Born September 12, 1931, George Jones is considered one of the most important and influential singers in the history of American popular music, and Nashville’s biggest stars are taking the news hard.

Country stars like Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Faith Hill expressed their condolences to the entire Jones family, but especially to Nancy, his wife of 30 years. Although everyone has their own memories about Jones and his iconic list of hits, several country stars expressed their feelings that Jones was the greatest country music singer of all time.

Join Ed Dailey this Sunday from 7am to 10am as the Legends of Country Show and KORD present a three hour tribute to the Possum.
