George Jones

Though the crash nearly cost Jones his life, it turned out to be a gift in disguise.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 Christmas Day bombing in Nashville were factors in the closure.

Team Kelly's own country traditionalist sang 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' on Monday night (May 17.)

Country music has long lent itself to harmonizing and verse-swapping duos.

They struck it rich, but they never abandoned their roots.

Drop a quarter in the jukebox and listen to this lineup.

The country music legend lived like a Southern gentleman.

Cheers, y'all!

On Sept. 12, 1994, Jones had triple bypass surgery, on his 63rd birthday, at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tenn.

On Aug. 31, 1974, Jones earned a No. 1 hit with his song "The Grand Tour," which was the title track of his 41st studio album.
