I'm on fire with Jim Reeves research today.

Evidently South African singer Patricia Lewis did a duet, ala Patsy Cline, with Jim's version of "Jy is My Liefling" in Afrikaans.

It is listed for sale in ITunes.

Haven't heard it yet, but appears to be a necessary download for the Jim Reeves collection.

Will stop for now.

Great to see a Jim Reeves song used in some recent films and TV shows lately. There was also an old movie from 1962 where I spotted someone taking the "According To My Heart" LP out of a bag, having just purchased it for her husband's birthday. I posted a screenshot of the scene somewhere on this form. "Welcome To My World" was also featured an an episode of the "Bette Call Saul" TV series on AMC a few years ago...

I remember the Better Call Saul episode, and the Movie "Stark Fear" which was discussed in your posting a little while ago.

I have a vague memory of a Super Bowl ad with Jim in it as well.

This song is on YouTube and available for purchase on iTunes. It is pretty good, and I will be getting it for the collection.

At least it is readily available to listen to.

This particular duet has been available on cd for a number of years.
It was used on the re-issue of the “Jy is my liefling” cd
