James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter, very popular until today, record charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, who, since the end of the 1950s, is well-known for being a practitioner of the new established, so-called Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Known as Gentleman Jim, his songs continued to score the charts for years after his untimely death. Jim died at age 40 in a private airplane crash. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame.
