Robert, I know I've seen the clip of Jim on "The Steve Allen Show". I think Jim sang "Four Walls" and Steve gave him a big introduction. I'm pretty sure that this clip is featured in "The Jim Reeves Anthology" DVD that Larry released. Roy, never knew that "Welcome To My World" was used that many times. I only knew about a few of them. And I never knew about "Blue Skies" used in the Camera commercial.The only other time I can add where a song by Jim was used was in the Richard Dreyfuss film "Let It Ride". There's a scene where Dreyfuss is sitting in a bar, and Jim's "He'll Have To Go" is heard playing on the jukebox. I know an Eddy Arnold song was also heard in this scene, although I can't recall which song it was.There could very well be other TV shows or movies that Jim was featured in that we're not aware of. Good to hear that "Welcome To My World" was used quite a few times, but it would be nice to hear of other Jim songs being used as well. Jim recorded so many great songs, and there's no need to be using the same song over and other again, even though it's a wonderful recording. So Refreshing to hear that "Blue Dkies" was used in the camera commercial.
