Jim Reeves has a rich deep voice that sets a real mood. One of his best known classics in that tone is Welcome to my World.

Jim Reeves was my father's favorite singer. He had many of his records. Jim died in an small airplane crash in 1964 at the age of 40. He was piloting the plane and was the only person on board. He is buried in East Carthage, Texas.

Jim reeves had amazing voice give a listen to welcome to my world by gentleman Jim its awesome

Gentleman Jim Reeves. His voice along with his manner was awesome. I remember watching the TV when his plane was missing and they had authorities out looking for it. It was a sad day and a big loss. Beautiful voice. He was a real singer.

I'd like to imagine "Sweet Lips" and her friend were visiting on the sofa when Jim called." Back then, bedroom gymnastics were not mentioned. Improper. 😉

His voice was like velvet and so very beautiful!

Jim Reeves was an American country & popular music singer-songwriter from the 50's-80's. He was known as "Gentleman Jim". He had many great hits such as "Mexican Joe", "Bimbo", "Four Walls", "He'll Have To Go", "Adios Amigo", "Welcome To My World", "Am I Losing You?", "I Love You Because", "I Won't Forget You", "Make The World Go Away", "Missing You" "I Can't Stop Loving You" etc. He was only 40 years old when he died in a plane crash. But he left a great legacy of music behind.

Your are wrong Mr reeves died in a plane crash in the mid 60s

I love that you two love Gentleman Jim! He was such a great vocalist! One of the all time greats.

The Velvet Voice of Jim Reeves

Jim Reeves had a great voice. I think he was a newsreader before he started singing. He had some pretty good songs too - Blizzard, Distant Drums

Please listen to Jim Reeves Welcome To My World And When Two Worlds Collide they are 100% worth listening to

One of the most beautiful voices ever. Such mellow music. I’d love to hear more

You can find most all of his recordings here on KZread, type his name in the bar and have loads of fun hearing this man. Most of his music was recorded at Bradley Studios in Nashville Tennessee known as the Nashville Sound. Jim and Chet Atkins a super great guitarist were responsible for the inception of the Nashville sound to include the vibraphone and strings backing the artist! Keep in mind these songs from that time period were recorded in one large room maybe with some sound screens, otherwise everyone had to know their job to record these priceless songs in one take!

He had one of the purest voices, you will ever hear.

I seriously recommend Jim Reeves' cover of "Make The World Go Away". That is 100 PERCENT his greatest song.

My parents had most of Jim Reeves albums so this takes me right back to my childhood 😊 Such a smooth and distinctive voice.

I was born. 1950. I remember this song in my house &. My dad singing it all the time. 🎸🎸💞💞💞💞💞💞

Another in a long line of great Texas artists that reached the pinnacle of greatness. And another that tragically died (Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, Jim Reeves, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and many more).

One of the top male voices of all time, doesn’t matter which song you pick, he makes them all sound great!

This took me way back. What a voice Jim Reeves had! I never thought about this as a girl, but he had to be calling her from a phone booth indoors, probably at a bar. “I’ll tell the man to turn the juke box way down low.” There was no caller ID, so she answered the phone not knowing who called. Did she answer yes or no?

Who could say no to that beautiful voice?

One of the smoothest voices to ever sing a country song.

My sister that pasted years ago, loved him, her favorite. Memories

Jim Reeves had what it takes to be a living legend. Gone entirely too soon. My dad played professionally in the late 40s and 50s. If you closed you're eyes you would think Jim Reeves was singing. Ironically my dad would have been 100 yesterday. Thank you for reacting to this song. Elton John did a cover of this song y'all should check out. Shawn you are a lucky man

My mom loved Jim Reeves and I can see why his voice is so smooth

You can't go wrong with Jim Reeves. He is one of my go to's!

Jim Reeves. One of the purest voices blessed by God.

I love when young people can enjoy the old songs...more need to listen to them. This was the beginning of real shit....no matter what kind of music you listen to....

Jim Reeves was famous world wide. It was a sad day when he died in that plane crash.

The most beautiful, soothing voice ever .

"Distant Drums", "My Cathedral", "We Thank Thee", "Where We'll Never Grow Old", "The Blizzard", "Welcome To My World"....❤❤❤❤❤

Listened to Jim Reeves growing up and love his music! Makes me think of memories of my Dad!

I have been listening to him sing sense 1980. Im 49 now he is and always will be one of my favorites of all time I have stage 3 fibrosis but each and ever time I can I will listen to him

I remember my dad listening to this song when I was a kid. I am 69 years old now and still love this song.

True Classic Country!

Jim Reeves was my Mother’s favorite singer…. Followed very closely by her love of Charlie Pride.

The Man with the Velvet Voice ! Music of my youth. That voice.

SUPPERTIME brings back memories of our dearly departed.

Wow, im 70. I remember this great song. The thing is, great songs are always great!

Ah, happy memories of my late mother, who was a huge fan of Jim Reeves and absolutely loved this song.

I remember hearing him sing a song that could have been called “little child”. I played one of his gospel albums over and over in the mid 1960s because of that song but cannot remember the title.

Gentleman Jim...wonderful to dance to.

He died in 1964 but his songs did continue to chart into the eighties.

Growing up as a kid i would hear this on the am radio , now i sing it to my wife and she loves it 😊❤

Jim Reeves was one of the best Country Crooners and my personal favorite. He died much too young in a small plane crash in a plane that he was piloting. He had become caught in a storm, and Reeves suffered spatial disorientation (he didn’t know if he was going up or down) While preoccupied with trying to re-establish his ground references, Reeves let his airspeed get too low and stalled the aircraft and crashed into the ground. The year was 1964 and Jim Reeves died at only 40 years old.

Gentleman Jim

I used to come home from work, turn out the lights, then stretch out on the couch, listening to Jim Reeves

Gentleman Jim Reeves sang a great 1961 (my graduation year) Willie Nelson song "Hello walls". You will love this one too!!!

Jim Reeves!! Velvet voice. Try "Welcome to my world"!!

My dad passed away in ‘93 and he loved Jim Reeves and Loretta Lynn. Try Distant Drums. Best memories ever!

LOVE your reaction. Awesome song from WAAAAYY back from an outstanding bass singer. What a voice he had, OMG!

Smoothest male voice back in the day, one of the most unbelievable voices of all time!!!

Jim was big in the 50s he was called mr. velvet. He was killed in an airplane accident.

I'm deaf and rely on hearing aids and lip reading, I could always hear his voice in a smooth rhythm and on tv I had no problem reading his lips, his voice was beautiful. 😍

My daddy's favorite singer. He use to walk around singing, " Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone". Good memories.

I LOVED your reactions ! My Dad who passed away last year loved this song

You guys need to hear Jim when he sings Bimbo. I think you're gonna love it.

Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves recorded an album of duets. Patsy died in a plane crash at the age of 30 on March 5, 1963, and Jim Reeves also died in a plane crash on August 31, 1964 at the age of 40. Greatest country duo of all times in my humble opinion.

Been pushing hard for this because y’all Have To Hear one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded: Willie Nelson & Ray Price - Faded Love

I still do this song at every show. I will never have his voice but I love this song and Welcome to my world.

Known as "Gentleman Jim Reeves", this is his signature sound. Other great examples are, "Make The World Go Away", "Welcome To My World", and "Am I Losing You?".

Make The World Go Away was sung by Eddy Arnold, not Jim Reeves.

The smoooooothest voice ever in the history of country music.

Try"Welcome To My World" by Jim Reeves it's a must!!!

I like this song so much and Jim has a classic voice.❤❤❤

This is one of the few records in my mum and dads radiogram. I grew up with this deep,rich voice. He has so many more songs. Someone else has listed a few please check them out 🌸🌸

My father had a beer with Jim R. Back in his airforce days in texas. My father had all his records too. He played them when he would drink. I still remeber those days growing up. Now 63yrs old

Jim Reeves Had A Beautiful Voice 💙

He has the most beautiful voice & the way he delivers the message/lyrics is to die for.

This came out when I was a kid. My mother loved this song. When it came on the radio, everything came to a stop until it was over. We dared not make sound while Jim was singing.

Gentleman Jim Reeves had so many hits. You seem to be the only ones covering these wonderful hits from the past! Two great songs I did not see mentioned here are Distant Drums and Hawaiin Wedding Song.

He has the most beautiful voice.

Jim Reeves sings the beautiful song “Welcome to my World”. You should definitely listen to an Eddie Arnold record and a Connie Smith!

Jim Reeves was a professional Baseball player prior to becoming a singer-song writer. He was signed with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1944 but an ankle injury took him out of baseball and into music.

Grew up listening to Jim. One of my most liked singers

Can you believe that deep, silky voice? That was probably the very first song that I learned to sing as a kid, We lost way too many great great artist way too soon. When I was a kid all my mom only ever listened too country music. As I got a little older I loved pop and rock and roll music like the Beatles, but as a kid I really thought that when I 'grew up' I would naturally prefer country music to everything else, just as a matter of maturing. 🤣🤣🤣

The talent that's still unrecognized by many people and Country music is filled with Gems like these. The best music there is.

My dad loved Jim listening to this brings back memories.

My God how beautiful. My mother back in the day at a secret crush on this Jim. If you guys like Jim Reeves try Eddy Arnold. Thank you so much for the Memories.....

I haven't heard Jim Revees sing since I was a kid in the 60s. He was always regarded as having the golden voice of country .

jim reeves memorial is on highway 79 outside of Carthage, Texas..it is beautiful...you will like Don Gibson..

The one and only James Travis Reeves aka Gentleman Jim!

I grew up listening to Jim Reeves. My mother listened to him and He'll have to go was her favorite of his songs. What a one of a kind, amazing voice! Love his music..

My Dad's favorite... heard him all the time Great voice

Oh the sweet memories. Of all6 of us kids sitting on the sofa . Watching Mom and Dad sway twirling and Dipping across the living room. Thx for sharing ♥ your reaction.

I grew up on Jim reeves. He was known as the man with the million dollar voice

My favourite singer of all time, learned about Jim's songs from my mum.his songs and memory will live on.legend of country...

💞13 Years!!!💞 ✨Congratulations!!! ✨ 🥂 To a lifetime together, as One! 🥂

We lived across the street from his museum in Nashville. They tore it down to build a home depot. They did save two small buildings that where over 100 years old. They put them in downtown Nashville for the tourist to enjoy.

one of the greatest voices ever

In Belize in East carribean we Love JIM REEVES old to young in the 70 that that's play on the radio we didn't have TV . I've dance kiss to Jim Reeves. On Sunday nothing better than Jim all day on the radio with Patsy Cline, loretta Lynn so on.

my adopted father was a commercial fisherman. Back then, they used CB radios to communicate. He played this song for her everynight over the radio

Another great song by Jim Reeves that I haven't seen mentioned yet is "Distant Drums". We listened to his greatest album growing up...it was one of my dad's favourite records.

James Travis Reeves (8/20/1924-7/31/1964) country music singer- songwriter aka "Gentlemen Jim" a member of both Country and Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. "Four Walls "(#1 County #2 Cash Box Charts) in the 1960's He'll Have to Go" ( There's what was known in the 60's as answer song " He'll Have to Stay :Jeanne Black) "For the Good Times" which was cover by Al Green (1972)

You just can not go wrong with any song sung by Jim Reeves. He was one of a kind, and his music is timeless.

Wow, couldn''t believe I saw this one, Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline are the GOATs of "country" music. This channel has the best and widest selection of music of any reaction channel. Check out Jim Reeves in Oslo Norway, sounds the same live as on his albums and judging by the audience reaction, this guy had IT. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hZt_ss98mbS3qrA.html And like Patsy he left us way too soon.

Gentleman jim reeves the man with the velvet voice

You have just discovered one of the greatest voices in country music.

Are the most recognized voices of all time Jim wrote some of eddiessongs

Jim Reeves had one of the best voices in Country music. He was such a talent. The only competitor he had for the top spot was Don Williams (my personal favorite). Thanks for doing this one for us, and best wishes in 2022.
