James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. With records
charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music
with elements of popular music). Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. Reeves died in the crash of
his private airplane. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame.
