(Submit New Jim Reeves Lyrics) (Submit New Jim Reeves Lyrics) Review about Jim Reeves 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 !!<.

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!

An Evening Prayer | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song An Evening Prayer performed by Jim Reeves This Hymn was written by C. Maude Battersby in 1911 If I have wounded any soul today, If I have caused one foot to go astray, If I have walked in my own willful way, Dear Lord, forgive! If I have uttered idle words or vain, If I have turned aside from want or pain, Lest I myself shall suffer through the strain, Dear Lord, forgive! If I have been perverse or hard, or cold, If I have longed for shelter in Thy fold, When Thou hast given me some fort to hold, Dear Lord, forgive! Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee; Forgive the secret sins I do not see; O guide me, love me and my keeper be, Dear Lord, Amen. Man's best friend | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves I heard this song over the weekend- I was 19 when I last heard it and it still made me cry on Saturday. I've cried over losing dogs before and remembered each one as I listened to this song. No other country singer can do justice to this song like Jim did. PRAYER AND CONFIDENCE | Reviewer: desmond snell ------ About the song Where Do I Go From Here performed by Jim Reeves I think this is one of my favorites in all that is sung by Jim Reeves. I have heard it on tape several times and each time I hear it I listen to it twice, at least. This is a song asking god for peace and strenght. It is inspirational and prayerful.

Could not believe I could still recite the whole thing. Made a lasting impression for sure. Recommended for animal lovers everywhere. One of my all time favourites. A Really Good Tear Jerker | Reviewer: DW ------ About the song Old Tige performed by Jim Reeves I first heard this song many years ago. I had a dog named Lucky who had got in a fight and died in my arms. The next day we buried Lucky underneath a big shade tree. When we went in the house my dad who was a Jim Reeves fan, played me the song "Old Tige." Although I was 17 years old I cried like a baby over the loss of my friend. Lucky has now been gone 40 years and my dad died 25 years ago but every time I hear this song or read these lyrics it never fails to start the tears flowing once again.
