George Glenn Jones, an American performer, singer, and songwriter, was born on September 12th, 1931.
His several successful songs, such as the well-known “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” as well as his unique voice and phrasing helped him become famous.
During his latter two decades of life, Jones received numerous accolades for being the top country performer right now.
On September 12, 1931, George Glenn Jones was born in Saratoga, Texas. He was raised with his brother and five sisters in Colmesneil, Texas, in the Big Thicket area of southeast Texas.
According to Bill Malone, an expert on country music, within the two or three minutes that a song takes up, Jones immerses himself so thoroughly in the lyrics and the spirit of a song that “the listener can scarcely avoid getting similarly engrossed.”
Pappy Daily and Musicor Records reached an agreement on a new contract in 1964. Jones only achieved one number one for the rest of the 1960s (‘Walk Through This World With Me’ in 1967), but he almost controlled the country music charts the entire time.
Jones, one of the best harmony singers in country music, has a long career and has released a lot of duets. Despite the fact that his songs with Tammy Wynette are his most well-known, Jones claimed in his memoirs that he considered his duets with Melba Montgomery to be his best.
