Biography

Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as ‘Gentleman Jim’, was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India.

His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

Added 01: One interesting fact was that he recorded an album in Afrikaans for Afrikaners in South Africa. How do I know? I bought the LP many years ago.

    This is "Real Country" not that country copy cat songs we hear today. What ever happened to be your own voice, not someone else's . The new artists , while having very good voices tend to mimic someone else. Warbling in excess is NOT Country! Jim Reeves was a true Classic. Makes your Heart Melt!!!!!!

    The very best of classic country including 'Gentleman' Jim can be found in this group Country from the 50s & 60s The rest doesn't matter since they are clearly confused on what is real country and what isn't.
