'George Jones is so good he makes me feel ashamed to be a singer' - Merle Haggard. Thanks for all the nights in with just the two of us George. RIP.

george jones & johnny paychecks voices blende together like buck and don!!!!

There's no other singer who's ever had that George Jones sound. The BEST ever!!

johnny paycheck singing harmony, now thats country

You have to be a total badass to have Johnny Paycheck singing backup!

Could you imagine George Jones and Johnny Paycheck hanging out after gigs....Ohhhh Lord!

I will play your songs till I die.

I'm 17. And I gotta say George jones is true country! Ain't nothin like his music

make us cry George!!!!

There ain't nothing in my pocket but three nickels and a dime........ Legend.

only 14 but I would gladly chose George then the new stuff they have today RIP George we miss you

This is real country, Not that trash they play on the radio today!!!

I had haircuts like that when I was a kid (and when I had hair!)

my god that's a country singer. im 24 years old and I know that he can cut through my soul with the way he sings. he's not just a pop icon with a southern accent. George when it comes to your music I wish I was born many years ago so I could have grown up with it. Cheers!

no one writes country music like this anymore, no one!

That was so kind of George Jones. Poor Johnny Paycheck died of emphysema at only 65. What a hard life he had. His health had been ravaged by cigarettes, drugs, alcohol and his stay in prison.

That's Johnny Paycheck harmonizing with good ole George! Nothing better!

what i always say is' first theres george jones then theres other singers' the best ever music in the world is american country music and george is the best

that voice, that voice, remarkable and cannot be replaced!

Greatest country singer of all time. One of the best voices of any genre ever. RIP George. We're missing you already.

besause the radio thinks we do not what to hear the legends anymore. thank GOD for the inter net we can hear what we love.

The bass player is none other than Johnny Paycheck . We sent a lot of people to Nashville from the Dayton Ohio area. Wayne Hobbs, on steel guitar. Dave Salyer playing lead, Frank Myers, song writer of several songs and lead guitar player, just so many. I played with them. Opened up for George years ago in Indiana. He and I were alone backstage and he looked at me smiled and start sing the Race Is On. awesome. The Adams brothers came from this area and played for Johnny and George.

This is the "REAL" stuff. No one does the music justice like George!!

sad day today Nobody will ever fill your shoes George Jones. Rest In Peace in heaven.

wow, the vocals, perfection---no wonder Sinatra singled Jones out as one of the greats

It doesn't get any better than this. Two legends on the stage at once.

This is when country was good, George is the best ever!!!

george has the best voice in the world! i luv it so much there will never be another possum! go george!!

You were one of the lucky ones. I lived in WV near Wheeling during the early 70's and on one occasion, Tammy had to do the show by herself. Years later, as an entertainer myself, I had the honor of opening for George. I love this man so much.

Ditto what 1964skip1 said....can't get enough of George.

love George jones and Johnny Paycheck when they play together!

Top vocals from George and its just a gleeful added bonus that Paycheck is singing backup!

The great Johnny Paycheck on bass guitar and vocals

wow George and johnny paycheck were so young.

Great song and singer, I love all music with George Jones

This song was on my mind all day long. George was great! Imagine my surprise when Mr. Johnny Paycheck appeared on the left of our screen!!! Johnny as harmony & bass player!!! Right on!!! A classic video and thank you!!!!!!!!!!

Steel: Sonnny Curtis, Fiddle: Charlie Justice, Bass: Johnny Paycheck, Drum: Glen Davis, Electric Guitar: Jerry Starr

Wow, George Jones sounds like he's still here. His voice never changed a bit!

I never knew Donnie Young was so good at harmony.

Wow, I DID NOT KNOW this is Johnny Paycheck. Looking at him in this pre-cocaine video and comparing it to how he looked in his post-cocaine videos SHOULD be enough to keep everyone and I mean EVERYONE off drugs. And what a beautiful voice Paycheck had.

Love this man's singing and music , he's simply the best!

Best country singer ever...

With George, his voice is the greatest instrument in every song he does, and with Waylon it's the beat and the rhythm that lures me in, along with the outlaw style of each song. So not counting the music I would also say that George is by far the greatest country singer or just the greatest singer that ever lived. Thanks for posting

love to hear george sing anything , i like the old ones like this the best.

Thanks for the 411..Grew up with George and Johnny but never seen this before... amazing...Btw Johnny died penniless and is buried in George's family plot

I love REAL Country Music like this, but when I see this video it makes me sad, because I realize that GREATS like George Jones don't have much longer to grace us with this wonderful music. Paycheck is already gone, Jones will be 80 soon. We only have a few legends left, Ray Price, Charley Pride, Merle Haggard, Willie, Little Jimmy and just a few others. When those guys are all gone Country Music dies with them.

LUCKY AUDIENCE!

jones' voice is so gorgeous and hauntingly sad - and then all that technicolor and stunning outfits to behold. this post is a true treasure.

I also wanted to comment on the power of Jones voice- look how far he is from that Microphone! Not to many folks have ever been able to belt a tune like that and make it come out as smooth and perfect as the ol' Possum!

Thanks for sharing.....What a singer,What a Song. Johnny Paycheck might have been a heck raiser, but he was very talented also... I like it when he sings with Jones And Price.

George was one of the best out there. I liked Johnny Paycheck also.

This song kicks ass.

Now this is a drinking song.

Great music and I like their clothes :)

love love LOVE the lyrics to this song

The best country voice of all times.

what can I say, he's the best of the best.......

You're only 15? You have very good taste my young friend. with people like you, this kind of country will never die!!!

Sure gonna miss that possum Rest In Peace Mr George Jones, your music will forever play on.

That's George Jooooones!

I will never forget George the gift you've given and left us Thank You

George Jones is simply amazing. Thanks for posting this. When old George leaves us, a big part of real Country Music goes with him. What an amazing talented man.

THIS IS COUNTRY!!!!!

Damn but this is awe-inspiring!

Great tune by george.

yeah, he reminds me of Sinatra in his world, just having some effortless-seeming quality that no one else seems to match. I can listen to him all day

The bass player is none other than Johnny Paycheck

Two of the biggest hellraisers ever.But boy they could put across a song.

please gon't compare a king with a king they are both great.

Johnny paycheck! Two of my favorite singers singing together

simply a legend. love his very early music.this is country.

my lord,he just drags you into his songs!!ive had thousands a drinks w george &will hav thousands more with him!th black artists called him th white man with soul!we will NEVER SEE another like him!!!!

Eternal Country perfect Ageless, Timeless words that Touch the Soul. RIP George Jones the Best of Old Country. We love you GJ.

Long live the King.

Unbelievable voice

the king of country

RIP George. Love you foreverrrrrr

Sometimes I wish you could give more than five stars.

one of the great performances of all-time-

God he´s so great!

He had a lot of ups and down s but his music was a true treasure for all today in this Business he paved the way!!!!

Right up there with "There's No Justice" and "Where Grass Won't Grow" as the best record from his Musicor period. God bless George Jones! He remains country music's absolute master.

Oh hell yes. George Jones is the best.

First heard George Jones in early 70s....been listening ever since.

Who's going to fill his shoes??? Country is no longer country. We have lost the greatest of all times. Rest In Piece old friend, you will be missed. May God Bless.

Absolutely brill.

sigh, the REAL Country folk are all about gone now We'll miss ya George ;)

This has always been my favorite song by George Jones. I'd like to see another version of him doing it with more hair though. I really feel in love with it in 1967,

Your rite. But i think living the life made his songs have more impact. Hes the Man...

My all time favorite. Real country music has now been silenced.

God that man can sing!

Oh how I will miss him :(

Thanks for posting this great video. Johnny Paycheck sang great harmony... And of course he was a great singer also.

Nobody can sing like George!!

Just great !! Thanx !!

This is a real early one. And a very good one. Sing it George. RIP my friend, you will never be forgotten.

A small secret on Johnny Paycheck.......In the studio he prefered playing his sears silvertone twin p/u guitar.

George Jones, One of Country musics Legends.
