JIM REEVES - DEAR HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE

JIM REEVES was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. Reeves died in the crash of his private airplane. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame.

Great arrangement with The Anita Kerr singers on backing vocals and the great Floyd Cramer on piano! And what a singer Jim was!
