Last Friday, hundreds of singers from all genres of music performed a tribute to George Jones at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena.  The concert was titled, "Playin' Possum:  The Final No Show Tribute" and was originally scheduled as his final concert before he planned to retire.  After he passed on April 26 at age 81, they changed the event into a memorial for the legendary singer.

George Jones was an unforgettable country music performer, so it's fitting that his farewell concert lineup at Bridgestone Arena is, well, unforgettable. The full performer list has been revealed, and it's chock full of some of today's most influential acts, as well as yesterday's favorites.

We lost the Possum, George Jones -- who is considered one of the greatest country singers ever, if not the greatest country singer ever -- earlier this year. Of course, the 2013 CMA Awards paid tribute to the legend, with Alan Jackson and George Strait performing a duet of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is Jones' most recognizable and beloved song.

Two corn mazes within driving distance of Nashville are paying tribute to the Possum this fall. Fans can get lost inside the likeness of country legend George Jones during Halloween season. Overhead images of both reveal an older singer in his classic performance-wear and eyeglasses.

If George Jones were still alive, he'd likely be mighty pleased to see the talented roster for his farewell concert.

Had George Jones not passed away nearly four months ago, he'd be gushing over his new great-grandchildren this week. The dark-haired boy and girl twins were born to the legend's granddaughter, Jennifer Stultz, on Aug. 9, and they received a special present from the Possum.

George Jones will forever be an icon in country music. And now, with the release of 'God's Country: George Jones And Friends,' fans will be able to remember the singer in a very special way.

A man and his best friend -- reunited!

The country music community has been grieving since George Jones died in April. To help soften the blow -- and perhaps to cope with his feelings -- Randy Travis dedicated a new song called 'Tonight I'm Playing Possum' to a man many call the greatest country singer of all time. Joe Nichols joins Travis on this powerful duet.

The life story of one of country music's most celebrated singers is going to be told in a feature film. George Jones and his wife Nancy were working with a screenwriter in the years leading up to the legend's death. The biopic has the singer's blessing, and now has a production company to produce it.

Beloved country star George Jones will forever be remembered as Possum, thanks to Randy Travis, who debuted a deeply moving song in tribute to the iconic singer, appropriately titled 'Tonight I'm Playin' Possum.'

After 16 years of being on the B105 morning show, many listeners have become friends.  I always appreciate my friend's suggestions and do my best to get your favorites on the air when I can.  The same goes for suggestions for the Solid Gold Pick of the Week.  This week's video is a duet with Lorrie Morgan and George Jones and was requested by Ray Z.
