when I was a boy working in the fields on the tractor I used to sing Jim reeves songs at the top of my lungs ----goood thing the tractor was noisey so I didnt scare the locals he was my favorite singer
I used to sing when I was dressing my tomato garden, the only working place I was alone. I was imagining how nice it will be to love someone the same way Jim Reeves was singing.
What a precious soul. His music lives on. I found a treasure trove of lp's just abandoned at a thrift store. I bought them for 50 cents a piece. I hope that a country music artist can do an updated tribute. He had so many valuable songs what a true artist and living legend.
Ahh, the memories. I grew up in the late 50s and 60s. The duclet tones of that beautiful baritone voice often filled our home, as Jim Reeves was my mom's favorite. I taught her to appreciate the Beatles and Buddy Holly while she taught me to appreciate the great country crooners. Rest in peace, mom. I still get choked up and miss you so much every time I hear this song.
I remember all the oldies that came through my radio on a small 12 inch black and white tv..Im 83 and I still love them. Thank you You Tube for bringing these wonderful old songs to us.. God bless you❤️❤️🙏🙏
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
After my grandmother passed away, I heard my mum listen to this song. She told me that my grandparents used to sing this to each other, because they did love each other with all their heart. The song was played at my grandmother's funeral and it's made me smile and cry ever since.
I agree with all the nice comments below , this was also my fathers favourite singer it brings back fond and loving memories of a wonderful happy childhood. More like him please in the world
This was my father's favourite singer and everytime I hear Jim sing, it brings me back to those early years when his music was played in our household. My dad passed away almost 15 years ago and I miss him to this day, but this music will always remind me of the great man who was my father.
TheHighlander1960 mine too, then when momma passed, he'd sing it to me. now, they're both gone but if I ever want to hear his voice, I listen to this song, daddy sang just like him!
Hmm yeah ... childhood the best phase of life.. everyday I remember those days and get the inspiration for my future .. my fav childhood song is Sliver from Nirvana
this is one of his best tracks i know the words off by heart what a talent he was quality singer one of the best he up there with jhonny cash better than the music of today by a mile
My Father was able to sing this to my Step mom from his bed on Friday December 17th. He died earlier this morning December 22, 2021. I love you dad. You made me cry.

"Gentlemen Jim" will live on through his vast recording of musical treasures! His super smooth voice is unmatched even today. Oh what a talent that was silenced way to soon! We miss you Jim...thank God, we still have your wonderful songs and recordings!!
It may be that Jim Reeves sang it before Elvis but Elvis´ version is the most well-known. Jim Reeves had a wonderful voice, I remember him from the 60´s but another kind of singer than Elvis who was an innovator.
I saw him live in Lethbridge Alberta years ago and when his band took a break he ( the star himself ) stayed on stage and played an acoustic guitar and sang his voice was just as beautiful on his own in huge building
wow...my grandad also loved jim reeves ;) he would always play his guitar and sing this song...his voice sounded so much like jim reeves! he recently passed away, and this is the first time i could listen to the song and be happy, without bawling.
Such a wonderful man with a great voice!!!! Happy childhood memory watching and listening to "gentlemen jim" with you daddy...know this was one of your favorite songs and I remember you singing along with that "twinkle" in your eyes!! Miss you so!!!!
My dad listened to Jim. Somehow I am still able to love the music. Somehow over all the evil my own family did to me for so many years. Music is lovely like that. In memory it has a purity to it that can heal..
This beats the more modern versions of a song by the same name. I tried several, seeking what I know and love, and who better than Jim Reeves to provide exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for posting this.
the golden days of my life ,never forget jim Reeves the year 1960 was a very good year for jimmy everyone went mad for his songs, there will never ever be another Jimmy, his songs were allways a very big celebrazioni and of cause he was very very well know all over the world those days o yes those were the golden days iam now 68 years of age and allways playing his beautifull songs, thank you jimmy for your beautifull songs .R.i.P. amen.
my husband sang this to me when he was in i.c.u. in the hospital he passed away a couple weeks later in hospice. we loved this song. makes me cry. i miss him so much.

I sang on tractor too.
Bad news, your voice carries better that the tractor.
You could be heard.
Jim was greatest.
I used to sing when I was dressing my tomato garden, the only working place I was alone. I was imagining how nice it will be to love someone the same way Jim Reeves was singing.
Haha..so... Are you now a great singer too? 😂😂😂
The very important thing is...just deliver your gift before you experience death
My mother would sing this to us kids.Not on a tractor 🚜 lol😊

I lost my husband of 67 years in January. He liked this song.
No acts no props,what more can we ask for. It's so great,greater.
He was my dad's favorite singer. I am in Tanzania.
Jim's rendition of this timeless classic will forever haunt my memories.
Golden voice that mesmerizes you the moment you hear it.
I remember listening to this song when I was a child, not on WIFI, but on my parent's HiFi.

My husband is obsessed with this song. He sings it to me all the time. Which is nice. Or would be, if he could sing. :-D
Does anyone else think Tom Hanks would be perfect to play him in a biopic? Then again,how could anyone replicate that utterly unique voice?
What a BEAUTIFUL voice!

I am singing this to my husband at our wedding and to our babies as a lullaby someday🖤😙
Like Elvis, Jim Reeves never sang any song badly, and this is a wonderful version of this great tune.
It is good to hear of marriages that lasted over 60 years.
I'm 26 and I love Jim Reeves. Here's to 2025. 🥂
Always nice to hear Jim Reeves
