It’s not often that a funeral takes place at the Grand Ole Opry, or is televised live and loaded with guest performers paying musical tribute — but George Jones was no ordinary country star. The seminal genre performer, who died last Friday, is being honored at a funeral service that is scheduled to celebrate his influence, music and legacy by including performances by Brad Paisley, Charlie Daniels, the Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna Judd, Alan Jackson and many others.

The music world has lost one of its true icons. There will never be another George Jones as long as there is music.

A real tribute for George this morning. He was my late husbands favorite
and now maybe he can hear George sing again.!! Years ago we were on
a trip to Panama City, Fla. and he and the band were doing a large
affair outside. It was a very special time for us; however a couple with
us do NOT like country music
