Durchschnittliche Country-Ballade. Die Harfe nervt etwas. Wirkt wie so oft in dieser Zeit schmalzig-schmierig.
*****
▒ Één van zijn grootste en mooiste Countryhits in Holland scoorde "Jim Reeves" begin mei 1964 met deze mooie "I Love You Because" !!! Maarliefst 35 weken lang (# 9) stond de plaat vermeld in de Hollandse hitlijsten !!! Een zeer mooi resultaat !!! Triest is dat hij omkwam bij een vliegtuigongeluk, 31 juli 1964 !!! Vooruit 5 sterren ☺!!!

Gut!
****
Nette Ballade
***
1x gehört im Leben und weg damit
*
Deze slome plaat van Jim Reeves is om ver weg in een hoekje te verstoppen.
****
Aus dieser Zeit MUSS das ja schmalzig sein; recht ordentliche Stimme, der gute Jim Reeves.
***
muss gar nicht, schließlich herschte schon die Beatle-mania. und trotzdem ein Doppelsieg für Reeves 1964, damit die #1 des jahres (!!) und auf #2 ebenfalls Jim Reeves..
***
langweiliges Liebesgesäusel aus den 60er - knappe 3*...damit 1964 13 Wochen auf #1 in Norwegen (38 Wochen notiert, in der ewigen Bestenliste auf #2 zu finden - toll ist es bestimmt nicht, kriegt selbstverständlich eine ungenügende Wertung)...

Romantische song van Jim en een dikke hit in Nederland.
*****
eine schöne Ballade
***
...weniger...
****
duidelijk een van de bekendere songs van "Jim" in Nederland, maar eigenlijk de B-Kant van "Waltzing On Top Of The World" welk nummer ook ver de betere van de twee is.<br><br>Voor mij een ultiem voorbeeld van onervarenheid bij Nederlandse Radiomakers (promoters) waar het country-muziek betreft.<br><br>

hm, ich dachte diese wunderschöne Liebeserklärung kommt hier besser weg, am Anfang fand ich das auch langweilig, aber nach mehrmaligem Reinhören kommt das wirklich sehr einschmeichelnd und eingängig rüber - 4.5*<br><br>in UK war das Stück sogar 39 Wochen in den Charts, dafür ist es in den USA nie aufgetaucht<br>
******
Great song! Love it!
*****
Einer seiner schönsten Balladen ! Deutsche Version: Hanna Doelitsch - Ich möchte dich ein Leben lang verwöhnen [ I Love You Because ] (1963)
*****
Gefällt mir gut
****
<br>Eine süsse Ballade. <br>War wohl sein grösster Hit in UK #5 und war 39 Wochen lang in den Charts!
****
Corny but it has a great melody
****
Befriedigendes Lied aus der MC: "The Best Of".
**
Oje, auch der Geschmack der Norweger konnte manchmal ganz schön daneben sein, ich finde den Song viel zu schmalzig und heute kaum mehr hörbar! Klingt sowas von altbacken!
