“J is for Jones, George. This song was released as a single in April 1989 under this title but later Sony was forced to change the title after Hanna-Barbera threatened to sue. The title was subsequently changed to The King Is Gone (So Are You). Naturally, I prefer the original title. I've read some accounts where people think this is beneath the stature of an artist like Jones. The Possum always had a fine sense of humor and it does continue two grand subjects of country music: drinking and heart break.”
