I know I've mused about this song in this space before, but it deserves another mention. And since I heard the song today it's going to get one...
'Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" has always been my favorite George Jones song; it remains so even now, after I've heard much more of his earlier work. There's something especially poignant about that song now, considering of all the singers who were alive in 1985 when it was released, only two of them remain. As poignant as the song is now, though, the video -- which I only saw recently -- takes it to a whole new level. I am not ashamed to admit it brought tears to my eyes. It was a thing of sheer beauty.
