George Jones Lives to tell it all and he does
From the Spartanburg (SC) Herald Journal
The title of George Jones' 1996 autobiography says it all: "I Lived to Tell It All."
For years, people close to him wondered whether he'd live to see the end of the day much less live to see his music career reach the 50-year milestone.
But earlier this month, Jones was on hand for a star-studded salute in his honor, which will be broadcast Thanksgiving night on
PBS.
The program, "George Jones: 50 Years of Hits," includes admirers ranging from Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and Connie Smith to Harry Connick Jr., Trick Pony and Uncle Kracker.
During his career, Jones has charted more singles than any other artist in any format in the history of popular music.
