(on producing records with Jim Reeves, aka "Gentleman Jim", who joined RCA in 1955 after recording several years for Abbott Records) When I first met and started working with him, he was singing too high. He was a great baritone, but he wasn`t a very good tenor. I always tried to keep him down in a low key, because when he did that, he sounded wonderful to me. He knew I liked it when he sang in that low key, but occasionally he`d kid me a little and pitch it up a little too high.
