Yep. It stands the test of time. George was my dad's favorite singer and this was his favorite song. My dad died three years ago. This song was so big that the Country Music Association named it Song of the Year two years in a row. 1980 and 1981. IDK if that had ever happened before or not.

Brad, you are one of many people and reactors who actually realized what the song was about....in regards to the fact that he died (probably of a broken heart, as you mentioned). Also, my understanding and what I've read is that George did not want to record this song when his management and record label presented it to him, because he thought it was too sad and maudlin, and people wouldn't want to hear a song like that. Thanks so much for your reaction. I really enjoyed it!

Yes. I saw an interview with George in which he said he initially didn’t want to do the song because he said it was so_____ depressing no one would buy it. Also it took a year or so to get the studio version of the song done because George was in such a bad way at the time with his own personal demons and such.

I have listened to Country and Western Music for well over the last fifty years and there is ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY NO SONG quite like this particular melody and, concurrently there is ABSOLUTELY AND POSITIVELY NO PERFORMER who can sing this particular song quite like George Jones.

I'm a big prog, rock, (old school)metal, blues fan. I seem to really like a lot of 60's and 70's country, and often say after 1980 country just isn't as good... This song is brutally honest, brutally human, and delivered so beautifully... The shaky guitar lick, just after "i went to see him just today" ... you don't realise it at the time, but it's kind of preparing you for what's coming... Then the crescendo of strings after "he stopped loving her today" like the rush of emotion of a promise fulfilled, but in the saddest possible way. It is so subtly obvious "He said I'll love you til I die...... he stopped loving her today" The writing, arrangement, execution are stunning... George can bring in his beautiful, emotive, human vocal, and be genuine... because he hated the song, and I think that's because he relayed with it too closely..... Tammy.... I wonder if the producer really did get Tammy to come and get George to sing it.... Best ever is always hard, but sh!t, it is beautiful, devastating, honest and human.... what more can you ask?

It is a HUGE HELL YES IT HOLDS UP today, tomorrow and a hundred years from now it will always hold up period end of story.

Does this song hold up? Is the Pope Catholic? I watched someone react to this and he had a HUGE grin on his face and he said, "That's great! He finally got over her. He loved her but sometimes you just got to get over someone and move on." I wanted to bang my head against the wall. Country music songs tell stories and the story is the entire point so if you miss the story there really is no point and this guy totally missed it. I was glad that you understood that the way he got over her was because he died. I loved when you said that a great song would always hold up and I think it's also true that a great singer always holds up and George Jones was a great singer. I live in Nashville and I had the privilege of going to see him when he was in concert at the Ryman Auditorium and when he first came out on stage he said, "I don't have a lot of smoke and mirrors. I just sing." Some guy from the back yelled at him, "That's why we came George. Just to hear you sing." I think sometimes people use a lot of pyrotechnics and dancing girls to hide the fact that their singing is not quite up to par. Jones had no need for any these distractions because his delivery of the songs was all the audience wanted.

Of course it doesn't hold up against Jones' other output. It took a year to record in hundreds of takes because his voice was in horrible shape. Jones hated it.The song itself was origially written as an ironic satire of sad country songs. Billy Sherill made him do it because he knew they would make a shit ton of money. The vocals are great because George Jones is singing them, but compared to his earlier (and a few later) great performances it's utterly average by his standards.
