George Jones first hit the charts in the 1950's. In April
1999, he celebrated the 40th Anniversary of his first
Number One record, White Lightning. It was also the year
that Jones won his second Grammy as Best Male Country
Vocalist for his performance on the single "Choices." His
only previous Grammy was in 1981 for his performance of "He
Stopped Loving Her Today."
Jones' Gold-selling 1999 COLD HARD TRUTH CD reminded fans
and critics alike why he's considered "the greatest living
country singer." "Choices," the first single from that
album marked his 164th charted record. The Keith Stegall
produced project earned Jones some of the best reviews of
his already illustrious career and ensured his place in the
new millennium of country music.
Review about George Jones My Dad... | Reviewer: Mike
------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones
My dad's health started failing on the 3 month anniversary of my mother's passing away..no medicine on earth could heal his broken heart..I won't say Dad stopped loving Mom on October 31 '09..but he did leave us so he could be with her until eternity comes. Thank you George Jones for one of the greatest love songs of all time.
It always makes me sad. | Reviewer: Irish
------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones
In 1962, my boyfriend was an engineer on a tanker on the high seas, and I wrote to him every day, I was 17, he was 21. Then his father (an alcoholic) died, as and my lad came home, and didn't go back to sea again, we married that autumn, and had 6 children over the years, but the alcoholism that had plagued his family also overcame him, and he became a totally different man Eventually I lost all respect for him, and after 17 years, I couldn't take any more, and with 6 children to look after, we split up, and eventually got divorced. After that, he did "go half crazy now and then"
In time I found someone else, and remarried, but 20 years later, at one of our daughters weddings, my ex declared that he still loved me. He had become a sad figure by then and died some time later. I did go to see him one last time. I know he kept those letters from his time at sea in 1962, and regretted what he had lost through his drinking. I always think of him when I hear this song, and wonder what could have been otherwise. Life can be very sad. Irish.
I Know The Feeling | Reviewer: Rick
------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones
I have found my high school sweetheart after 33 years. We are both married and sharing what we've been doing through the years. I know without a doubt she is the only one I ever loved, and I will until I die too. I always related to this song, I've seen George Jones sing it in person twice. This is good classic country music at its best. I know the feeling!!
I have tried to step up to the wall 4 times and each time I have stopped short dropped to my knees and cried. Camp Eagle, Fire base Evens, and 3 tours have left me with memories of my fallen friends. Just the words and Georges voice bring me to tears each time I here him sing 50,000 names. His music and the wall will for ever live in me. I am going back to the wall in December with my last surviving crew chief and door gunner. We are going to try and trace the names of every one we flew with. Hopefully this song will give me the strength to take those last few steps. Thank you George.
I left these lyrics for my wife today | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones
I left these lyrics for my wife to read on the windshield of her car today. She has left me and taken the stepdaughter I love with her. I don't desrve this or the pain I have felt for the past 4 months. I want her to know both that I'll love her until the day I die and that she's hurting me terribly. I have now joined the ranks of the Prozac nation. I never thought it possible for me to be so sad that I can't cope without medication.
He Stopped Loving Her Today | Reviewer: nancy ann
------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones
I love this song! I also have a story that makes me identify with this song. I have been in love with this man since I met him in 1984. We broke up and I moved away eight years ago. I was surprised that he found me, and we have started seeing each other again recently. I think that we will both love each other till the day we die!
Remembering those Honky Tonk Angels | Reviewer: Don Deaton
------ About the song Bartender's Blues performed by George Jones
I assume that George Jones has never been a bar tender, nor have I. But the lyrics to the chorus of Bartender's Blues tells a story that I think we've all lived. "I need 4 walls around me to hold my life, to keep me from going astray. And a honky tonk angel to hold me tight and keep me from slipping away." Apart from the familiar setting of the song, Georges voice and presentation makes the scene come alive and really makes the memories and tears flow.
This song has always reminded me of my dad. He loved his first love until the day he died. The last few words out of his mouth were, "I love you, Ginny". The only twist is that she loved him back for over 60 years. This is one of my favorite songs when we all go out and sing Kareoke because I get another chance to say goodbye to dear old, hopeless romantic, Dad.
Kudos to him. He raised 8 sons who are all hopeless romantics and still loving their first loves til they die.
Thanks for the memories, George.
I have always loved this song but it now breaks my heart to hear it. My story is a little different from the song but it ties is to what is currently occuring in my life. Through the years me and my high school sweetheart have tried to make things work but his alcoholism always got in the way. We recently tried once again but as always it did not work. Although he had many problems this past weekend he let the bottle get the best of him. He got drunk and shot himself. I never meant to hurt him, would have done anything to save him but I could not live with the drinking. I will always love him, be haunted by the past and yes I will go to see him one last time.
Like any great song... | Reviewer: Bobaloo
------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones
this one captures a feeling. It's up to the listener to decide what that feeling really means. He loved her until the day he died. That's how true love is. Real love isn't a bunch of fluff. It takes strength and courage.
I think maybe some women would hear this song and decide not to wait to long to return the love of a strong man.
But yes, it's a heartbreak that in this case he went to his grave with his love unreturned.
Missing the Point | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones
You all have missed the point of the song. Yes he loved her and yes he died loving her. However the message in the song is it is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. I know the pain of losing someone but let me tell you pain only hurts for a little while. You will always have a piece of that special someone in your heart, but you'll find someone else that will love, and respect and cherish you just as much as you do them. I promise.

------ About the song Choices performed by George Jones
i live my life by this song ..it hits home with me and my addiction..."i guess im paying for the things that i have done..if i could go back o lord knows id run"...ive lost a lot of good friends by the choices they have made
I love this song. It has been a fear of mine, for years. I had the best woman a man could ever want and I blew it. See, I loved her so much and my biggest fear was she would leave me one day, and I wouldn't be able to withstand the pain of losing her. So I did stupid things, like mistreat her and hurt her. Anything to keep up the tough image, so as not to let my heart get hurt like that. Now my biggest fear has come true, and she has left our home. She was the heart and soul of me, and also of our home. Everyone that knows her loves her, but nobody will ever love her like I do. I just want her to come back home. I told her about this song years ago, and of my fear that it would be us. Now I'm afraid my biggest fear has come true.
I absolutely love this song. I play it every Friday to my Jr. High Special Education class. We get up and dance and start our day off with bigs grins all around. I'm hoping they really don't get all the lyrics but just the good time beat.
It only takes a couple seconds to say Hello but forever to say Goodbye I do believe. No words can explain how I felt for her or what I am feeling now. I love her with all my heart. I will love her more then she’ll ever know. I feel for this song along w/ many others! I hope I can find a way in life without her. It’s been 57 days and I still cannot stop crying. How do people move on is my question?
As I write this my X wife is in the Cayman Islands with another man...This is the woman I love with all my heart and at this point I hurt so bad I dont know what Im going to do...Up until this point I always wanted to make things right and be a family again with our two wonderful children...But she told me the other day she had someone new that loved her very much. And I fell to pieces.
So yesterday and today I have been singing the chorus to this song over and over.
Man it hurts so bad...
This song takes a piece of my heart each time I hear it..me and my boyfriend have been together since I was in high school we have three babys and all we kept doing was arguing in front of them.. So we seperated.. Now I'm in a relationship with someone and I'm having his child, my heart aches for him but I'm in too deep with the other one.. My love stands beside me and tells me he will love me till the day he takes his last breath, and he means it. I wish we could make it work because I feel the same way bout him.. He is the love of my life.. I guess I have to find my way back into his arms. Its a beautiful song but I don't want either one of us to have to go threw the pain george was singing about..
it reminds me of myself...and i want it to end like this | Reviewer: a gupta
------ About the song He Stopped Loving Her Today performed by George Jones
I know how it feels to love someone who is over it. Love, want her back, and yet know deep down that that's not going to happen. But I guess loving is not always about winning band reciprocation. Sometimes it is just about giving, being there just in case she needs me.
The first line of this song are the exact words I said to her when see went away. 5 years ago. After a 5 year relationship. So I have completed a decade of loving her. I just wish what I said to her is proved right. Only, sometimes I hope my life is not too long. The last 5 years have been hell.
She is with someone else now. Getting married pretty soon I hear. And i wish her all the best.

Brought a tear | Reviewer: Viet vet
------ About the song 50000 Names performed by George Jones
As a Vietnam veteran who knew some of those 58,000, it brought a tear. I probably think more about that war now than I did soon after it.
When people my age die, I think about how much was taken from those who died young; what they might have been or what they might have done, but killed in what turned out be for very little.
