In a moment of curiosity I googled "The Greatest Country Song".

Frankly I am quite surprised at the answer that popped up, and I vehemently disagree with the results.

I think Marty Stewart's contribution to, and the presentation of Ken Burns "Country Music Documentary" may have played a part in the results.

The "Greatest Country Song", was George Jones "He Stopped Loving Her Today", with Dolly Parton's "Jolene" in second place.

I can accept that "Jolene", might deserve recognition but I think "Crazy" should have been listed instead as it is an established Jukebox favorite.

I don't at all agree with George Jones "He Stopped Loving Her Today" as the greatest country song, although the verses are very touching.

I saw Jones live with Tammy Wynette at the Bushnell Auditorium in Hartford Connecticut, and his performance was mediocre at best. They were obviously fighting at the time.

I never really paid attention to the song as I find Jones voice kind of rough, and not at all as smooth and melodious as Jim Reeves.

I recently saw the AI generated version of Jones song and it was quite well done in my view. Better than the original in sound with great visuals.

I can think of many deserving songs. Naturally many of them are Jim's.

I welcome opposing views and opinions, always with an open mind.
