George Jones

The country music legend lived like a Southern gentleman.

Cheers!

On April 13, 1959, Jones earned his first No. 1 single.

Do you have a favorite?

Cheers, y'all!

For most of his early life, Jones was a gifted artist with a drinking problem and self-destructive bent, but there's nothing like the love of a good woman to turn a guy around.

On March 4, 1983, Jones wed Nancy Sepulvado at his sister's house in Woodville, Texas.

You know the old saying "You never get a second chance to make a first impression"? Well, that's just as true in music as it is in life!

Do you know the nicknames of your favorite country stars?
