There are a few things in this world that can truly pull at your heartstrings…Josh Turner singing George Jones is definitely one of them.

A Classically Heart-Wrenching Tune

“He Stopped Loving Her Today” was released in 1980 by Jones at one of the lowest points of not only his career but his life as a whole. The Grammy-winning song tells the heartbreaking story of a man’s unwavering devotion for his ex that was only interrupted by his death.

Most Shy Away

Despite it being one of the greatest country songs of all time, most people shy away from the tune. Heck, even the Possum himself almost didn’t record the song. But he did, and it ended up being one of the many songs he is remembered for today.

Turner Takes It On

Singing undoubtedly one of the saddest songs to ever hit the airwaves, Josh Turner powerfully delivered a heartbreaking rendition of George Jones’ iconic “He Stopped Loving Her Today.” Known for taking a heart-wrenching approach to his performances, Turner channels the emotion of the late country music icon, leaving not a single dry eye left in the audience.
