Who is Jim Pike? The man with "the golden voice" and a personality to match. Gary, so nice to see your post. I hope life is treating you well. You and Jim are the best.

Excusez, but who is Jim Pike, anyways?...never heard of him before.

Thankyou,

@Layna8 Hi Layna, thanks for watching.... Jim is one of the original members of the Lettermen vocal trio.

[mrgarypike]

@Layna8 Who is Jim Pike ?  He just happens to be my brother, and founder, and creative force of the famed Lettermen vocal group. All of the Lettermen are very good solo singers and are also posted on YT...

[EasternBluebirds4me]

@mrgarypike So nice to see your post on YT. It has been such a long time and the past leaves only warm memories of you and Jim and the music created by The Lettermen and now Reunion. Hope to hear more from you in the future, would love to see you and Jim again singing in concert. I know Jim enjoyed the celebration of his 75th birthday, forever young !!! Take care of you and let us know what you are up to. Enjoy your weekend !!!

Just came across your site looking for so deep is the night.What a voice.Im 75 years old and have heard most opf these versions.Yours ranks among the tops

[lettermen1]

@Ardmacha2 Thanks! Jim Pike's is certainly a great voice to discover... lots more on my channel if you want to take a look/listen!

[dwsingrs]

Greetings. I invite your attention to the song "Symphony" by Johnny Mathis. (I tried to post a link. When I clicked "Post" it said, "Error, try again." So, just type in Johnny Mathis and "Symphony.")

To my ear it has a Chopinesque "feel" similar to Jim Pike's "No Other Love.," especially the arpeggiated piano. I think the two songs would make a great medley.

[lettermen1]

@dwsingrs Yes, just listened to it and have to agree, very Chopinesque....we now need volunteers to turn it into a medley!

[TheMaria1217]

yes indeed for i have found him phil! i hope we end up together soon

[lettermen1]

@TheMaria1217 Maria, I'm so pleased for you, hope it works out right for you!

I was surprised to hear this one - I expected the Rodgers/Hammerstein song by that name, not the Weston/Russell. I never knew ANYONE but Jo Stafford ever recorded this song!

[lettermen1]

@BRG1942 The lettermen like to surprise people!!

[TheMaria1217]

I wonder if you could post the original lettermen version of "No other Love". Thank you so much too for posting "Halls of Ivy". You are so generous.

[lettermen1]

It will be my pleasure! It's never a problem posting Lettermen songs!!

However I now have a queue situation ! --5 songs have been requested in the last couple of days, I intend posting 2 of them tonight!

[magtrayocd]

I wonder if you could post the original version of the lettermen. I mean the one with the three of them blending their voices. Oh by the way, THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting "Halls of Ivy". You are very generous.

[egeym]

Beautiful song! Ah, If I could only bring back the hands of time, I wanna sing this with my mom.. Great love song, so nice voice.

[lettermen1]

Keep remembering her. Please don't let those memories fade!!

[egeym]

This is my mom's fave, she's gone, but me and my siblings love to listen to this song. Thanks for posting anyway.

[lettermen1]

You're welcome! I'm sure you have great memories of your Mom. Glad I could bring them back for a little while!

[MikeWilliamsonMusic]

Jimmy is stupendous on this cut!

Have you heard his "Impossible Dream" with Reunion?

[lettermen1]

Thanks, Mike. No I haven't heard more than about half of Reunions work. Loved their Battlehymn of the republic.

[brotherjohn25]

This song is my mom's favorite. She used to sing this when I was a little boy. thanks so much.

[lettermen1]

Glad I could bring back that great memory for you John!

[lettermen1]

Jim certainly had a fine voice! Perfectly suited to this kind of song.

[jundayo55]

Phil, that's really terrific of you to say that. This is a really comforting video and song after a hard day at work... I showed it to my Dad and he was happy! Forgot to tell you I finally completed his Lettermen albums with the last two missing Jim Pike albums "College Standards" and "Spin Away" patiently awaiting them in the mail! Oh and ADVANCED HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU, PHIL!!! - Eman
