Description
Velvet-voiced Jim Reeves was not only one of the worlds most popular (and enduring) recording stars, he was one of the most fascinating. Now, in this truly intimate and scrupulously well-researched 672-page biography, author Larry Jordan tells an engrossing story, taking you virtually day by day through Jims life. Over 11 years in the writing, this riveting bio is based on hundreds of interviews as well as Jims personal diaries and private correspondence. There are many intriguing -- even explosive -- revelations here, in a portrait that is honest, though sometimes painful; poignant, yet full of good humor. More than 150 rare photos depict the private as well as public side of the unforgettable "Gentleman Jim." Billboard and Country Music People have given it rave reviews, and the book has been Nominated for the prestigious Belmont Award for the Best Book on Country Music.
