This kind of reminds me of that old Dire Straits tune.. Money for Nothing (but no chicks for free...) He is ''Gentleman'' Jim Reeves, the crooner with the velvet voice who transcended his country music roots and continues to captivate fans worldwide, almost 40 years after dying in a plane crash. It is a lasting popularity that has turned Reeves who helped launch the legendary ''Nashville Sound'' with such hits as Four Walls, He'll Have to Go and Welcome to My World into a substantial revenue generator to the tune of at least $400,000 per year, according to royalty statements made available to The Tennessean. Can someone dead 40 years make $400,000 / yr? |
