Another guy with that nostalgia factor of the mid 80s for me - Lionel Richie. Same reason, was gifted a cassette of his songs.

I must have missed this whole group of people ( genre as it were) given the fact that I grew up in Hong Kong and was surrounded by 80's music and when i arrived in India it was the reign of Deep Purple, Zepplin etc..

*giggle* @ Englebert Humperdink

India and Sri Lanka[edit]
Reeves had many fans in both India and Sri Lanka since the 1960s, and is probably the all-time most popular English language singer in Sri Lanka.Template:Http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/jim+reeves/biography.html His Christmas carols are especially popular, and music stores continue to carry his CDs or audio cassettes.[citation needed] Two of his songs, "There's a Heartache Following Me" and "Welcome to My World," were favorites of the Indian spiritual teacher Meher Baba.[citation needed] A follower of Meher Baba, Pete Townshend of the Who, recorded his own version of "Heartache" on his first major solo album Who Came First during 1972.[7]
Robert Svoboda, in his trilogy on aghora[disambiguation needed] and the Aghori Vimalananda, mentions that Vimalananda considered Reeves a gandharva, i.e. in Indian tradition, a heavenly musician, who had been born on Earth. He had Svoboda play Reeves' "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" at his cremation.[8][9]
