Singer George Jones, whose 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' is regarded by many as the greatest country song ever recorded, charted dozens of hits over a long career marked by struggles with alcohol and drugs, broken marriages and, finally, redemption.
Three decades ago, an east Texas singer named George Jones took on an impossibly melodramatic, shamelessly sentimental song about a man who desperately clutched at lost love until his dying breath.
His 1980 recording of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' became one of the most revered songs in country music history.
Singers Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard were known for the poetically crafted lyrics of their country standards. But Jones' anguish-drenched vocals elevated 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' above its soap-opera lyrics in polls of the greatest country music songs..

George Jones, the country music legend whose graceful, evocative voice gave depth to some of the greatest songs in country music -- including 'She Thinks I Still Care,' 'The Grand Tour' and 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' -- has died, according to his public relations firm.
Jones, 81, died Friday at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, the public relations firm said. He had been hospitalized since April 18 with fever and irregular blood pressure.
Jones' career was marked by a tumultuous marriage to Tammy Wynette and bouts with alcoholism that led to occasional concert cancellations. (One of his nicknames was 'No-Show Jones'; after he got clean, he puckishly used 'No-Show' on his license plates.)
But there was no denying his talent. Waylon Jennings once wrote a song that said, 'George might show up flyin' high, if George shows up at all/But he may be, unconsciously, the greatest of them all.'
Famous friends chimed in after learning of his death.
'My friend, the greatest singer of all time, has passed,' Brad Paisley wrote on Twitter. 'To those who knew him, our lives were full. To those of you who don't: discover him now.'
In a statement, Merle Haggard said, 'The world has lost the greatest country singer of all time. Amen.'
Jones, nicknamed 'The Possum' for his resemblance to the animal, was born in 1931

For a guy who sang so many sad songs, George Jones left behind a lot of laughs.
There was more humor than sadness at Jones's funeral Thursday at the Grand Ole Opry House as thousands gathered in Nashville – some arriving hours before sunrise –to pay their respects to the man whose voice has defined country music for more than half a century.
Friend after friend related stories of Jones' kindness, his love for his widow, Nancy, who's credited with helping him survive his personal demons later in life, and the funny little moments that will stick with them always.
Barbara Mandrell remembered the kindnesses he gave a scared 13-year-old girl just getting her start in the business. Former first lady Laura Bush remembered dumping quarter after quarter into the jukebox to hear 'The Race Is On.' Wynonna Judd remembered his perfect hair and his friendship. And Vince Gill remembered the man who gave him the nickname 'Sweet Pea,' a moniker he wasn't sure he liked at first but now treasures.
'The great thing is every time someone calls me Sweet Pea, I'll get to think about him,' Gill said before earning a standing ovation for his rendition of 'Go Rest High on That Mountain' with Patty Loveless.
The nearly three-hour memorial was attended by several major country stars and political figures. Nancy Jones sat flanked by Bush and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yea
