Do you think that it's a shame that Jim Reeves (King of Country) died so young?

He had so much more to offer. He was a brilliant singer, and though sporadic, a good songwriter too (eg "Am I Losing You?", "Yonder Comes A Sucker"). I am not at all a Patsy Cline fan, so am not too disappointed from a musical perspective, though of course it's sad and heartbreaking for anyone to die so young.
