We'd just go to church and sing. My dad would get me and my sister Doris, and we would sing together. I sung the harmony, and my sister Doris took the lead. George Jones churchdaddoris Change image and share on social
I miss all of my old friends who have passed away. Sometimes you just don't understand why they were taken so soon. I loved and miss Johnny Cash. I miss my old buddy Johnny Paycheck, who happens to be buried in an area of the cemetery that I bought for my family. George Jones areabuddybury share on social
Country fans need to support country music by buying albums and concert tickets for traditional artists or the music will just fade away. And that would be really sad. George Jones albumartistbuy Change image and share on social
There were a lot of songs during my MCA years that I thought should have been singles but were not. You can't worry about what wasn't - I was very lucky to have as many hits as I had. George Jones hitlotlucky Change image and share on social
There was no such thing as production at Starday. We'd go in with the band, we'd go over the song, I'd look over and tell the steel player to take a break or kick it off, and I'd get the fiddle to play a turnaround in the middle. George Jones bandbreakfiddle share on social
Roy Acuff was a big hero for me, and I was so sad when he passed. It's hard as you get older to lose your friends and family. George Jones acuffbigfamily Change image and share on social
I loved Roy Acuff with all my heart, and I never dreamed I'd be able to meet him or see him onstage, or especially become good friends with him. For all this to happen, it's hard to explain what a dream this is when you love something as much as I love traditional country music. George Jones acuffcountrydream share on social
When you don't act right to your family and friends, that's bad, but they also have the opportunity to experience the 'good' side as well. Disappointing the fans is an entirely different thing because the fans love your music and save up money to see you in concert. George Jones actbadconcert share on social
I just wanted to sing, in church or wherever. George Jones churchsingwant Change image and share on social
