#99 This Is It – Jim Reeves
In some cases, instant success does not appear right when we want it to. The song was the second posthumous release to become a hit. There is no doubt that the composition is impressive, but it needed some time to get to the public. Once it did, it got the credit it deserved.
It was a revolution at the time for the country scene, which is probably why the song got so successful. It stayed for almost twenty-two weeks on the charts and became a staple for the industry. Jim Reeves’ inedible song became a milestone for the future generation of country songs.
