Miscellaneous: Jim Reeves: Man who has sang many popular carols


You might not readily recall his name but this man has a huge fan following in India. Walk around Christian houses in India during Christmas season and you are certain to hear Jim's carols. Jim's velvety voice is a big hit in India. Young and old, Jim has captured them all since the '60s. Walk into any music store and you will find Jim's CDs or audio cassettes readily available even in 2007. Two of Reeves' songs, "There's a Heartache Following Me" and "Welcome to My World," were favorite songs of Indian guru Meher Baba, leading Baba follower Pete Townshend of The Who to record his own version of "There's a Heartache Following Me" on his first major solo album Who Came First in 1972.
