  • We had all his vinyl LPs when I was a kid. I couldn't wait to start buying them on cd when cd's came out in the late eighties. But in listening to the cds I found there was no improvement in the sound quality of the vocals.

    Then I figured out why...there was nothing to improve upon. Jim's voice was already perfect.

    God rest his soul.

  • @fek2000 I first heard Jim Reeves on 8 track cartridge - remember them? Then I dwitched to vinyly, searching everywhere for imports and rare issues then, like you, I started stated all over again for cd re-issues; every song brings back happy memories of the seventies.

  • Another lovely song from Jim Reeves as usual, & love the pictures too, especially the one with his wife Mary.Thankyou Ian for posting this lovey, lovely song. - Geena.

  • You're very welcome Geena; We owe Mary Reeves so much for keeping Jim's music alive after his death, the least I/we can do is to include her memory alive as well.

  • what a superb voice,

  • Anita Kerr was a VERY talented arranger,but the background vocal on this song (and a few others by Jim) was Winnifred Breast,who died last year!

  • Thank you for posting this song..it's great song...love Jim reeves voice and music....and nice video..great job!!!!

  • you can tell Jim is so loved still by so many because the views are high on his videos and the dislikes are very low/few. How many artists has those statistics?

  • I just love Jim Reeves music. It is honestly like no other. Who can sing damned near everything flawless? I don't know of many I can tell you that. When I listen to Jim's material I just close my eyes and smile and I feel such a presence flow over me. It is such therapy for my soul.

  • It has been said the stars are the reminders, a personal forget me not that have been posted by the angles in the heavens for all to see..Take care ADonovan43
