Ned Miller had passed away on March 18 at age 90. His Capitol output was very nice. It's too bad that stage fright got the better of him. We would have had a lot more music otherwise.

Here's the article from Rolling Stone:

It was a Ned Miller song that turned me toward Jimn Reeves music: "Snow Flake"

All true JR fans know that he recorded a version of Ned's song (From a Jack.....) while in South Africa no less. Read about all the details in Larry's book in the chapter entitled "Kimberley Jim".Very interesting to say the very least.The book is a must have for all JR fans. Cheers

Ned was a fantastic songwriter. But I love his singing as well. His recordings for Capitol Records are great!

"Do What You Do Do Well," "Invisible Tears," "Dark Moon," and so many other great numbers were recorded. Sadly, none of those Capitol recordings have been released on CD. Bear Family did release a collection of Ned's Fabor recordings, but I don't like them as much as I like the Capitol output.

I like "Dark Moon". And I like "A Fallen Star". But my favorite Ned Miller song is "Snowflake". Loved it the first time I heard Jim sing it, and I still love it.
