From the birth of bluegrass to the beginning of Johnny and June’s love story, the show has helped shape the course of country music history. The Opry has been celebrating it’s centennial year throughout 2025, with special concerts, tributes, and televsion specials.
“He Stopped Loving Her Today” Voted As The Opry’s All-Time Greatest Song
As part of the milestone year, Opry Entertainment asked fans to nominate and vote for their favorite country song to be included in what would become Opry’s Greatest Country Songs list.
The top song was announced during a special show on Friday, November 28th, exactly 100 years since the day the Grand Ole Opry was founded. “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones was officially named the Opry’s All-Time Greatest Song. The emotional tune has been widely regarded as one of the best in country music for many years.
Country music icon George Jones released “He Stopped Loving Her Today” in 1980 as the lead single from his album I Am What I Am. The song won Jones Grammy, CMA, and ACM Awards, and led to the renewel of his recording contracts with CBS Records.
With such prestige, few artists have covered the song. Alan Jackson gave an emotional rendition at George Jones’ funeral in 2013, Garth Brooks performed it for the Opry 100 televised special in March, and most recently, Vince Gill showcased it on the Opry’s 100th birthday.

Gill, who was recently celebrated as the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award reciptient, has one of the most recognizable voices in country music. As an esteemed member of the Opry for 30 years, he was the perfect person to commemorate the achievement on George Jones’ behalf.
Gill admitted that he had only ever sung “He Stopped Loving Her Today” live once before, and that was three hours prior at sound check. A seasoned professional, he delivered the song beautifully.
