Even though George was 81, this news floored me!...Definitely The Supreme genuine down to earth country vocalist ...no one like him...he will be truly misssed! ..and like MH said, He Stopped Loving Her Today is incredibly moving for me. His vocal phrasing and sound on the chorus is the ultimate in country singing...you can't beat traditional country! He could also master a gospel song the way Elvis did!
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
