One of country music’s giants, George Jones, is bringing his unparalleled voice to The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Saturday, February 9 at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale on Thursday, December 13, 2012. With a run of songs extending from the 1950s into the 21st century, Jones has had a whopping 143 Top 40 country hits and is frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. He was a co-writer on his first chart hit, 1955’s “Why Baby Why,” and in the ‘60s recorded hundreds of songs including the number one classics “Tender Years,” “She Thinks I Still Care,” “Walk Through This World With Me” as well as more ephemeral fare like “Love Bug.” Jones paired up with producer Billy Sherrill in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and their work together exemplified the lusciously string-drenched style known as “country-politan.” In the years that followed, he racked up hit after iconic hit, including “A Good Year for the Roses,” “The Grand Tour,” “I Always Get Lucky With You” and “If Drinkin’ Don’t Kill Me (Her Memory Will).” One 1980s smash in particular, “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” became widely regarded as the greatest country single of all time. He has received the four highest honors that can be granted to anyone in his line of work, starting with his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992. A decade later, the president bestowed the National Medal of Arts upon him, and he was saluted by the Kennedy Center Honors in 2008. In early 2012, Jones was presented another top honor as he received the Grammy’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Approximately 56 years after being named the Most Promising New Country Vocalist of 1956, Jones still lives out that promise with a regular touring routine. Audiences flock to hear the voice that is country’s most indescribable as well as, by acclamation, its finest.

In order to understand why the Holocaust happened, it is vital to study the 1920’s and 1930’s, the years when the Holocaust could have been prevented. Join us for an intimate discussion with Andrew Nagorski, author of Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power and Arthur Berger, Senior Advisor at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, for a compelling glimpse of that period from the perspective of the fascinating array of Americans who lived and worked in Berlin during Hitler's rise to power. Accompanied by rarely seen archival footage from the Museum's collections, this eye-opening account offers a totally new perspective not only on what was known, but also on what actions might have been taken to stop Germany’s domination of Europe and, ultimately, the Holocaust.Delray Beach International Tennis Championships
