Jim Reeves – The Artist
James Travis Reeves (1923 – 1964) (Better known as Jim Reeves) was an American country and popular music singer and songwriter. With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville Sound. Known as “Gentleman Jim”, his songs continued to chart for years after his death in a plane crash. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame. Reeves was instrumental in creating a new style of country music that used violins and lusher background arrangements that soon became known as the Nashville Sound. This new sound was able to cross genres, which made Reeves even more popular as a recording artist. Reeves became known as a crooner because of his light yet rich baritone voice. Because of his vocal style, he was also considered a talented artist because of his versatility in crossing the music charts. He appealed to audiences that were not necessarily country/western. His catalog of songs such as “Adios Amigo”, “Welcome to My World”, and “Am I Losing You?” demonstrated this appeal.
I Love You Because – The Song
“I Love You Because” is a song written and recorded by country music singer and songwriter Leon Payne in 1949. This version by Jim Reeves was released in 1963 on the RCA Record label and is a popular addition to his many compilation albums. The song has been covered by several artists throughout the years, including hit cover versions by Al Martino, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley.
The Heart – The Shape
This record has been modelled into a Loving heart. The heart shape and its meaning has evolved over hundreds of years. Nowadays it means love but before the 13th and 14th centuries it was generally drawn for decorative purposes. People at that time thought of our hearts as books of memory and believed feelings for the beloved were somehow written on your heart.
