JIM REEVES auf ABBOTT - der Beginn

Hallo Forum!
James Travis Reeves wurde am 20. August 1923 in Galloway, Texas, geboren. Am 31. Juli 1964 kam er gemeinsam mit seinem Pianisten und Manager Dean Manuel bei einem Flugzeugabsturz in Nashville, Tennessee, ums Leben. Jim Reeves wurde von Fabor Robison, den Besitzer von ABBOTT, entdeckt und machte bei ihm seine ersten Plattenaufnahmen:

Bereits mit dem Mitchell Torok-Titel "Mexican Joe" schaffte er den ersten Platz in den Country-Charts und "Bimbo" erreichte auch noch Platz zwei. Dieser Erfolg brachte ihm 1955 einen Vertrag mit RCA Victor ein und mit diesem Label kam er auch zu uns

PS: Um genau zu sein, auch die ABBOTT 148 gab es schon bei uns, aber nur als 78er auf LONDON L 004 und auf LONDON L 20 008 zur Hälfte

Hallo Gerd,
