Le componenti di una voce sono tante: il timbro , l'estensione vocale , la potenza , la musicalità ecc. ecc. Il timbro di Rives era spettacolare , pochi cantanti hanno avuto una voce altrettanto piacevole, uno è un Italiano : Fabrizio de Andrè. Comunque si ,una delle più belle voci in assoluto!
The untimely passing of Jim Reeves left a big void in the world of music. He is not easily forgotten and we are the less without him. This great song befits our memories of him.
I heard this song in 1966 when I was 16 YEARS old.I often listened to the song when driving to the Griffith Park Observatory in LOS Angeles to see the star show It was the best year of my life. Jim Reeves is my favorite singer and as I listen to his songs I remember a time of peace and happiness.
My grandparents were a beautiful pair of dancers. When grandpa died we arranged a tribute pair to perform a waltz to this song at his funeral. It was beautiful.
O Jim, your songs brings tears to my eyes any time I listen to them, they remind me of so many things, keep resting in the Lord, until the resurrection day,
@Greg Normal sorry for the delay in replying, I love lmost of Jim's songs, these are some of them , I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU. ADIOS AMIGO, I'M JUST CALLING TO SAY IT'S OVER, AM I THAT EASY TO FORGET, LAST NIGHT WAS THE WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE NO DOUBT, YEH, I'M GONNA CHANGE EVERYTHING, AND MANY MORE.
I've been playing this beautiful number for my granddaughter since she was about 18 mths old. Today she asked me what the song's actually about. Once I explained it to her, she listened avidly as tears rolled down her cheeks....the meaning behind the lyrics and Gentleman Jim's gorgeous voice deeply touched her 8 year old heart, just as it did mine when I heard it many moons ago as a child. Watching together from Aotearoa New Zealand.
My grandma asked me b4 she died to play this song the day for her funeral this was her favorite song ... It brings tears to my eyes listening to it now continue to rest with our ancestors ♥️♥️♥️
This story moves me a lot because this song was the last song of my grandpas funeral , and so his last message for me. So when I think about him I come here for some kind of guidance from my grandpa. I was really touched by your story and I am happy to read that there is someone elses who feels the same pain and comfort while listening to this song. I hope it may help you in the future♥️
My life's most Admirable singer... I have listened almost all of his favorite songs... Felt very much shocked when he left the world in a plane crash at his early age... May his soul rest in Peace 🙏His songs remain for ever in the hearts of future Generation also🌹🌹🌹
My parents played music w Jim in the 60's. My youngest brother was named Jim Reeves after him. He had the most beautiful voice ever in country. RIP Jim Reeves & Jim Reeves W.
What an unbelievable singer with an unbelievable voice. And the words of his songs touch the heart. Sorry God take him at such a young age but I know he is in heaven with God.
Yes, you tube, is my only entertainment i have, and only on my phone, I don't have internet nor computer, all the compines out there will not run a line to my home only 100yrds, to the closest connection. What a shame here in America 🇺🇸 😕 😞
I was only a child, was born exactly one month after his tragic death, but I grew up listening to him, and remember how i loved this song. How glorious it is so many years later, to actually be able to see him sing it live. Thank you for posting this.
I'm a German in Argentina. Argentines don't know this song, but each and every one who listened to it (with my translation) loved it. It's such a beautiful melody, and the lyrics are superb. Gracias, thanks, danke.
My grandfather often sing this when he doing a live music on his friend's restaurant, it was beautiful yet sad, he passed away one year ago, now I got his 12 strings guitar and tried to play this song at evening
Keep at it. You will be happy and satisfied if you stay with it. My cousin is a session player specializing in steel guitar. When I was a young feller, he and his sister played the 12 string guitar. I had never seen that, but he was a wizard with anything stringed. His name is Tom Mortensen. Heck of a guy. Look him up.
I so remember when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s my parents used to play Jim Reeves songs. I am in my 40s and I still remember those songs. Just beautiful...
Jim Reeves, we love you and hope to see you in heaven. we enjoy listening to your songs ever since. My first time was when I was 15 years old, 1971 and now I am 62 still listening to it. I like it so much whether I am down or up.
I listened to this song in 1964 in England. Early this morning it was an “ear worm” going round and round in my brain. All the words coming back to me and his voice joined in. Lovely.
ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS THIS WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. I WAS HOOKED THE FIRST TIME I HEARD HIM SING GUILTY. THAT WAS FOUR DECADES AGO AND I STILL CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF JIM REEVES" MUSIC.
Ah - the times when it wasn't the fashion for dry ice, laser lights, frantic dancing and skimpy costumes, and what you needed was a beautiful voice and sincerity! Just lovely, thanks for posting this. For all those we have loved and are no longer with us.
Today exactly 50 years are gone since Jim Reeves tragically died in an airplane accident (July 31st, 1964). After half a century, his velvet bariton voice still lives on in his timeless music. It has become world cultural heritage.
One the most under rated singers ever. Hits the tone and pitch all the time. Clear and very strong voice. Jim could almost sing anything beautifully...
Respectfully, I say this. As a man of the Welsh valleys, WALES,UK. This guy called Elvis, was a gift, chosen by our lord Jesus. TO SING. a d bring joy and love to the world. God Bless elvis . And humbly. Jesus I love you x
Jim Reeves is the best and I will never hear a beautiful voice like him he will remain the greatest and no one will be more better than him R.I.P. Mr . Jim Reeves we will one day meet in heaven.
@@maiyomarionne7321 you certainly would be when JESUS is your Saviour and King, James Travis Reeves would be one of many you will see in His Kingdom, Heaven.
A B-E-A-U-T-F-U-L song done by one of the GREATEST SINGERS of all times! A voice so unique - velvet like is the right word to describe Jim's voice.........miss u Jim. Thanks for sharing Paulo1.

First heard him in 1963 that I remember I was 6 or 7 next year mum said he died I remember it well I said I have to get his songs with my pocket money two years ago I was still saving as I didn't have a record player until I was 9 and I heard him singing distant drums I begged mum to let me go to the TV shop with her I asked to take all my savings and bought it has always been my favourite singer his rich baritone voice as he says every word properly and with thought 64 now I grew up with rolling stones living and playing doors from me my sister dated mick jager for a few months until he got famous. Gentleman Jim Reeves simply the best.
My mum's favourite singer. Always played his records when I was growing up in the 70's. We've just lost her and my sister asked me to check out a song for her funeral and I've just spent an hour watching and listening to his delightful songs. Such a wonderful singer.
The first time I heard Gentleman Jim Reeves singing this I was tuned into XERA Del Rio Texas in 1953 (when we could hear the North American AM stations). That would be 65 years ago. I remember it well! I went out and bought the 78 next day.
I moved away and this my song and has been for along time listing to this music it gives me a lift good to my heart thank you so much for the songs keep playing them for me thank you you tube and country collection I am very pleased from roberta
when I was stationed in the United Kingdom during the 60's Jim Reeves was the most played singer over there. I actually think the Brits loved him more than we did .
A song worth of a perfect treatment under his rich baritone voice, whistling & charm, which has remained a craze with me like many others, since my young days!!
Mijn Opa , Bert van der Lee, was een groot fan van Jim Reeves... Zoals ik me nu realiseer, herkende hij zichzelf in de teksten van Gentlemen Jim... destijds had ik dat niet door... het nummer Adios Amigo, hebben we gedraaid bij zijn uitvaart, en nog steeds krijg ik kippevel bij het horen van dit nummer ! Mijn opa, mijn held, mijn maatje, mijn vriend voor altijd ! Elke dag van mijn verdere leven zal ik hem blijven herinneren en missen ! Voor Opa ....boven....
Is this the most beautiful singing voice ever?
yes.

So true. The reason that use the gimmicks is because they don't have the talent.
