Gentleman Jim Reeves: The Story of a Legend

The Story of a Legend- How True. It is over 50 years since Jim Reeves was killed in a plane crash. His music lives on but without this incredible movie, few people would remember what the real Jim Reeves was like. The addition of 17 of his best songs is truly a bonus.For anyone who enjoys good music, country music in particular- this DVD is a must. Brilliant.

Learned things i didn't know and enjoyed knowing them.You can't go into any music store with a country sectionand not find Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline recordingsThey were great.I happend to be stationed in Japan when Jim died. Iwas attending a show by his cousin Del Reeves andDel did a good show but you could tell he was verybroken up about Jim's death. The show has to go on.

Jim Reeves has always been my utmost favorite singer of all times. There are a lot of great singers from the past and present, but nobody's voice has made me sigh from the first note to the last of anything he sang. That voice will never be replicated. This video is a great prize to have for anyone that is a fan of Jim Reeves. Although I was astounded to learn that he was more popular in Africa than he was here. He most assuredly should have had more fans here and am very grateful to Mary, his wife, for continuing to put out songs he had taped before his untimely death in 1964.

On YouTube there are some Gospel Collections of Jim Reeves where you can listen for 2-hrs to just gospel songs. I recently discovered him and found I loved his gospel songs. I just got my DVD yesterday and haven't watched it yet, will update this review later. But wanted to say, since I don't see that anyone else has, that the DVD has a 50-min bio, and also 45-min of songs. It doesn't look like any of the included songs are gospel songs.

For my older sister who enjoyed his music immensely as a young adult. She was very pleased with this documentary.

This is a very enjoyable video about Jim Reeves. Another music star who lost their like to soon. If your into REAL country music, you will enjoy seeing this one about Mr. Reeves.

This DVD made me love Jim Reeves even more. I grew up listening to him Country and Gospel songs. Therefore I just had to get this DVD. The songs were beautiful and the recollections were touching. Love it

Very disappointing. Poor poor quality. No effort to improve quality of music.

A must for all jim reeves fans

Very pleased

He's a favorite music artist of ours. Enjoy the DVD very much and havw watched it many times over.

I bought this DVD of Gentleman Jim Reeves because I love his voice. I have some of his CD's but not a DVD and wanted to add that to my library. Seeing him sing and hearing him talk added some dimension to an already great person. The quality is not the best but it's worth watching him perform live.
