Jim Reeves - Blue Side Of Lonesome

Jim Reeves - Blue Side Of Lonesome

James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 -- July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter, very popular until today, record charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, who, since the end of the 1950s, is well-known for being a practitioner of the new established, so-called Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Known as Gentleman Jim, his songs continued to score the charts for years after his untimely death. Jim died at age 40 in a private airplane crash. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame.

My dad was a huge fan of gentlemen Jim. Today is my dad's death anniversary and I am remembering him listening to this song. RIP Jim and my dad!

In July 1964 I was just waking up in a hotel in Taiwan. I turned the radio and the first thing I heard was of Jim Reeves dying in a plane crash. I thought no not another great performer dying in a plane crash. I had met Jim Reeves a few times at his performances in Indiana. What a loss to his family and the world. Thanks for the video.

There isn't a singer today that even comes close to Jim Reeves. The man's voice is incredibly smooth and mellow. Surely does make today's country music pure garbage.
