Seeing Reeves perform at the Grand Ole Opry testifies to his rising fame between the late 50's and early sixties.You can see his lead guitarist, the late Joe Jackson, and the ensemble of the talented pianists, and other guitarists. Interesting stuff.

Jim Reeves last major hit before his tragic death in 1964. He is reputed to have said after the recording of this song, that 'he had sunk his teeth into the song', meaning that he knew that it was going to be a big hit.

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

Mystical song that pushes the boundaries of the worlds of fantasy.....!

Massive worldwide hit for Del Shannon in the early 60's. Pity he committed suicide....!

Simon & Garfunkel's 'Boxer' exemplifies the 60's, an era where probably the best music was produced.... wish i was living when such music was produced...!

Needless to say that it was Benny's keyboard talents carried this song....!!!!

Beautiful lyrics and catchy tune crafted by Benny Anderson & Bjorn Ulvaeus. A sad song actually, that aptly captures the emotions of the breakup of Bjorn & Agnetha..the real story is that Agnetha broke down and cried profusely after the song was recorded in the studio in Stockholm...

Memorable tune from the chart-topping Arrival ABBA album of 1976. Wonderful fusion of instruments and voices, and the nostalgic, catchy melody that i think has its roots from Swedish traditional music???

Dreamy love ballad, characterised by the catchy lyrics of Benny & Bjorn, and of course the beautiful, lilting voices of Frida & Agnetha. cool song.

Who can deny that Benny's keyboard talents carried part of this song?good song

Mournful lyrics of a sad song that reflects the death throes of the Swedish foursome ABBA. The lyrics reflect the emotional undertones of separation,sadness and the realization that the time had come for the group members to go their separate ways...Sad song indeed.

To this day, nobody has ever sung in a rich mellow, baritone voice like Jim Reeves had. This song is an example of the unique talent that Reeves possessed as a country & western crooner. Lovely song.

The combination of the the songwriting talents of Sir Tim Rice, and the ABBA duo of Benny Anderson & Bjorn Ulvaeus ensured the quality of this song. Excellent music..!!!

Reminds one of those idyllic days in the early 60's, when life was much easier..As an African who was born in the 60's, i always associate this song with the days when independence meant a lot of promise to African countries.

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

Traditional gospel song sung by Jim Reeves. The velvet voice and the RCA instrumentation arranged by Chet Atkins makes it truly a gospel classic.

Irresistible lyrics from Benny Anderson, Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA fame and Tim Rice. Bangok tests your limits of cerebral fitness..eh?

Mystical song by Enya.Is there a definitive genre for her brand of music? don't think so.

Lovable, sing a long tune crafted by Frank Farian. Classic Boney M tune. Reminds me of their chart - topping days in the late 1970's and early 80's.

Lovely ballad about the wistful wishes of a parent who knows she is losing a child who grows up everyday. Good lyrics by Benny Anderson & Bjorn Ulvaeus.

Probably Boney M's best ever live performance. Farrell's dancing strokes and histrionics definitely carried the day. Wonder whether the male voice was Frank Farian's or Bobby Farrell's..?

Jim Reeves breakthrough song, that first highlighted the Nashville sound to the world. Interestingly enough,Reeves picked it the song from some scripts that Chet Atkins had rejected as unfit for singing. At Reeves insistence, he agreed to have it recorded, resulting into Jim Reeves first internat...

Beautiful lyrics. Shows the reverence and awe the late Jim Reeves had for his Maker. Thank God he used his talent to praise God. This song glorifies God, showing the beauty of His handiwork.

Another Jim Reeves classic. The muted background voices of the backing vocals, the velvet timbre of his voice, and the instrumentation make this a truly Reeves jewel. Beautiful song.

Reeves favourite gospel song. It was sung during his funeral service in Panola county, East Texas. It was most likely sung during the early days of Jim Reeves, when he used to pitch his voice at a higher octave.

Chet Atkins convinced him to sing in a lower octave, which later became the velvet ...

Another one of those songs that exemplified the Nashville sound. Reeves' velvet voice and the muted backing voices, plus the instrumentation, make this a truly lovable Reeves classic. i love the song.

Good rendition of this Christmas classic, in the Nashville sound style.Once again, Jim Reeves lifts this song to another level, using his velvet voice, and the soft background instrumentation and backing vocals of the Anita Kerr singers, create a wonderful Xmas ambiance.

Classic Reeves song. It has Chet Atkins signature all over it. The mellow voice of Jim was the result of Chet's suggestion that he lower his voice, as well as the instrumental arrangements of the Nashville sound, that Chet engineered in the RCA recording studios.

Written by Cindy Walker, one of the finest country music composers in the USA. Lovely velvet voice..!!

Whenever i am in a crisis, i always play this song to soothe me.Good inspirational music, with uplifting lyrics. Jim Reeves often sung from the heart, and i believe he chose this piece, for a purpose.

Another Jim Reeves religious song classic. Shows the love Reeves had for his Maker.

A rare Jim Reeves tune. Love it every time i hear it. Velvet voiced Reeves has no comparison, 40 plus years after his death in 1964. Thank God for such a lovely baritone !!!!!!

Despite Reeves' untimely death in 1964, his voice continues to inspire millions around the world. This religious song touches my spirit whenever i hear it, 40 plus years after his death.

Beautiful velvet voiced Reeves praised God as his Maker. Thank God for such a lovely voice that glorified Him.

Brilliant composition from the song writing duo of Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. I love the lyrics and the instruments, the lead vocals of Agnetha, and the backing vocals of Frida.

Beautiful lyrics. One of their last signature songs that were an anthem of their separation....!
