Jim Reeves one of my favorite country singers... He went too soon. I thank the developer of Youtube so that songs like this and others can be seen on here by everyone...
I listen to this for hours on end, in a world of my own, I block out the real world completely and think of my life, my past,where I could have changed things and got things right. I am in a world of my own. My Boss gets really angry.
thank-you for posting these videos. i grew up listening to Jim Reeves and i missed hearing him sing. this brought a big smile to my me, so i just wanted to day Thank-you. :)
Bono...perhaps I misinterpret what you said...but if you're referring to me as that....it takes one to know one...Further comments unnecessary. If I misunderstood...and you're referring to those who don't like Gentleman Jim...then I apologize.
i can remember my dad playing this song on a sunday morning forty years ago. love the version by the overtones , but jim is still the masterwithout a dout. luv you dad RIP.
this is my great cousin on my father's side and its true musical talent dose pass on threw family members i also can sing like him but i never met him he died befor i could meet him i 13 now and singing harmony
My grandad loved jim reeves! he got my mum listening to it, and he got me listening to it! im probably the only 16 year old who loves jim reeves, i havent got my mum, or grandad anymore... but jim reeves reminds me of them everyday...i can still hear them deep down singing them <3<3
GUD OL JIM . VERY UPLIFTING SONG IF YOUR JUST SEPARATED FROM MARRAGE OR HEADING FOR A JOB INTERVIEW OR . GOD I LOVE THAT OL UPLIFTING FEELING .I PLAY THAT ALL THE TIME I TAKE MY DOG 2 THE VET OR A RELATION 2 HOSPITAL 2 GIVE THEM SOME HOPE. I THINK SONGS LIKE THAT SHOULD BE PLAYED IN AMBULANCES 2 GIVE COMFORT 2 THE PATIENT.......OF COURSE I JEST. DEPRESSED ALREADY HA HA
I love my wife of 48 years so much but even after all this time she still thinks I do not love her. When I try to tell her how much I love her, she makes comments that result in us arguing. I wish she would just let me tell how I love her.
@rhouda your still there after 48 years! she knows you love her, and whats more...she loves you...stop arguing and just enjoy. you lucky, lucky people. I was so proud at my mum and dads golden wedding and was even prouder in these times to enjoy my own silver wedding last year..marriage is a commitment made by so few these days..cellebrate your golden wedding for the fact that you are still here...still married..and still in mind body and soul. I tell my wife and children every day I love them
This was OUR song when we were going together. We were marred and had 4 children. He passed away on Veterans Day in the Veterans Hospital. I still miss him and it's been 24 years. One Kewpie
Such a bittersweet song that reminds me of my late beloved grandparents~ they lived and loved for 43 years. Now they rejoice in Heaven. I miss them dearly!
Gentleman Jim, Oh How We Have Missed Him. So Smooth and Beautiful Voice. He and Marty Robbins Were The Greatest Male Country Vocalists Of All Time.. Their Songs On BMI- Backs This Up. ______________ Happy Trails"
When he passes, you'll never remember that he could not sing. The important thing is that he sang the song,....period. You didn't need to say that in your comment....even in humor.
I agree with all the nice comments below , this was also my fathers favourite singer it brings back fond and loving memories of a wonderful happy childhood. More like him please in the world
This song was the late Minnie Pearl's favaorite song, and there have been many versions by great singers. Not long before she died, a number of country singers visited her and serenaded her with this song I think Eddie Arnold, who perhaps sang it be and recroded it many years ago, was among them.
The great Jimmy Davis, Eddie Arnold, and Jim Reeves sang this song best, though Marty Robbins had a fine version.
@clarebannerman Why two? Heart is not to be divided .One can not be Two a huuuum.... Now Let's keep listening Jim's "I love you Because...live in Oslo, Norway, in 1964". He is from Texas. I live in Texas. I missed him more than " Adios Amigo...". I came to this great state a little too late to honor the greatest Jim!
Music is suppose to move you to the core of your sole. Jim Reeves music does this, I don't think the people who call them selves musicians today know this. Until the last couple of days and found this on youtube cannot remember the last song I heard that mad me feel like grabbing my husband and dancing around the house. It is so good to have that feeling again.
This was my Grandmother's favorite singer. Everytime I hear one of his songs, I can still picture her sitting on her recliner and humming along with him while she shelled butter beans from her garden. Thanks for posting this video.
When he sings I just start floating into my dream of dreams....I wish I could sing like him....when he sings all the dark clouds go away...and I miss someone to love....
"Gentlemen Jim" will live on through his vast recording of musical treasures! His super smooth voice is unmatched even today. Oh what a talent that was silenced way to soon! We miss you Jim...thank God, we still have your wonderful songs and recordings!!
How right you are Lulubelle&Scottie sang this song and many others in 1943/44 on the B B C on Sunday afternoons from the CANADIAN BEAVER CLUB in London.Edmunde Hockridge also sang. I think he was in the R.C.A.F.
Who wrote this song? It's been repodused so many times by great singers over the ages and will continue to be sung again and again. That is the test of a great song writer. Who was it???
It was written by Scotty Wiseman. He and his wife (Lulubelle & Scotty) were popular on radio in the 30s. The story is that Lulubelle was in the hospital and when Scotty went to see her he was inspired to write this song.
I wish they would release a DVD of jim of all his videos & songs there has got to be a lot of this that have not been seen for years come on share it before it get lost forever once its gone its gone what a waste lets see it ???
