This video was absolutely awesome . I was gaspin for air as I was listenin 2 George and Marty sang! My mom would wake from her sleep in Heaven if she could hear this! My mom was Italian American but she wasn't listening 2 Frank Sinatra , she was listenin 2 George , Marty, Hank, Johnny, etc. God rest their souls! Amen!
Both are absoloute legends but I personally prefer Marty because of his voice and style of music. There’s just something about his songs that calms me and he had to have been one of the best songwriters in history. His ability to sign and tell a story is astounding.
Two of the absolute best to ever sing country music.... two pair of shoes that will never be filled, because they don't even make them kind of shoes anymore!
What many do not know is that George Jones, Janis Joplin, Tex Ritter (Tantamount entertainer to Roy Rogers) Mark Chesnutt, Clay Walker, Tracy Byrd, Jimmy Johnson, (former Dallas Cowboy Coach), Bum Phillips (Former Houston Oilers/New Orleans Saints Coach) all grew up within 30 miles of each other in the Beaumont - Orange, Port Arthur, Texas - Southeast Texas Region. In his hometown, there are no statues, no plaques, no roads, no schools named in his memory.
Oh please. All Elvis did was sing songs he stole from black musicians. Only thing he had going for him was his unique style due to his good looks and dancing. Style over substance. The mans singing wasn't anything special
Love them both! But i've always had a special place in my heart for Marty Robbins, i've always loved his voice, and he's so good looking, especially when he was younger....just adorable!❤ Love, & miss you Marty! Rip❤
I grew up in the late 1960's & Classic Rock has always been my fav....but my parents loved country. I think of them while enjoying these & surprise myself knowing the lyrics on many. I've really enjoyed these videos. Marty Robbins is a legend.
Wow, I mean I’m speechless, this was a masterpiece. Two of the greatest Country Artists of all time just singing their hearts out to show each other the respect they have for each other. I’ve heard a few Marty Robins song, but man can he sing. Never knew he could could like this just amazing.
GEORGE JONES HAS NEVER, WILL NEVER BE IN THE SAME CLASS AS MARTY ROBBINS THIS MANS TALENTS WERE AWSOME. HIS SINGING, PIANO, GUITAR PLAYING ALWAYS THE BEST. RACE DRIVER AND MOST IMPORTANT STABLE LOVING HUSBAND AND FATHER AND CHRISTAIN THESE ARE THE INPORTANT THINGS HE WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR. HIS BEAUTIFUL SINGING A SPECIAL PLUS. RIP MARTY. GONE TOO SOON.
We met George and his wife Kathy in Greenville SC they was very nice I've met so many Stars we met Johnny Cash at his house he took us across to the street to meet his mother there was a Good Record sitting on the Piano Johnny autographed his book an gave to my mother and Jerry Flower bought my lunch my daddy was with me that was very intertaining an we had breakfast with Ronnie Stowman from HeeHaw
As a drummer I kinda like that the snare mic was a bit to hot in this recording.. while it does distract a bit from the performance, its great to hear the drummer having a bit a fun.
George many times seemed like he felt a little uncomfortable or awkward in footage that I’ve seen. Just an observation. Still a legend with his names sketched into the hall of eternity. I get the feeling that he was in his head a lot
No one in today's country music can hold a candle to these brilliant artists.
Nobody could hold a candle to them back then, either. These 2 were on a level of their own
When two legends try to one up each other the only winner is your own ears. Awesome stuff!
ABSOLUTELY
Well put sir. I couldn’t agree more
Two great legends are gone but this old country is all I listen to today's country ain't the Same
It's not going to happen my friend it's not going to happen
Two of the best that ever was in this business... Both are missed ...
To hear good old country songs in 2023 is like giving you a relaxing time away from all the hectic work of the day.
What great country singers. This is what I love about country music. Today music is not country music.
Just 2 guys who were huge fans of each other with the best seats in the house.
Omg fantanstic
This video was absolutely awesome . I was gaspin for air as I was listenin 2 George and Marty sang! My mom would wake from her sleep in Heaven if she could hear this!

You know that is one awesome comment you left
Frank Sinatra said after George's death that he was the second greatest singer in the world! That's funny you wrote
Two legends many years ago. They still are today. RIP Guys. Your music is timeless.
Two of the best ever.
Both are absoloute legends but I personally prefer Marty because of his voice and style of music. There’s just something about his songs that calms me and he had to have been one of the best songwriters in history. His ability to sign and tell a story is astounding.
Two of the absolute best to ever sing country music.... two pair of shoes that will never be filled, because they don't even make them kind of shoes anymore!
Gold in it's purest form.
This platform is missed!!!
SORRY GEORGE WAS NEVER,EVER THE GREATEST, HE JUST THOUGHT HE WAS. PERHAPS THE GREATEST DRUNK

The possum and the Cheshire Cat. I love these two.

George Jones is the greatest singer ever to live! Love Marty Robbins too of course and is one of the greatest but George was the GOAT!
No he was the possum.
Love both of them
The gunfighter and the possum himself such a legendary video

Two Legends in one frame of mind and one Accord..... Great voices of the legendaries
Wow, I mean I’m speechless, this was a masterpiece. Two of the greatest Country Artists of all time just singing their hearts out to show each other the respect they have for each other. I’ve heard a few Marty Robins song, but man can he sing. Never knew he could could like this just amazing.
Just amazing!!!
Ya ......cos there were no auto tunes....just pure natural voices.
Great talents
Saw Marty on his last tour..... My high School let School out early when the news came out .
GEORGE JONES HAS NEVER, WILL NEVER BE IN THE SAME CLASS AS MARTY ROBBINS THIS MANS TALENTS WERE AWSOME. HIS SINGING, PIANO, GUITAR PLAYING ALWAYS THE BEST. RACE DRIVER AND MOST IMPORTANT STABLE LOVING HUSBAND AND FATHER AND CHRISTAIN THESE ARE THE INPORTANT THINGS HE WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR. HIS BEAUTIFUL SINGING A SPECIAL PLUS. RIP MARTY. GONE TOO SOON.
Both men were great entertainers. They are missed.
Two very different styles, two great talents. Both reached greatness in their own way.
You're right. George is not in the same class as Marty....George is way, way above him!!
We met George and his wife Kathy in Greenville SC they was very nice
I've met so many Stars we met Johnny Cash at his house he took us across to the street to meet his mother there was a Good Record sitting on the Piano Johnny autographed his book an gave to my mother and Jerry Flower bought my lunch my daddy was with me that was very intertaining an we had breakfast with Ronnie Stowman from HeeHaw
I'm glad we took pictures cause nobody would believe that
Fabulous
Super.
So good
Marty's version of "Ruby don't take your love to town" put's Kenny Rogers to shame IMO.
Mary Robbins known as the boy with the tear in his voice.
legends loved them .
I caught that slip Marty , but you’re forgiven!
George really brought out the Calvary at 5:15 lol
Before everyone just sat around wearing headphones and BS'ing about themselves into microphones. You know? Actually did something.
I belive white lightning had a kick a strong one💪 🤣
As a drummer I kinda like that the snare mic was a bit to hot in this recording.. while it does distract a bit from the performance, its great to hear the drummer having a bit a fun.
George many times seemed like he felt a little uncomfortable or awkward in footage that I’ve seen. Just an observation. Still a legend with his names sketched into the hall of eternity. I get the feeling that he was in his head a lot
Anybody know when this episode aired?
1980s
Marty was good but couldn't hold a candle to George, it sure did make for great listening though.
shoulda passed the joint not the white lightnin'....
Marty Robins biggest fan was Marty Robins.
Marty couldn’t touch Jones
Ye he could. Marty was damn good.
