Amazing talent wrapped in an often troubled soul. Hard to pick one song of his that is best, but at the moment, he stopped loving her today seems spot on

Growing up in Alabama, I have any number of George Jones stories that would entertain you.
That being said, he was lucky to live as long as he did.
