Huge loss for many of us old school country fans.:gah:
So many great hits over his career, too many to name, but here's a good one that still fits in today:

So many great songs. I am not even close to being a C&W music person, but his songs I loved.

Are the Good Times really over for Good?

Hard to believe he's gone. Country Music just isn't the same as it use to be. The sound has changed. Heck, even the old Texas Two Step looks different.

Yup, so true. I think when the Possum sang "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" he wasn't expecting the country singers of today. I miss the days when I was a kid riding in the pickup with my dad listening to AM country stations -- Merle, Conway Twitty, Charlie Pride, George Jones, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Waylon and Willie and the boys...
