7/31/64 – Country Superstar Jim Reeves dies in a plane crash when the plane he was flying encounters a severe thunderstorm over Brentwood, Tennesee. The plane (and Reeves’ body) will be found two days later in a wooded area.
Reeves had six #1 Country Hits before he died … and five more after he was gone!
His biggest hit of all was “He’ll Have To Go,” which topped Billboard’s Top Country Singles chart for 14 weeks … and crossed over to the pop charts as well, where it peaked at #2.
