Though George Jones personal and private life was a made for TV drama mini series, his voice was most recognizable in country music that truly inspired generations to come, the artists we listen to today from Brad Paisley, Jamey Johnson, Kellie Pickler, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton,Jake Owen, Chris Young to name among others. George's southern twang was a perfect fit of honky tonk, rebelion and charm that was undeniably eye catching. It was the realness of George audiences were connected with and the likeliness he had with others. A true entertainer and sometimes unreliable though was dubbed the possum that stuck with him through out the course of his career. Under neath his exterior George Jones was a man who could be understood, not complex by any means. Jones will be greatly missed in country music and leaves behind several memories we can count.
The country music industry has lost a true icon and legend.
