@@bokarlsson1027 Hey Bo, George along with Merle Haggard were the 2 best. The Cd 16 Biggest Hits has all the best. Also check out Doug Stone, His Hit I'd be better off in a pine box is my favorite song of all. When Country was really Country. Also Love 2 of my favorite Hockey Players William Karlsson & Erik and of course THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME - NICKLAS LIDSTROM ALONG WITH BORGE SALMING & THE GREATEST SWEDISH GOALIE OF ALL TIME HENRIK LUNDQVIST. HOW SWEDE IT IS. 🏒⛂🚨 .
And umm....Willy. Ya know...the guy who created Farm Aid. And of course Hank Sr. But let's not turn it into a big sausage fest either. Women made real country music too. Patsy, Loretta, Tammy, Dolly, and last but not least Taylor Swift.
Ol George ain’t worried much about singin into the mic. Motions to the sound guy about a hearing problem. LoL. Love me some George. Killer bass player layin it DOWN. Great band. Rightfully so. George was King. In my book.
R.I.P Mr. Possum...! you will be greatly missed by many around the world..! much love and prayers to your family and friends..! love your music touched hearts over and over for many years... love you from the French family in Prince George B.C
"The Race Is On" is a song written by Don Rollins and made a hit on the country music charts b yGeorge Jones and on the pop and easy listening charts by the unrelated Jack Jones. George's version was the first single released from his 1965 album of the same name. Released as a single in September 1964, it peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1965 and it was his only Top-40 hit. Jack's version topped Billboard's Easy Listening chart and reached number 15 on the Hot 100 the same year. The song uses thoroughbred horse racing as the metaphor for the singer's romantic relationships.
One of the first country songs i ever heard from that day on I was a Jones fan. Country music has lost a true legend and one of the best voices in country music history RIP George
Always been one of my favorite country songs. What a unique rendition! I love that you can find five different live recordings by George Jones and each one is totally unique! 14th place! LOL
Where did he get his opening pitch from? I mean, ...the bass player is kinda goofing around, George is talking to the audience and then, he just starts singing right in the exact key of the arrangement. Did George have perfect pitch?
Big time Star he. St Lucia people don't want this. Why Dj in St Lucia don't play he music on Hot FM and day call he number want.........because day don't know country
R.i.p. Mr.Jones. Does anyone know who was the Jone's Boys at this time, i know thats Ron Gaddis on Bass, and Tom on steel. But dont know the rest of them
Nobody will ever come close to the greatness and energy of Possum
One of my favorite songs. The Race Is On. George Jones - one of a kind. Old school country still rocks!
YOU DAMN RIGHT!! Old country!!
Sweet weeping Jesus! Who says country guys can't rock? Simply wow...the man' voice is like its own beast
How deep he can go on call. Way off his normal timbre. The best .
Jones & Haggard the 2 everyone looks up to
never heard him before...I shall change that👍🇸🇪

wow! when George was sober and happy he was unstoppable! Rock stars could take lessons from George here, man is he good!
Love George Jones.... that was the real country music. Guys like him and Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash.
Well put! But don't forget Waylon!
Yep, Waylon is definitely one of the greats, too.
Don't forget Waylon
And umm....Willy. Ya know...the guy who created Farm Aid. And of course Hank Sr. But let's not turn it into a big sausage fest either. Women made real country music too. Patsy, Loretta, Tammy, Dolly, and last but not least Taylor Swift.
he used that voice like a fine instrument. He turned me on to GOOD country music.
WHAT A PERFORMANCE! And what a performer... thanks George!
Like many kids growing up here in the south, I remember listening to George Jones. Rest in peace sir, there will never be another one like the Possum!
the grateful dead brought me here. love the original and the dead's cover
George Jones awesome greatest ever nobody can replace him real country music 🎶🎵 at its best
Ol George ain’t worried much about singin into the mic. Motions to the sound guy about a hearing problem. LoL. Love me some George. Killer bass player layin it DOWN. Great band. Rightfully so. George was King. In my book.
My next band is going to be called "Mustaches and Jumpsuits" and we will be wearing neither.
Damn good music back then, i think the blue jumpsuits are badass. I sport a mustache and i have had it my whole life!
He sounds as good live as in studio
His voice was the absolute greatest in the 80’s. It has the perfect combination of twang and grit.
That's some good ol boys right yhere they don't write 'em like that mo more, that's some bootscooting gold.
2020 still listening.
George will always be the best.
And that folks is how you show the "young uns" how to rock, regardless of genre.
zwyk mn

R.I.P. George ("Possum" "No Show") Jones.
George "The Possum" Jones was the first to record this in 1965. He could rock pretty good back then. White Lightnin' and Who Shot Sam proved that.

A couple of nice boys in the band, nice moustaches
This band is so tight - who is on guitar? Fiddle??
1:00 thanks for the lick mustachioed guitar dude.
They must still be having audio problems because George is still pointing at his ear because he can't hear himself??!!
😊
Indian ranch Webster Mass !!!!!!!?!
Where did he get his opening pitch from? I mean, ...the bass player is kinda goofing around, George is talking to the audience and then, he just starts singing right in the exact key of the arrangement. Did George have perfect pitch?
He's a pro. Been doing it his whole life!
Big time Star he. St Lucia people don't want this. Why Dj in St Lucia don't play he music on Hot FM and day call he number want.........because day don't know country
Band looks like they're about to hop on Apollo 15 after the show.
They were actually already there. They were nice enough to stop by on the way back.
Cousin eddie on drums

R.i.p. Mr.Jones. Does anyone know who was the Jone's Boys at this time, i know thats Ron Gaddis on Bass, and Tom on steel. But dont know the rest of them
