Jim recorded a brief 11 years, from 1953 until his death in a 1964 plane crash, yet his music continued to chart into the 1980s, with several Top 10 posthumous hits. Jim was born on a farm near Galloway, Texas, where he grew up listening to country artists such as Jimmie Rodgers, when he wasn't involved in his first love: baseball.

But I never forgot the song or my first dog. Now I'm 45 and have 2 dogs after years of being without one ... I just found the song, Old Tige, again and listened to it. I could feel the tears well up inside me as I remembered my youth and the love of my dog. I could not hold back the tears ... I haven't cried like that for years.

Remembering Jim 45 years later | Reviewer: Ken ------ About artist/band Jim Reeves I was only 3 years old when the plane crash took the life of Gentleman Jim but through his music and watching VCR tapes of him, He truly is the real International Ambassador of Country Music while Patsy Cline deserves the Female honor of the same. While Jim Reeves is no longer with us physically as long as we have his music we have the memories and the appreciation for the time He was allowed to share his talent upon this earth! May God rest His Soul! A Jim Reeves Fan, Ken Ellzy Mendenhall, Mississippi USA Jim in South Arica | Reviewer: Gerald vd Merwe ------ About artist/band Jim Reeves I know for a fact that Jim had more fans in South Africa than any where in the world. He even made a movie called Kimberley Jim in South Afica. He sold more records in South africa than most other countries. He often came to South Afica. The day of his death all cinemas had a moment of silence with his photo on the sceen. People cried and sobbed. They loved him. What a beautifull person. We still listen to his music. Kareoke singers sings his songs in bars. IN South south Afica JIM IS UNFORGETABLE Lamenting the untimely death of Jim Reeves | Reviewer: N Ray Prichard ------ About artist/band Jim Reeves In July 1964 the radio was announcing that the private plane of Jim Reeves had failed to show up at his planned destination, we all feared the worst. Sure enough in very early August it was announced that the plane piloted by Jim Reeves had been found in a tree top in the mountains. He died alone and too young; he left us too soon. His smooth velvet voice has never been matched nor replaced. The likes of Michael Jackson are filthy rags in the annals of the music industry. The fools crying over Jackson would not know class or talent if if bit them in the !!<. A Letter To My Heart | Reviewer: Maureen Obiageriaku Gbagir ------ About artist/band Jim Reeves Each time I sing or listen to this song (and not this alone - several of his others), it does not stop touching the deepest of the deep of my heart. I just wonder what manner of man was this Jim. He stirs a love in my heart and I ask, do people like him still exist? No greater loyaltiy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves I lost my dog three years ago. I have been trying ever since to find the name and lyrics of this song. I remember it from when I was young, though my dog always reminded me of Olde Tige. To read those words again, is enough to make any man cry.

One of Moms Favs | Reviewer: ron gilmore ------ About the song Distant Drums performed by Jim Reeves This song brings a frog to the throat whenever I listen to it as Jim reeves was one of my moms favorite singers.

Family Tradition | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves This song has sort of become a new family tradition for us. My father memorized the song, in sort of a story tellying poem form, when he was 19 years old. I grew up listening to him recite it on road trips. I memorized it when I was 19 and will teach it to my children when they are that age as well. It's just a good story. song theft? | Reviewer: Phillip McGee ------ About the song An Evening Prayer performed by Jim Reeves If the "Anonymous" writer of 4/27/07 knows the original writer, Cliff Ferking who had this song stolen in the 40s. and you show the song written in 1911 are we talking about the 1840s? No wonder he's anonymous, he is very old and probably has forgotten his name! A Hard to Find Treasure | Reviewer: Bryan ------ About the song Where Do I Go From Here performed by Jim Reeves As a child I sang along with this song everytime I heard it on the BBC Radio. Now I am a Christian Soloist and find myself searching for the Piano/Guitar music to go with these most spiritual words ever written.
