By most accounts, George Jones is the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties. Only Eddy Arnold had more Top Ten hits, and Jones always stayed closer to the roots of hardcore country. Jones was born and raised in east Texas, near the city of Beaumont.

A House Without Love Lyrics
George Jones
For years we both have lived on pride dear and we agree that love is gone
Why oh why do we keep tryin' a house without love is not a home
The love light in your eyes has faded and I'm contented just to roam
We slaved to gain a worthless treasure a house without love is not a home
[ steel ]
No matter where our footsteps wander I know we'll both be all alone
With the pride that came between us a house without love is not a home
The simple things have gone forever we wanted wealth to call our own
Now we've reached the hour of parting a house without love is not a home
