Elton John has made no secret of the fact that he admired Jim Reeves. In fact, I once saw an interview with him on TV (possibly done by David Frost) in which he recounted how he was getting nowhere as a lounge singer until one night someone asked him to sing "He'll Have To Go." The pub erupted with such enthusiasm that he began incorporating Jim's material into his act and he credited this with helping him get his start.
