Jim Reeves - Stand at Your Window

[MrPRONOUSE]

We heard Jim reeves very often on radio Ceylon during late sixties and early seventies.we could never listen to him over BBC or voice of America.during this period we had a young group of American students visit Kerala.They came home for lunch and we played jimreeves on our turn table.They liked him,but it was the first time they came to know about this legend!

[w127smc]

My dad listened to to Jim when I was a kid. I am 38 and my Dad has been gone for almost 15 years, but Jim is still the Man. His voice is so smooth he left way before his time too! Love His Music! Thank God For Jim!

[scotty19561]

This is one of my all time singers I new my hole life of 45 years.I never get sick of . There is no one like Jim reeves.

[jimilonghair]

@lightweightslim-sorry brian, didn't know this was you lol

[jimilonghair]

@frankie-Sorry but very very wrong. This song was written by H.G. Jim Carroll. I should know, he was my father. I remember when the contract came in very well. This was one of three Mr. Reeves recorded of my dad's music.

[monty44444444]

no one can touch this guy the best

[frankie3715]

Classic Reeves song, composed by Cindy Walker, with all the trappings of the Nashville sound. Sadly both Joe Jackson & Cindy Walker are also deceased..

[yougotme701]

what a voice. i grew up listening to him. he was my mothers favorite singer. i still listen to his music.

[nametakenuse]

Wonderful opportunity to hear and see Jim, Leo, and Dean. Thank you for posting

[alancolwill1]

Jim could have sang with me and it would have been great. I Can't sing but god he could.Jim no1 forever.

[CEscates]

Talk about a class-act! Jim Reeves was truly a gentleman who was a professional in every sense of the word.

Most performers now days hold their audiences in contempt, are abrasive, rude, condescending, and horribly arrogant. The sad part is that audiences eat it such maltreatment. I'm not remotely smart enough to understand why.

[hunter3826]

@CEscates would have loved to seen him live what a voice

[DeatheaterLover]

I LOVE JIM REEVES MUSIC!! :) X

[klumog]

THe greatest singer country ever had!

[Heather99383]

[Heather99383]

the greatest country music singer ever llived

[tkyaheya]

My sincere salute to those who are very concerned about sharing these gems with other like me outside the United States. Glad tidings from Sri Lanka!!

[MikeBlitzMag]

Absolute, utter perfection! Jim Reeves is greatly, greatly missed.

[firmflange]

i love this song

[ranteraptorkiller]

SALUT TO JIM REEVES, I LOVE YOU SONG EVERYTIME

[eyupmeducks]

wow, love this .

[chrismcgenius]

My Father Use To Have All Records Of Jim Reeves Which He Love To Hear In Many Many Years, Jim's The Greatest!!

[misterafrika]

Memories,memories.Sweet memories.

[gregsons2010]

I would guess the ones who clicked on the don't like must be very sensitive people who can't understand Gentleman Jim's music....

[scottsoul64]

why did the dislikes click onto gentle giant jim if they didnt like him

[keefer2111]

I sure remember this. great memories.

[ENEROT]

Eddies choice



[hankedful]

So nice to see and hear , this is one of those songs that hang around a persons mind in tiny bits and pieces for decades, then all of a sudden paulo1 comes to the rescue, thank you very much.

[glenrep]

Two minutes, 10 seconds. They didn't waste time back then!

[kq082682]

negramDKbent look for the film Kimberly Jim you can see the great man acting and singing in living picture`s

[onlinelondon]

Imagine how many souls on the planet who an identify themselves on this

ed

w w w eddy nu

[turksmikey]

by this is nice eh

[Alabamaexpress]

Does anybody know why Jim changed the words on both verses on this live version compared to the recorded version maybe "lightweightslim" might be able to help

[jimilonghair]

@Alabamaexpress Because my dad gave him permission to change the words. My dad was the one that wrote this, one of three that Mr. Reeves recorded of my dad's music. Mr. Reeves first recorded it the way my dad wrote it but thought the change made the song tighter so dad gave him permission.

[lightweightslim]

My grandfather wrote this song :)

pride...

[U33C]

A great version with terrific harmonizing.

[10171907]

Awesome Greatest Voice Ever!!

[lightweightslim]

i'm sooo proud to see this video up...my grandfather wrote this song!!

[jimilonghair]

@lightweightslim Why are you claiming that your grandfather wrote this?? I ask because my dad was the one that did write this. And we, the family, still have the contract from Jim Reeves to prove it. This is one of three that Mr. Reeves recorded of my dad's music.

[1956MercM260]

Jim Reeves is the Real Deal. So is Leo Jackson, for that matter. Today's mass-produced and hyper-dubbed "music" comes nowhere near the heights attained by yesterday's greats.

[phantumwolf]

How can 4 people not like this? This is REAL country music!

[Believer1181]

Nothing in this video but true talent. He was a true talent.

[TheLousyCafe1960]

Jim's modesty is refreshing. So unassuming and authentic. He's preferable to the egotistical, in-your-face, and over-sexed performers now days.

[ykawamoto]

Thank you for sharing the video. Jim must have one of the best voice in the whole world. Great performance!!

[sessnazx]

Jim Reeves was my dad 's favorite country singer.. as he was mine. Such a soft and tender voice.. He will always be sadly missed.Mike.....UK

All The Stars

[f6lks74]

This is just tooooo cool!

[TheLousyCafe1960]

Jim is the BEST! What a talent! What a voice! He easily entertain an audience WITHOUT fireworks, laser lights, and fog machines. You know how he was able to do that? He did it with a little thing called TALENT!

[franklindavid]

They harmonize so well ! Nice duet.

[doyle921]

Will somebody tell me why we have a talent like Jim Reeves for only a short time? I don't get it.His voice was obviously God given. God gives and God takes away I guess.

[alguien53]

Två ggr. samma kvinna men 36 år mellan!

[SanAntonioCrooner]

Wonderful, wonderful voice! Jim was a wonderful singer!

[angelofbebop]

I'm a HUGE Jim Reeves fan! Thank you to LaVerne37 for sharing it and to paulo1 for posting it!

[LaVerne37]

so glad I found this...I wore this record out as a child...Jim and Patsy...PERFECTION...many thanks for posting

:)

[angelofbebop]

@LaVerne37

Thank you for sharing this one! I'm a huge Jim Reeves fan! Especially "Welcome To My World!"

[chibinski]

to me, he has a teddy bear quality, the way he bounces from one foot to the other. i love it. and his music, too.

[jennadyann]

simply awesome!! They harmonized 2gether so splendidly...great song 2!

[sessnazx]

Good Old Jim,

He Had The Magic Voice,

Thank You So Much

[DERedhead65]

I love this music reminds me of my mom and GREAT ole' memories of her and I doing the cleaning to the music on the stereo... miss that...

[mebrassard]

i will always love Jim Reeves..listened to him all my growing up years.

[Corrie121]

Wonderful post. most enjoyable.

Thanks for sharing.

[srybishop]

His voice is so perfect, so smooth, and so real. It was a great, great loss to country music the day Jim Reeves died.

[candw87]

BETTER 5*****S

[yedon68]

...jim's band-members were all good looking dudes...!

[amiloosingyou]

A great singer.I am die hard fan of JR.Collected almost 490 songs to his credit.Can anyone sing like him?no NEVER!!!

[Yelloyote]

He died in his early forties didn't he?

[bonnyside]

Jim Reeves was something special -and I like Leo too!

[libralady24]

gotta love his voice tho, too bad he had to die so young and leave the world without more of his music

[negramDKbent]

There will be no one like Jim Reeves. If you don't believe me, look this video. I have never seen living picture's jim, before I came on YouTube, and I will thanks everyone who put video's here and share them with us outside from US. Thanks again

[briartlaw]

@negramDKbent Well put i agree100%..

[slpsharon]

Very few singers of today have as much personality as the older ones did.

[hot99roy]

Totally agree!

[derekjref]

I don't like Country music, but this guy is really good!

[kjf666]

I am wondering if Leo Jackson ever recorded solo.

[zoed707]

I've never heard, before or since, anyone with a voice like Jim Reeves.

As Beantown Jim said :-

"Real music WOW"

[modela30sedan]

Thank god for you tube, I never thought I would here the music and see the singers like this ever again, brings back so many memories.

[Shamagogue]

Jim is so great - plus I like the guy with the Ed Grimley (SCTV) haircut!!!

[sylfad]

Good music.

[briartlaw]

just the best.

[zaaritha]

One good song with Jim R.

[ndawnman]

Too bad performers today don't have smiles such as these have as they perform. These people seem to enjoy entertaining whereas todays performers do not have that real appreciation of their audience.

[BeantownJim]

real music wow

[sweetthing77203]

Soooo Wonderful! 5*

[candw87]

He was only human after all.We all have our failings.

[jerryiceland]

Paulo1, I just wonder where you got this wonderful piece from. U may not appreciate how much good you have done to so many people. I guess you are nearly as wondeful as Jim was.

[guitarmanaruna]

Leo Jackson and Jim combination gave us timeless classics.....!!!!!

[bubgibby]

Fantastic to see these clips on YouTube. Otherwise they would be lost to history.

[wrestlerpin]

anyone know what chords Jim is using for this song?

[realhoo]

He does this version in A. (A, D, & E with an occasional B or Bm thrown in.)

[PSVBoeruh]

my parents favourite. I miss you Dad..

[LaVerne37]

A gift to the world of music from Panola County, TEXAS!!!! Heaven must be a beautiful place with you and Patsy Cline up there!!!

A Proud Texan

[Sorenbernt]

I just read the news that Leo Passed away yesterday, another page in the Jim Reeves story is closed.

[walls703]

You heard correct, he was buried today (5/8/2008) in the same Hendersonville, TN cemetery as Johnny Cash and Merle Killgore.

[chuckiesinluv]

I read a book recently that painted Jim as having a bad temper. Well, he was a perfectionist and that is not surprising. He was great.

chuck

[Codyiloveu]

Jim was so great. I still enjoy his music.

[biffdavis]

They just don't make them from this cloth anymore. Jim Reeves was awesome!!

[stevee989]

i like led zeppelin and the who , but jim was absolutely fantastic. i thoroughly reccommend the bear family 16 cd box set that includes everything he recorded. superb.

[Codyiloveu]

My dad has the box set and I was raised on those tunes from birth. I know a few of them...

[heydolz]

simply the best singer of all time..

[DonRavings]

Jim Reeves never used a capo.

[icanhearyoubreathing]

I'll bet he could have if he had wanted to!

[DonRavings]

and what do you think that would have done to civilization a we know it?

[rockyval]

My father is a great fan of Jim Reeves....I'm 50 years old and I'd listened these beautiful songs since my early ages (4 years old)my favorite songs are...stand at your window....I'm hurtin' inside....don't you wanne be my girl etc.......thanks for the memories  A fan Carole

[HappyLhasa27]

Thanks so much Paulo1 for putting these wonderful Jim Reeves videos on, they are all super nice - this is my favorite, what a great voice and personality Jim had, I have been a Jim Reeves fan since the 1960es and still hear him almost every day, he is just one of the very best!

[raat420]

Love this song reminds me of so many memories,,

[Qarols]

ciertamente una hermosa y viril voz q da gusto encantar al oido. thanks so much, beatifull voice of this singer, i love his voice

[forcereserve]

Jim was without doubt one of the greatest. Thanks for putting this on for us.

[tollie0202]

[JimReevesFan]

In my opinion, he was the best...

Thank you.

[creffrey]

he was one of the best.

[ticoq67]

cette chanson m'a rappellé de tres bon souvenirs jim reeves a fait parti d'une bonne parti de mon enfance

[rusty63blue]

Wonderfully Cool

[fonz1974]

you´ve got to love gentleman-jim, there´s no way bout it. does anybody have "there´s a heartache following me" ?

[hirdy6]

What a voice!!! Lyrics to this song always worried me though. I mean the girl has given you the arse and you are waiting in the darkness to see her through her window. Today we would call that stalking!!! Don't shoot me I'm just taking the piss.

[mason104]

Lean out of the window, Golden-hair,

I hear you singing A merry air...

I have left my book, I have left my room

For I heard you singing Through the gloom,

Singing and singing A merry air,

Lean out of the window, Golden-hair.

James Joyce

[junebaby57]

I love this song...

[wrestlerpin]

anyone know what chords Jim is using for this song?..Thanks

[5inthehole]

From the video, it looks like he's in "D"

[LillithCarmichael]

The key they are playing in is A :-)

[ukkieisar]

je houdt van hem of niet.....maar ben eerlijk, wat een stem

[alababy1939]

Love Jim Reeves wishes had more,but very happy you being here where can listen to them,.Thank much for time put into this.

[ppeak2007]

just listen to that wonderfully clear,pure, baritone voice of his. The voice of an angel.

[amandahfinlay]

my grandad used to come home from the pub and fire on jim onto his old record player ~ wow ~ the memories of getting a taste of mcewans pale ale ~ lol ~ like you root ~ but he didn't like bob :(

[rootdoctorabe]

reminds me of my dad. miss you daddy. see you soon. he listens to jim reeves and bob marley 24 hrs a day.

[catlynbris1]

Nobody like him. I just love his voice.

[lomaridge]

I remember the day Jim & Dean died in the plane crash...what a tragedy....but it's also nice to know that Jim's music will live forever..

[stewartmac11]

Always remember my late father coming home from the pub on a Saturday during the seventies in Paisley & falling asleep on the couch listening to Jim Reeves. I hated it as a teenager, however given the passage of time I have def. changed my mind. Fantastic clip. Love the way Jim plays most of the time without a guitar strap! Timeless. Thanks for the memories.

[Paulywint]

I always love Jim Reeves. My mother's late boyfriend always liked him, and sometimes I almost cry when I hear him sing, because I miss my mother's boyfriend so much.

[grandpapappy]

These two guys look like they are having a great time playing this song together.

[prorish1]

Great musical backing - piano, guitars, and ofcourse Jim Reeves at his best as always- thank you

[flyboy1192]

A great video of a great man. paulo1, you do good work!!

[kevvy1908]

Nice to hear Jim's normal speaking voice. The piano accompaniment is great - love the way it builds in volume.

[Gallplum]

55 years I have waited to see Jim, it was worth the wait!

[Alfamango]

Great voice and good song. Is the gentleman seated at the piano Dean Manuel, who also died in the tragic plane crash? I was fortunate to see Jim Reeves and the Blue Boys, plus Floyd Cramer and Chet Atkins in concert in the early 1960s. It remains one of my treasured musical memories.

[Tom1948]

Yes, that is Dean Manuel. Both he and Jim Reeves died on 31st July 1964.

[dorbanex]

What a Guy, and what a Talent, even after all those years Jim still Rocks!!

[mozzaragan]

brings back memos when i had best time of my life,look down on us jim.

[bderg123]

Superb video and sound from Jim and Leo together!

[drewweaver]

Great harmony singing by Leo

[Denieuwehilterman]

[bruckner1]

[cawsee]

[crashgar]

[hirdy22]

How good was this bloke? What a sad shame the man died at such a young age.

[prorish1]

Thank you for this superb video.Wonder if anyone knows the names of the musicians accompanying him. They are great and enhance every song of his.

[texjones]

Thanks so much. I've got a wonderful DVD of Jim Reeves, but this one is not on it!! He is my favorite of all Country Music artists, period. I've got 146 songs by him in collection, but I don't have videos. Thanks so much.

[vidiobuff]

Simply superb !! Jim Reeves has been my most favourite singer for decades - with a voice which stands unsurpassed in its richness and smoothness. I loved this version of 'Stand at your window' in which Leo Jackson's voice stands out a little more than usual ! Thanks a lot for sharing.

[JimReevesFan]

RARE good stuff from Gentleman Jim. What year and TV appearance was this from?

Jim still rocks after all these years.

Thank you.
