: A short time later, Jim was getting his

: radio by Jerry Wallace. Jim's barber
: recalled "he jumped up and said 'That's
: my song!'" It was Jerry Wallace,
: singing "In the Misty Moonlight."
:
: That changed Jim's opinion of the number,
: and he decided to cut it on his next
: session, which was on July 2, 1964.

: It took Jerry Wallace's fine singing to

: Jim liked Jerry very much, and I agree with
: Reeves' opinion. I'm sorry to hear Mr.
: Wallace passed away.
