Oops! Sorry for that gaffe. My daughter-in-law's name is Lea; so I made the wrong assumption because of the different spelling.

I've been a Reeves fan since 1957, and no voice comes close to matching his superb vocals. I believe that the only female voice suitable for duetting or harmonising with Jim was Anita Kerr's; and even that should have preferably been done when he was alive. Posthumous overdubbing of a duet partner lacks the spontaneity of the interplay between the two voices. This is evident when you compare the genuine "live" duets Jim and Dottie West recorded with the posthumous overdubs featuring Deborah Allen and Patsy Cline.
