Jim Reeves - His untold story
I thought I knew a lot about Jim Reeves until I read Larry Jordan's book. He spent 11 years scrutenizing Reeves's life, and even traced his ancestors back to the 16th century in Germany! Some of the details from the artist's life both private and official might differ a bit from the gentleman image we're used to. In my opinion, it just shows that the music star Jim Reeves was a human being like the rest of us. That said, most people I've met that knew him said that over all he was a great guy and a caring person. Well, read the book and judge for yourself. I loved reading it.
