this is great!! Paycheck , Jones and a badass hillbilly guitar playing robot with glasses. So tight and on it.... This is what jammin' country music is.
I was at a J. Paycheck concert in the 70's and George Jones walks on stage. He said he was just passin thru. They sang a few songs, had a few drinks and Jones left. RIP
George sang this last saturday in Cary, NC.. I was very impressed and very pleased that he sung it :D The crowd went wild for every song.. he's still the man and king of country! (always will be if you ask me)
This is REAL country!! The way it USTA be !!! Dig Paycheck singing harmony, Jerry Starr and that cool "Ricky" 6 string bass, and Sonny Curtis on that steel.... Smoooooth !! :^)
@cestesbrandese It is Paycheck. From 1962 to 1966, Johnny was the bass player, harmony singer and bandleader with George Jones. Paycheck had briefly worked for Porter Wagoner, Ray Price and Faron Young and was fired by all of them. But he found a kindred spirit in the Possum. Faron Young said of Paycheck, "I can't have anyone in my band who is crazier than I am".
Nice plain Nudie suits, but it works. Nice early shot of the Jones' boys with Paycheck thumbing the bass guitar. What a talented bunch of musicians, backing two singing legends. Thanks for a great post.
i find dis accidently while searching jonas brothers song love bug..but i started 2 like dis song..now i hav been listenin 2 it past 3 hours...such a feel good song
Me i'm 14 and a big fan a George but i need to go to one of his concerts to bad i missed him back in 2005 he was in my town but i didnt even know who he was.
When i first saw this video five or more yrs ago, i assumed it was Kelso Herston playing that awesome 6 string Rickenbacker Guitar. I made a few inquiries and found out (thru Kelso himself) that it was not him, it was a guy named Jerry Starr. Also in the vid is Sonny Curtis on the steel, Ernie Reed on the fiddle, Paycheck (then Donny Young) on bass singing tenor, and Jerry. Don't know who the drummer is, sorry.
he seemed. to have 'such' a lovely very! well. Blessed) voice# as a country! singer! back! in the, 1960s allways sang, for other! people his, Music and voice! will be (missed along! with (johnny) cash! Rip Mr George Jones (HOWDY) in heaven
Does anybody know the brand/model of bass guitar the bassist is using in this video? Doesn't look like anything from the major USA makers... possibly an European import? Italy perhaps?
The Opossum and Johnny Paycheck on the bass. May they both R.I.P

The guitar player Jerry Starr was a close personal friend of my parents. He was an amazing Gurule

I like that amazing guitar solo and George Jones singing is amazing.
This is the best George Jones; with the kind of haircut you can set your watch to. On bass is the Real Mr. Heartache, Johnny Paycheck.
this video should be never ending
Me i'm 14 and a big fan a George but i need to go to one of his concerts to bad i missed him back in 2005 he was in my town but i didnt even know who he was.
this band is on fire
Is that a 'baritone guitar' as I've heard? That basey sound on guitar is incredible!!
that flat top looks so good on George Jones...
you can see johnny paycheck in the back playing base
Love Paycheck's big teisco bass...headstock almost as big as the body

Bass is a Japanese Made Teisco. Looks like Dr Sheldon Cooper on the Rickenbacker 330
great job great song

It was synced. It's most likely a Fender Bass VI on the recording, a pretty common instrument for country music during this time.
the ricky in this song has a killer sound!
I remember hearing this all the time on the radio when I was a kid...Now I feel old.
...and the crowd goes wild haha
This is my childhood song
WOW...ohh that littlle tiny winy thing they call the love bug..
look at that drummer blastin away what a talent
A great Jones song. Paycheck on harmony vocals.
Best in the world of country ! If you like Johnny Paycheck, listen to his "Juke box Charlie" LP... No one can beat it !!!!
awwww... this song reminds me of my ex. He loves this song and his nickname for me was "love bug".... :(
It took me three years and I was getting this song and finally got it down and played it on the gutiar.
Thanks Robin.
this that johnny paycheck with george jones in that video. that's so cool.
glad to see my grandpa rockin pink
1 drum and lead guitar classic country.
if that is seriously ur grandpa you are the luckiest s.o.b. haha ur grandpa is my idol.
shortly after this vidio'' oh george told john son hit the road' as he knew john would make it on his own
Who is the guitar player? He sounds just like the guy on Dave Dudley's Six Days On The Road.....
that looks like johnny paycheck singing with him.
thats cause it is him
@comdrsca Glen Davis is the drummer.The fiddle player is Charlie Justice.
I know he's playing a Ricky but it doesn't sound like one though, it sounds more like a Tele or a Jazzmaster. Makes you wonder if it was a lip sync.
@ringbolt9 it is Johnny :)
@ringbolt9 - That is Johnny Paycheck singing with him.

St.George/Teisco bass
@ringbolt9 It is
