Jim
Reeves, the great singer of 1960's has featured here twice with two
of his popular numbers, 'Bimbo' and He'll have to go. This week we
have another very popular number from him, “Distant Drums."
This song provided Jim Reeves, who was a US singer with his only UK
number one hit – albeit posthumously – in the United Kingdom in
1966, some two years after his death in a plane crash on 31 July
1964.The song remained in the UK Singles Chart for 45 weeks. The
single also topped the US country chart for four weeks, becoming his
most successful posthumous single. Distant Drums perhaps gained in
popularity because of the on-going hostilities in the Vietnam War and
an increased public awareness of the difficult conditions faced by
U.S. armed personnel fighting in that conflict.
