I agree with everything Robert said. I felt this way for many years. Somehow Jim has never gained the recognition that Johhny Cash, Patsy Cline or some other country stars have gained. Just about everyone I know has heard of Johnny and Patsy, but they have no idea who Jim is. Hard to believe this is possible. Jim was the first international country star and was the first, with the help of Chet Atkins, to develope the "Nashville Sound" and he had many top ten hits on the country charts 20 years after his death. Why have these achievements not been recognized as much as they should be?...
