Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. Reeves died in the crash of his private airplane. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame. #JimReeves #DeborahAllen #DontLetMeCrossOver #CountryClassic #RonjasCountryMusic #TheQueenOfCountry
