  • No one can sing like Jim Reeves. He has such a soothing voice. Listening to him sing just makes you wanna lay back and relax. Whenever I'm stressed out I always turn to Jim Reeves' songs to calm me down. I do hope Jim Reeves in Resting In Peace and I know he is singing in God's choir with the angels joining in. Happy New Year and May God Bless You!

  • det finns inge bätre än Jim Reeves när det gäler den här sortens tårdrypande sånger, jag älskar hans röst

  • Gay song for religious faggots.

    Thanks for your visit and comment.

    God bless

    David

  • @jetro1957 Hank doesn't touch JIms baritone vocal - but why fight - they were both wonders of the music world. I love Jims songs - know them all by heart - but Hank was MOMS favourite! Funny huh? RIP Mom & Jim

    I wanted Jim Reeves for a daddy as I didn't have one - then I found out he'd passed away shortly after I was born. (1965) ... How sad I was and every time I hear him, now 45 so strange huh?

  • @goodieswanted2011 Yeah sadly Jim Reeves passed away In July 1964 In a plane crash over Nashville Tennessee? He was looking to purchase some property there when his plane went down! So sad I was only 3 1/2 when he died and I can remember sobing when I heard that he died even then I loved his music.

  • @MagicGary1960 He passed away In a tragic plane crash on July 31st 1964 at the age of 40 and left a widow Mary Reeves!!

  • One of mant many favorite Christmas songs sung by Jim Reeves, Thanks so much for the lovely video & song! :)

  • @JOHNDfan1

  • July 31, that is. Sorry.

  • Thanks, David, for the Copyright date..and for the Christmas/New Year greetings. I send the same to you. Thanks for all of your postings of Jim Reeves. He was the best. I sadly remember that August 31, 1964 night when his plane was reported lost, listening to WSM for hours and praying that they would be found safe. Thanks to you for helping to keep his music available.

    God bless,

    Charlie

  • @Dale0523

  • Glory to God in the highest! Christmas reminds me of the birth of Christ who came down from heaven and manifested into human flesh in order to redeem our sins, for those who have faith in Him and ask forgiveness of his sins. (John 1: 1-14 and John 3:16)

    Christmas carol should be sang in a traditional or classic style like this, Jim Reeves made an exceptional rendition of this blessed and wonderful Christmas song, for me Christmas is Christ, because without Christ there's no Christmas at all.

  • My grandfather loved Jim Reeves and as a result of listening to him in his childhood, my father became a fan. And now I am a fan. I have listened to Jim Reeves every Christmas for 34 years. Christmas would not be the same without listening to Jim Reeves Twelve Songs of Christmas. And when my own father is gone, I will know he is with us when I listen to Jim Reeves. Thank you for posting this beautiful song and video. Merry Christmas and God Bless. Shana, Canada
