Indeed, he stopped loving Tammy Wynette today.
Most loved nasal twang in the history of country music, Hank Williams included.

I really liked old 'Possum. I thought he was especially
good on spiritual songs, but was good on everything he
sang. R.I.P.

"Sadly there's no one to fill his shoes."
His shoes nor the shoes of any of the other greats because each and every one of them was unique. Unique voice, unique look and unique style. When George Jones sang, you didn't have to be told it was The Possum. It couldn't be anyone else. Same with Hoyt Axton, Johnny Cash, Ferlin Husky, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubbs, Hank Snow, Brenda Lee, I could go on and on.
Country singers today are cookie cutters as are the pop singers. They all sound alike. Put 'em in a sack and shake 'em and you couldn't tell which one would fall out first.
George, we didn't stop loving you today.

To me, he was the best ever! I used to say that about Hank Sr. but the Possum was the clear winner once he straightened out his life a little.
Greatest country song ever is 'He Stopped Loving Her Today'.
RIP George 'Possum' Jones.

He had a fantastic career, extending it beyond most of his era. I don't think anyone would have turned down a duet with him. They all turned to pure gold. He truly was "hotter than a two dollar pistol".
