George Jones

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.

On July 30, 1983, Jones landed at No. 1 on the charts with "I Always Get Lucky With You."

When your head gives a song more spins than your local radio station, that song becomes what's called an "earworm."

On July 5, 1980, Jones earned a No. 1 hit with "He Stopped Loving Her Today."

Twelve country artists have received Kennedy Center Honors over the years.

Cheers!

Team Kelly's own country traditionalist sang 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' on Monday night (May 17.)
