"the number one song in 1966 was distant drums, an overdubbed demo recording that jim recorded as a demo in 1961 that chet atkins said wasn,t the right time to release that song because of the vietnam war. the songwriter was cindy walker and when she went to rcas studio with mary reeves and first heard distant drums she was totally shocked to hear an overdubbed version.cindy wrote songs especially for jim reeves as jim was her and the worlds favorite singer.enjoy the most beautiful voice god ever gave toa human being this song knocked the beatles off the top of the charts in britain and jim forever will be remembored as the man who beat the beatles"
