Faron Young~ "He Stopped Loving Her Today"



Faron Young did a cover of the classic George Jones song?

Apparently so, because it shocked even me!

UPDATE: I managed to find more info on this track. It was a track on a little-heard 1982 album of his for the 51 West label entitled "Black Tie Country".

Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars.

Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist.

Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years.

He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
