''He Stopped Loving Her Today'' is a song by Country Music artist George Jones . It was a single on the album "''I Am What I Am''". The song was released in 1980 , and was Jones's first #1 single in 6 years. The melancholy song was written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman. It is about a man who "said I'll love her til I die." After she abandons him, he does indeed love her throughout the rest of his life. Only his death ended his feelings for her. It was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at CBS Studio B. The recording process was lengthy. George Jones was frequently intoxicated, and indicated in an interview that the 4 spoken lines of the song had to be recorded over and over because he could not speak without slurring his words. Jones credits the song with reviving his flagging career, stating that "a four-decade career had been salvaged by a three-minute song." George Jones was a Grammy Award for Best Male Country Performance in 1980 . The Academy Of Country Music awarded the song the titles of "Single of the Year" and "Song of the Year" in 1980 . It also became the Country Music Association 's Song of the Year in both 1980 and 1981 . This was only the second time that the same song won this honor two years in a row. (The first instance was the song "Easy Loving", sung by Freddie Hart .) EXTERNAL LINKS |
