Hi Music lovers, I think most of you heard the American country songs and pop music from Jim Reeves fondly called Gentleman Jim was a singer-song writer and I love his song "I love you because","Mexican Joe" and "Bimbo" very much. His greatest hit was "He'll have to go". He became famous internationally for his pioneering smooth Nashville Sound.He was more popular in South Africa that his popularity was more than Elvis Presley and recorded several albums in Afrikaans. He starred in a film called Kimberly Jim made in South Africa. His songs made him famous in Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, India and Srilanka. He died at the age of 40 in a private airplane crash on July 31st in the year 1964. His body was recovered after two days, that was on 2nd of August 1964. Still he lives in the heart of many music lovers all over the world. Please tell me which song do you like the most from this great singer?
