A tribute song to Jim Reeves by the Irish country singer Larry Cunningham (and the Mighty Avons). The song was a single released in 1964 shortly after Jims death (King Record label KG1016), and it was also found on the album 'The Two Sides of Larry Cunningham'.
I remember hearing this song on the gramophone in my Auntie's house in the mid 60's and thinking how sad it was.

Just heard the news of just now of Larry's passing and he will be remembered fondly by a certain generation of Irish people as the man who made the breakthrough in the UK charts with this tribute to the legend Jim Reeves....RIP Larry

This was the song that started it all for Larry Cunningham. I don't think that there will ever again be anyone like him. He also had great respect for old Irish songs.

Never heard this since 1964. Always loved it. Larry did a great job. It is said that his ambition was to be half as good as Jim Reeves. Mine too.

A beautiful tribute to a great singer by another equally good singer . May they both rest in peace now beyond the rainbow's end. The world has lost two beautiful people but their memories will live on in their songs !

My mum had this single and I used to listen to it when I was a kid. I really loved the B side - Larry's version of Precious Lord, Take My Hand which I think is better than Jim Reeves' version.
