BIMBO - Jim Reeves 1954

[TheMtdaisy]

Timbo - this is the one that mother sang other than the first one i posted to. He loved cracker jacks! We love and miss you Timbo.

If this is Jim, his voice got much higher.

@daffydoug No doubt, this IS Jim R.

[daffydoug]

@SPENNA99 OK. I was just taken aback by the fact that his rich, deep baritone wasn't evident in this tune. He must have gotten better over the years.

[SPENNA99]

@daffydoug Very possible, many of his well known songs are into the 60's this one is from 1954

[daffydoug]

@SPENNA99 That explains it! He indeed did get better in his vocal chords as time went on!

That was one of my favorite songs to dance and sing to when I was a kid. There's a home movie we have where I'm dancing around the living room with my Pinocchio doll--and, likely, to that song. Aunt Jenny and my cousins, Carolyn & Jimmy are sitting on the loveseat in front of the fireplace clapping and singing, and my mom is following me around with a comb to do my hair. My dad's behind the camera. Home movie not a talkie back then, but, from what I know I'm quite sure the song is Bimbo.
