Incredible loss. So many great songs and an incredible voice.

RIP George

At age 81, he did alright, I'd say.

I remember growing up in the southern US, and seeing him on TV and thinking "Man, that's the oldest dude in the world, still touring, making new music, etc..... and he don't NEED no rockin' chair!"

And that was like 15 years ago!

My respects, to a true legend.

Just wow:

R.I.P. Mr.Jones. He had an impact on Country music, for a long, long time. Condolences to his loved ones.

Its not very often that a country music artist comes on the scene that makes you want to pour your heart out. There aren't many country music stars that'll rip and tear your heart out when they sing. Not many of them will give their heart and soul to get to fans like me or you. Then there was George Jones.

Country music lost one of its greatest yesterday.

RIP 'Possum
