Untitled[edit]

The crash that so tragically claimed the life of Jim Reeves and hais Manager Dean Manual wa in fact so severe that it had partially buried the engine of the Beechcraft Debonair that Reeves was piloting at the time and indeed Reeves was identified by his drivers licence at the scene.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.69 (talk) 15:58, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Date[edit]

The date of birth is given variously in the main article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.174.184 (talk) 13:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Character[edit]

I do not mean to speak ill of the dead but I am curious about a quote I read.

In the book "The Book of Rock Quotes" compiled by Jonathan Green, published by Omnibus Press in 1977, there is the following quote:

"They think they know the real Jim Reeves from a bit of wax. This "Gentleman Jim" bit that suddenly came about - the perfect gentleman - he wasn't like this at all... The other side of his character is better left unsaid, the fans don't want to hear it." - David Bussey, secretary of the Jim Reeves fan club.

Anyone have any information on what Bussey was talking about? I am a fan of Jim Reeves but I am curious about Bussey was talking about. Maybe he was just full of sour grapes but I do not know.—Preceding unsigned comment added by DJParker39 (talk • contribs) 22:31, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was a documentary shown on British television about him in the 1990s which was critical of his personal life (allegations of serial infidelity and wife-beating ) as well as allegations of racism. I can't find any details of the programme but possibly the same sources/issues covered in the biography Like a Moth to a Flame: The Jim Reeves Story by Michael Streissguth (I haven't read it, but the reviews on Amazon indicate it's not a hagiography). Infidelity and wife-beating are also alluded to in the obituary of Jims wife[here] although this appears to be based on material from the Streissguth book. I would assume that these must be the same issues that David Bussey alludes to. Mighty Antar (talk) 02:52, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Jimreevesorange.jpg[edit]

Image:Jimreevesorange.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mexican Joe link leads to an irrelevant article[edit]

Just sayin' s'all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.227.143.156 (talk) 03:36, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Marty Robbins[edit]

There are several websites that claim that country musician Marty Robbins, who lived in Brentwood, actually heard the fatal plane crash.

An editor with knowledge of the crash and/or Robbins should favorably consider adding an appropriate passage to the article. 72.82.164.40 (talk) 10:01, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Location of Death[edit]

The location of his death is given to be at the corner of Baxter Lane and Franklin Pike Circle. While this is very close to Brentwood, and therefore Williamson County, this intersection is actually just inside the Nashville city limits, or Davidson County. Should this be changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hesterm77 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
