  • Gentleman Jim Reeves recorded Welcome To My World In the spring of 1964? Just a few months before his untimely death In a Air Plane crash near Nashville Tennesse on July 31st 1964! This song and He'll have to go are my all time Jim Reeves classics!!

  • Love his voice forever..

  • woww

  • TO MY DAD RONNIE RIP MISS YOU ALWAYS POPS GONE TOO SOON .

  • The song Welcome to my world, is so wonderful. I like it as a love song, but also as a spiritual song, with the Lords welcome arms(seen in the video). My videoanswer: Across the bridge is a hopeful JR song about the other side. Bless

  • My mum and dad used to sing this, but are so missed now .

  • My high school shop teacher used to play this when we worked on cars (was in his class back in 1997 or so). He turned us on to a lot of good old tunes.

  • You are truly a great man i like all your songs

  • He truly was a great man. Admired all over the wordl. Could sing in different language, and did a pretty good job with "AFRIKAANS" In South Africa, they thought of him as "KING" He was a great person, and was a great loss.

  • he died so young so san i grew up with him

  • 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

  • Jim Reeves your songs have blessed my life.

  • The greatest of Gentleman Jim's songs. This is my favorite song and it is not played enough. I think of my lovely wife, Janet, whenever I hear this beautiful song.

  • I wonder if you would post Jim Reeves' " Its only a paper moon".

    Its a fav of mine...looked all over youtube but no luck.

    Wud really appreciate.......tnx

  • Thank goodness AMC show " Mad Men" closes each episode with a classic song from the 1960's. This song was was featured in the fourth season. Other classic country artists such as Skeeter Davis " End of the World" and George Jones' "Cup of Loneliness" have been featured too.

  • I'm a nurse and I recently took care of a 92 year old woman, who was as sweet as the day is long. She was telling me about her late husband, and how he played this song every morning. She hadn't heard it in several decades because she "lost the record" after he passed in 1974. I immediately searched for the song on my phone and your video popped up. As the song began playing her eyes welled up with tears. It brought back so many memories and she was so thankful to hear it once again. Thanks!

  • @annzks GOD BLESS U...U ARE SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON......

  • @verysinful27 Wow. What a different response to read on YouTube. Normally I read stuff like f u and insults. Me gusta.

  • @KidEatingClown i know such juveniles ...anyway thanks

  • @annzks your history is.....I can't say because I have a lot of sentiments.....but this song is beautiful. ;)

  • @annzks That is a lovely story,so nice,xx

  • I do not know if I commented on this before but if I did I will say again what a lovely version with an eternal meaning you have put in the video. Jesus said I stand at the door and knock.

    Thank you again

  • This man's voice is a mug of hot chocolate with a splash of Jack D

  • @JamesTSinclair , well said  you could not have said anything better than that .hit the nail on the head bud

  • Jim Reeves last major hit before his tragic death in 1964.

  • Many were raised to this song........the people who have common sense now..

    so sad for kids today....(2011).....they are so lost,,,with no parents.......sad

  • Jim Reeves will always be my "GOD" in music as well gospel :-)

  • I'm 18, I don't know if it's weird that I'm listening to these songs when most of my generation is listening to Akon, Pitbull, Snoop dog and, all the random "artists"?

  • @LylaN93 ... I'm 15, and I agree 100% =)

  • @LylaN93 it's a bit weird, but what's wrong with that?

  • Enormous voice - not many of them around those days!!! - Ofra Haza has got that distinctive huge voice, just sprung to my mind...

  • How can 36 people not like this song. it just A1.

  • @alancolwill1 i was wondering that to, if there this far in to the country part of YOU TUBE, why did they bother clicking on Gentlemen Jim, and then taking the time to comment , odd, unless there a troll

  • used to listen to this when i was little with my grandad now my grandchildren are listening to magic music

  • I would TOTALLY join your WORLD!!!!

  • thank you for posting this song, it's a classic which evokes so many feelings and wonderful memories.x

  • I am originally from Ghana on the west coast of Africa. We were brought up on Jim Reeve's songs too. My father used to play them very, very early in the morning between four and half five. I shed tears most of the time when I hear any of the songs being played. Tears are rolling down on my cheeks even as I am writing this comment, because these songs remind me of so many people I know who have departed from this earth.

  • Jim Reeves is like Slim Dusty, once you have listened to them, you are, as my oldest son puts it , fucked for life. God bless them. K.J. Edmonton.

  • An all-time great song!!

  • My Ma would play Jim on a Sunday morning whilst she did the housework.... timeless lyrics ... still love him to this day :)

  • david u done her proud

  • This should be in Fallout 4

  • As an old lady ;), which I'd be considered now by the "younger folks". I love this music, wish they made more like it nowadays. I really miss being able to listen to the words and understand them, plus having such nice melodies.

  • this is a good song and hope dawn rest in peace

    

  • this is a good song and hope dawn rest in peace

  • This is a good song and hope dawn rest in peace

  • I really enjoy Jim Reeves. I recently got into this craze of finding vinyl and he is difficult to find out and about. However I have found I believe 4 records of him and wow he is magical, that's all I have to say. I am 30 and I was raised on country music but I seem to have more of an appreciation now that I am getting older.

  • Thank you for the time spent creating such a beautiful showcase of one of the most talented singers of our time. As his career progressed he only became better. Thank you again for this beautiful presentation as well as some of the others you have presented here.

  • takes me back to when I was a kid and dad bring in the 33lps.

  • Oh the memories..... Xxx thank you, they may have gone, but still in my heart x

  • DAMNED ! BUHUU.. I MAD A MISTAKE ! IMEANT THAT IT WAS MOBILETIME, NOT SUMMERTIME, 01 : 38.. SUMMERTIME IT WAS 02 : 38.. HA ! HA ! HA ! BUT IT REALLY DOES NOT MATTER ! BECAUSE THEN IT SAYS ; "TO 38" ! HA ! HA ! HA ! COFFETIME NOW. SEE YOU.

  • Thank you for such beautiful music, it takes you to a different place by just closing your eyes.

  • I don't understand how 35 people can't like this. Evidentally they don't know good music when they hear it. Such a nice relaxing song comparted to the crap they put out nowadays. Thanks for posting this wonderful song.

  • I grew up listening to this song.....it is still and will be one of my all time favorites.

  • My dear old mum and nan's favourite singer. I'm actually in tears listening to the man's beautiful voice. What i'd give to go back just once to my childhood and see them both singing alone to the great man's pure voice.

  • My Dad's favourite singer.. a voice like buttered toast and honey.. wonderful

  • My nan used to listen to his songs when i was little. I knew the words to most of his song. I'm 20 now and I still love his song. =)

  • @jollofrulz

    It is good to hear that someone as young as you likes to listen to Jim Reeves. My late daughter was brought up on his songs so I opened this channel in her memory and for our mutual love of his music.

    God Bless

    David

  • @dagenhamdaveNo1

    I really appreciate his music and i'm glad that my nan introduced me to his music =)

    I am sorry to hear about your daughter.

  • @dagenhamdaveNo1 I'm also 20 and I also enjoy this kind of music. Got any suggestions for songs sounding similar? Kind regards, Peter

  • @dagenhamdaveNo1 ... I agree. I'm 15 years old as of last month, and I have (and always will) love this Country Western music that truly tells storys of Life, Love, and Hardships... Glad to see that people are still posting real music, and for that I thank you, and ALL listeners for keeping this wonderfull musical tradition alive and well in our ''pop'' society that has, unfortunately, took hold of the younger generations around my age.

    ...it's Ok you don't need to use the f word.. to be "cool" on this grandpa channel !...God still loves you...and welcomes you to HIs world...

  • @carpenterabc my apologies

  • @mrjoew8 , Why do you need to use foul words? That just gives your vocabulart away! Learn powerful words.

  • welcome xxxx

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • My dad loved Jim Reeves & I was brought up listening to him. My dad had Welcome to my world played at his funeral, thinking about the lyrics how this was so appropriate that God was saying to him Welcome to my world. God was welcoming my dad home to be with him.

    sara251165

  • @sara251165 I was brought up listening to my dad playing his records too - I'm born the same year as you so must have been the experience of quite a few people our age. That's a lovely idea about God welcoming him home I wish we done something like that at my dad's funeral as this was one of his favourites. 1933-95 RIP.

  • my gran just ask me to play this for her and i dont know what to say other than i fucking love it

  • This was my Nan's favourite song and was played at her funeral the other day :/ I can't listen to it without crying<3

  • a great classic song, but one of the smoothest voices in recorded history (literally)... and that has to be Floyd Cramer on piano, I know that sound anywhere!

  • I Thaaught this was the LP Song at boom town XD

  • grandma's music. huzzah!!!

  • Oom Tjai and oom Pingkie, RIP

  • Many years have passed since i last listened to this song. Didn't expected to find it...thank you my friend.

  • My mother passed away last summer. The love of her life, Keith, died a few years earlier. They always played Jim Reeves at home. What a voice - someone said it's like liquid honey, poured through a velvet-lined funnel coated with syrup. Bliss!

  • i'm 20, and my soul belong to 70' and 80's era...
