Gentleman Jim Reeves was perhaps the biggest male star to emerge out of the Nashville sound. His mellow baritone voice and muted velvet orchestration combined to create a sound that echoed around his world and has lasted to this day. From 1955 through 1969, Reeves was consistently in the country and pop charts, an amazing feat in light of his untimely death in an airplane accident in 1964. After his death, his fan base didn't diminish at all, and several of his posthumous hits actually outsold his earlier singles; no less than six number one singles arrived in the three years following his burial. ~ David Vinopal
