Jim Reeves (1923 - 1964), known affectionately as 'Gentleman Jim', was a country singer known for his velvety voice. Through his unique style, which fused the laidback style of crooners such as Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby with country material, he brought country music to a whole new audience. He was also one of the first to bring country music to places outside of America, gaining widespread popularity in Britain, Europe, South Africa and India. His prolific career was cut tragically short in 1964 by a plane crash. However, even after his death, his popularity did not wane and he continued to have hits some years after his death, with previously unreleased songs and remastered earlier material.

Blue Christmas Lyrics
Jim Reeves
(You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,)
(But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.)
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me.
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue heartaches start callin'
You'll be doin' all right with you Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas.
--- Instrumental ---
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That's when those blue heartaches start callin'
You'll be doin' all right with you Christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas...
