“I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of one of my all time heroes, George Jones. Georges' music was real and he was able to touch thousands through his songs. Not only was he a great singer, but he also had the ability to make you relate to every one of his songs, no matter who you are. He and his music will remain timeless in the world of country music. My thoughts and prayers are with his family through this difficult time.” WorldRealCountryMatterAbleSongDifficultPrayerAbilityHeroWho You AreSingersPassingPassingsAll TimeRelateTimelessMy ThoughtsDifficult TimesSaddenedThoughts And PrayersGeorge Jones Author:Easton Corbin
“People talk about Frank Sinatra all the time - and they should talk about Frank - but he had the greatest arrangers. They worked for him in a different kind of way than they worked for other people. They gave him arrangements that are just sublime on every level. And he, of course, could match that because he had this ability to get inside of the song in a sort of a conversational way. Frank sang to you, not at you, like so many pop singers today. Even singers of standards.” PeopleWayShouldKindDifferentTodaySongCoursesAbilityLevelsStandardsPopsSingersDifferent KindsFrankArrangementsSublime Author:Bob Dylan
