 of them & many others too. I used to say growing up, it would be amazing to hear the 3 of them get together like that, & when I was in my 20s & they did, I was blown away just as I knew I would be if I ever heard them together. They were legendary together. just as Dolly also was with Linda Ronstadt, & Emmylou Harris for their TRIO 1 & 2 albums. All for the hall of fame in my book. They should have all been inducted as the trio groups, just as they were solo because both of these trio groups are as country as you'll ever get for all women groups. As we all said & know too. Dolly can blend her voice with pretty much anyone of any style. One of the best singers, songwriters, entertainers, actresses, comedians, hosts, etc.. of all time. I've always loved all of her work. A lifelong fan of here always.
Two of the best . Unreplaceable
Hey dear how are you doing over there ?
I herd this song when it first come out country music today just aint like it was back in the day when u could understand it well mr possum u r the best singer alive still
Like music
yeah I agree with u
To get the emotion from a song in just the right way there was no better voice than George Jones, he nailed it every time.
2020, The Possum will forever be one of the greatest.. Remember he’s from Texas! Could you imagine being Hank Jr getting a phone call with George asking if him and Dolly could cover one of your songs.
These two are not only the greatest singers in America but they have honest true soul, i wish there were more people like these two,🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🌼 🎶
I sure do miss him
Best country singer theres ever been on earth and never will be beaten, no Matter what his age he had the best country voice ever ❤ George Jones rip king legend 🙏🙏🙏

I seen George 3 times, met his second wife and talked to her in the walkway, this song brings tears like many others of his do, he,s the greatest.
I know Hank Williams Jr. Wrote this about himself.but george makes it as his own
God I have to come and listen to this every so often, tears in my eyes. I love you George❤ November 2023. I’ll be back for another listen
I just love the way these country singers write and sing about their lives its so heartwarming lovely sings rip George
