NASHVILLE, TN
04/26/2013
I feel as if I have lost a family member. Words cannot convey the talent of George Jones. He exemplified Traditional Country music. George (The Possum) Jones passed away this morning in Vanderbilt Medical Center, where he had been admitted on April 18. The country music world has lost one of the greatest legends of its genre.

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" is the most requested song on country radio stations.
