not nostalgia | He was a singer with a golden voice that I love to hear all the time. I was his great fan at the age of 16years in those days and still now. Although we have many singers now, but, I can vouch for Jim Reeves all the time. You feel relaxed, emotional and loving. Thank you Lord for his life. |
nostalgia | The mist beautiful voice ever I listened to him when I was a kid and still love his singing Never forgotten The voice of an angel |
nostalgia | I have most of Mr. Reeves songs. Always love his smooth voice, so comforting and sounds like the people I grew up around. They were so gentle and sweet, but I had to leave my little town to find a job at age 17. I graduated early. I never forgot how great it was to grow up with simple people who had no pretensions -- just loving and gentle, like I think Jesus is. |
not nostalgia | 30 day leave from 1st tour in Viet Nam to convince my Mary Lou to "marry me" when I came back from my 2nd tour. Now, 47 years later this December God granted the greatest blessing a man can receive. This song is for the hope of life all who have served pray for and some are granted that hope to be reality. Thank you my Mary Lou. |
nostalgia | listening to his songs reminds me of my mum who played him everyday |
nostalgia | Every time I heard this song as a child, I used to cry....because it reminded me of funerals. Now I got over that fear of death, I appreciate this song. RIP Jim Reeves, your voice still touches many souls. |
nostalgia | My dad loved listening to Jim Reeves, when I was a teenager back in the 70's didn't do it for me then, but how Time changes things. |

not nostalgia | ill bet if they begin to play this song on the radio to a new generation it could be still a hit ,,that goes for anytime in the future |
nostalgia | this song came out my senior year in high school-1966 in Texas...my girlfriend and I loved it but with a foreboding knowledge that I might not make it back to marry her..inducted into USMC as a driver/gunner of an APC-just 18 years old-took a RPG was laid up in Hawaii for months but able to walk down the aisle for our wedding in June '67 - 47 years later still married to Dianne ... we both cry like babies when we hear it |
nostalgia | A few years back picked up at a charity shop a rare colour dvd of Jim in concert in Norway in June 1964 only weeks before his death. He was also interviewed at length. |
nostalgia | I am 47 and grew up on songs of this type. I am a Muslim. His songs some are a universal praise of the One and only God can be seen in many Places, and Jim Reeves praises our lord so well, and for sure my heart follow his words and its contents. |
not nostalgia | I remember my father used to listen to Jim Reeves when I was young. I am now 64. |
not nostalgia | This song/singer has very special meaning as it was my late father's top all time favorites. As I coffin beared him into the Crematorium it was played in tribute to him. |
not nostalgia | Sir. Jim Reeves!! I love him. I'm 29 years old man from Myanmar. I was presented albums of his songs by Mr. Eric (Australia) of which I guess I could sing along at least 100 songs by now! I heard him he's a boxer as well in his college years! He's no.1 top singer of my grandpa & grandma, my daddy& mummy, and of mine, maybe next to the generation to come :) I love him, he is wonderful! |
nostalgia | It is a memory lane, I grew up listening to Jim Reeves |

nostalgia | SO BEAUTIFUL. I GET GOOSEBUMPS.THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME WHEN I WAS LITTLE.MY DAD USED TO PLAY AND DANCE WITH MY MOM..MY MOM HAS PASSED AWAY. |
nostalgia | I remember as a small child in my grandparents house listening to these great songs being played from a beautiful Gramaphone, made of rose wood with the vacuum valves it was a piece of furniture in itself, such a beautiful sound a tone that somehow cannot be replicated today Jim's voice suited it so well. |
not nostalgia | My Mother loved this man and played his music so much that I think I know every word to every song he ever made.Beautiful sounds that will never die. |
nostalgia | My late mom's favorite when I was a young boy.I still can remember the way her hums the song away everytime it was played on the radio. Miss her each time I hear this song. Miss you too dad ! God be with you both. |
nostalgia | What great memories this song brings back. I'm almost 59 and Jim Reeves was one of my favorite country singers. His untimely death in a plane crash shattered my world, but his music will live forever. |
not nostalgia | one of the best country singers of all time .lovey to voice of all time |
not nostalgia | I usually prepare the rocker sound of the 60's - but this melts my heart ! |
nostalgia | reminds me of my childhood my mum always played jim reeves on our record player she would play them till they wore out.she played this to me when I left to join the army and told me to make sure I came home in one piece . miss my mum now |
not nostalgia | Absolutely Brilliant, thanks for posting this video for people who appreciate good music, yes I'm older now, but at least I can boast that I enjoyed the days when Jim was in his element.. |
nostalgia | we never get over a loved one mum still thinking of you you were amazing mum all my love Peter this song will remind me of you while I served my country |
not nostalgia | First time I've come across a thread that is united in their appreciation. And rightly so. Great voice, beautiful music and I think it reminds us all of a more innocent time for music. Long live the great Jim Reeves. |
nostalgia | when ever we had a house party and my dad had few drinks this was song he would sing i was only 9 at the time that was 40years ago boy it brings back memories long live jim reeves |
nostalgia | Thank you so much to everyone who shares Jim. I have spent the last 7 hrs reliving my childhood...my mum's favourite. Sadly she's now died but memories will always be captured, such happy memories...thank you all |
nostalgia | If I remember correctly, this song came out after Mr. Reeves passed away. I was about 10 years old when the disc jockey said that the news just came over the wire that he died in a plane crash. |
not nostalgia | Someone says it' about a tom girl. That is a plausible interpretation, but I think it's about a boy whose three elder sisters and mother treat and raise him as a girl. "Put this wig on, little boy". Great number, one of my very favorites by the Who. |
not nostalgia | When I was 4, I knew a boy who was brought up to think he was a girl. That was in the early 1960s. |
not nostalgia | They have so many great songs. But "I'm a Boy" is still one of my favorite. |
not nostalgia | I'm reading Pete's autobiography now (well, listening to the audio book version rather) and I'm right around 1967. Fantastic! Pete is very erudite and well spoken. I'd recommend it to anyone. |
nostalgia | i am 47 from Western Australia. My husband just started to whilst this song out of the blue and I caught on straight away and sung the words from hearing my Dad sing as a child. I have not heard it in 30 years. Just beautiful. |
nostalgia | my mother and father in law loved this song. Her name was Mary and he was going into world war 2. and asked her to Mary him. They are both gone but I miss them so much. They were beautiful loving people. |
nostalgia | I was young but remember those days well and my name is Mary. I have always loved this - and I love Gentleman Jim too. |
not nostalgia | Oh dear. Another of my mum's favorite Jim Reeves songs. Takes on a different meaning now that she's gone. She heard the sound of distant drums calling her away. Tears now flowing. |
nostalgia | A great voice taken too soon. Loved listening to his music when I was a kid. So much more he had to give. |
nostalgia | I have listened to Distant Drums since my teens many years ago Jims a awesome singer love his songs God bless Jim , from Inverness |
not nostalgia | Amazing drumming. Always lifts my heart. This is a little known classic- it???s a sensational song. |
not nostalgia | never heard this song before... WOW What an amazing rhythm, what a voice??? |
nostalgia | This song always reminds me of the genesis of punk rock. |
not nostalgia | This song is about controlling parents, like mine who changed my name when I was three or four??? |
not nostalgia | I seen my childhood friends mom today and this is the song she started to sing and asked me to listen to. It's now something I just can't stop singing. |

nostalgia | my mom played this all the time in her little cafe brings back great memories. |
nostalgia | Hearing him makes me want to cry. He was my Grandmother's favorite singer, and I listened quite frequently to his music with her. His music brings back so many good memories since she passed away in September 2006. Thinking of you always Grandmother. |
nostalgia | Reminds me of my parents... in happy times.. |
nostalgia | Gosh does this bring back memories. Nearly every Sunday morning my dad would put on some Jim Reeves, Hank Williams, and/or Jones and fix us all a big breakfast of pancakes and Jimmy Dean sausage. Wish I could go back to the late 60s / early 70s again for one Sunday. |
nostalgia | Always reminds me of my granddad who liked listening to jim reeves and johnny cash. |
not nostalgia | Such a brilliant song...it's like a mix of Motown & Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. Reminds me of Robert Palmer too...would've been so nice if he had done a version of it. |
nostalgia | I remember this record very well and it makes me smile knowing I was lucky enough to live during this great era of beautifully written, produced and arranged music..The kind of music that was a real labor of love. And how sad it is to know we will never see it again.. |
not nostalgia | One of my favorites of all time. It builds to a magnificent crescendo rarely matched back then or today. |
nostalgia | Takes me back to my childhood..Loved this track.... Very beautiful |

not nostalgia | Uhh man, music like this was alive back in the day. I appreciate music like this. The 60s through the 90s I'm talking about grown folks music that magic 95.9 hardly ever play. But when they do get around playing grown folks music they wanna short cut it then play something that don't have no meaning to it like we have to be enthusiastic to enjoy it. Oh God!! |
