Nobody will ever replace Jim Reenes. He died in 1964, it now 2021 and I still prefer his singing to anybody else. No new commer can touch him. His musi today is still golden.
Jim Reeves is excellent. Him, Moon Mullican, Hank Williams and Jerry Lee Lewis are among the best country singers of their era. I never heard him do Tennesee Waltz until now and he could have recorded such a great version.
It's almost the same for me accept I was born in 1958 but I do remember we had a big valve set radiogram which we played all our records on at rpm speeds of 16, 33, 45 and 78. Good memories I believe!!!!
What a Gentleman Jim is he brings back memories of my early years sad he passed away so early in life my Friend God Bless Jimxx from Inverness Scotland liked and shared Thanks for posting x
not exactly my kind of music but you have to admire his flawless vocals....i'm more of a Roy Orbison fan but in my opinion they are two of the greatest singers in the modern era, absolutely faultless.
Jim was a class act. He didn't need a lot of unnecessary theatrics, such as fireworks, smoke machines, and laser lights, to hold an audience's attention. Pure talent is what did the job. Also, entertainers knew how to dress back in the day. Now days, they dress like bums.
During the time when Jim Reeves reigned as a popular county singer, everyone dressed so decent their dress code was really beautiful. These days women are half clad and actually they look indecent and one can't respect them
@hmaltravers Yes I agree with you with proper instrumental backings all you have to do today be able to sing into a microphone and sound like a robot and you have a hit record. Today’s music is rubbish. And extracts are taken from other musicians recordings and added to their recordings. Jim Reeves was one of a kind and not surprisingly people today still like his music!!
Put the live sound back on. Look at the comments-- you're fooling people into thinking these songs are live, when they're just the recorded versions you put on these video clips. Fix it, or take it down!
dat is pas muziek spelen en zingen nog nooit geevenaard alles rustig en toch vlot jammer dat hij op een rot manier om het leven kwam niet door drugs of drank en netjes geleefd ik hoop dat het boven goed is?????? keesd. uit schiedam met de vrouw ans
