		Jim was well known as the singer with the velvet voice and the gentlemanly manner.
		Jim's widow, Mary Reeves, kept many of the recordings unreleased after his death in backlog and had them released, little by little over the years, to great success - so much so that younger executives in the record business had to be reminded that Jim has been gone for over 35 years!
		Jim had some serious health problems which most fans were unaware of- he had an enlarged heart (which caused him to be rejected by the military in 1941), and suffered from high blood pressure.

	Artist Biography - Jim Reeves
		Not only that, but Jim made a wide-screen color movie, "Kimberly Jim," in South Africa and it's been outgrossing "Ben Hur" and the "Ten Commandments." The film, soon to be released in the U.S., may turn out to be the first film feature starring a country artist to become a smash.
		That this bit of potent philosophy has become a personal creed for Jim Reeves is a profound conviction of ours after watching him devote as much time and attention to the unknown fan as to the great and near-great of the music world.
		It was difficult for Jim to realize that his name was on the lips of hundreds of thousands of people; it was surprising to have requests for personal appearances pouring in -- but Jim Reeves had been disappointed before, and he walked the cautious path.

		Q.: She said, "No, Jim was a natural talent and if he got better through the years he achieved that all by himself.” Still I wonder if he, while at home, did vocal exercises apart from the obvious rehearsing of songs.
		Jim was so professional and caring about his personal appearances that he always went the extra mile for his fans.
		A.: Actually, Jim's management was able to keep me out of the army a year and a half after I was drafted so I could do the USO tour of Germany and England in early 1957.

	CHARLEY PRIDE - A Tribute To Jim Reeves (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Jim Reeves, from Texas, started out as a traditional sounding Country singer but he soon found his stylistic niche with ‘Four Walls’ which went number one on the Country charts and as high as number 11 on the Pop charts.
		Reeves’ style was perhaps borrowed from the likes of Red Foley and Eddy Arnold… take a pop sounding song and treat it to lavish orchestration (lavish by Nashville standards of the time) and adopt a deep, dreamy vocal… "Bing Crosby sings Country" if you will.
		Like Reeves, Charley is a true gentleman, beloved around the world and now in his fifth decade of recording.

		Kimberly Jim is the soundtrack to the film in which Jim Reeves starred shortly before his death.
		The music runs the gamut, from rousing Broadway-style show tunes with a vocal chorus to a version of "Roving Gambler" that is one of the best and most country-sounding recordings of Reeves' late career.
		Other selections, including "Kimberly Jim" and "I Grew Up," are big-band vocal numbers that demonstate Reeves' versatility, and perhaps give further evidence of his continual drift toward the pop...

	He'll Have To Go- Live From The Grand Ol Opry, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		Jim Reeves was a key figure in the early days of the Nashville Sound, the lush, smoothed-out style (also known as "countrypolitan") that swept Music City during the '50s and '60s — a reaction of sorts to the raw, rough edges of rock & roll.
		From today's perspective, though, Reeves' career divides into two distinct halves: straightforward honky-tonker (with a catalogue of up-tempo titles like "Yonder Comes a Sucker" and "Red Eyed and Rowdy") and pop-country crooner.
		The latter is the Reeves most people know, thanks to a voice as velvety-smooth as any in country music, which he wrapped deliciously around weepers such as "Just Call Me Lonesome," "Four Walls" and especially "He'll Have to Go," his career-making signature song.
