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.

Developing My Pictures Lyrics
George Jones
I'm developing my pictures, my mind's my darkroom.
The proofs I'm searching for will be made clear soon.
I'm developing my picture of the girl I admire.
Soon I will see you, know you as you really are.
I'm told you wear two faces to hide things from me.
I've heard you've spoken very unkind words of me.
I don't believe hearsay, and take what I see.
But I've got to believe you love me.
I'm developing my pictures, my mind's my darkroom.
The proofs I'm searching for will be made clear soon.
I'm developing my picture of the girl I admire.
For I want to see you and know you as you really are.
Yes, I want to see you and know you as you really are...
