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.

He Stopped Loving Her Today Lyrics
George Jones
He said Ill love you til I die
She told him youll forget in time
As the years went slowly by
She still prayed upon his mind
He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then
He still loved her through it all
Hoping shed come back again
Kept some letters by his bed
Dated 1962
He had underlined in red
Every single I love you
I went to see him just today
Oh but I didnt see no tears
All dressed up to go away
First time Id seen him smile in years
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon theyll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
Ya know she came to see him one last time
Oh, we all wondered if she would
And it kept running through my mind
This time hes over her for good
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon theyll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
