George Jones

These country couples know the meaning of "'til death do us part."

It was probably NOT the way he would have wanted to spend his birthday.

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

The country music legend lived like a Southern gentleman.

It took a terrifying drunk driving accident to make the legend get sober.

Do you know the nicknames of your favorite country stars?

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.

He knew he would not live to see them born.

The song's been around for decades.
