The Timeless Heartbreak of “He Stopped Loving Her Today”

Written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putman, “He Stopped Loving Her Today” tells the sorrowful story of a man who never stopped loving the woman who left him. He kept mementos of their love, holding onto the hope she might return. The heartbreaking twist is revealed when she finally does—but only for his funeral, as he has passed away.

When George Jones released the song in 1980, his career slumped for six years, as noted by Saving Country Music. Critics doubted he’d ever reclaim his former glory. However, the song became an instant success, reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. It also earned Jones the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance, reviving his career and securing the song’s place in country music history.
