‘He’ll Have to Go’ took over country & pop charts in 1960

“He’ll Have to Go” – Jim Reeves’ Game-Changing Hit

In 1960, Jim Reeves released “He’ll Have to Go,” a smooth, emotional ballad that bridged country and pop like never before. With velvet vocals and polished production, the song became a cultural phenomenon, turning Reeves into a global star and redefining the Nashville Sound.

Written by Joe and Audrey Allison, the song was inspired by a real-life phone call overheard in a bar—its heartfelt opening line, “Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone,” captured universal emotions of love and longing. Produced by Chet Atkins, the minimal orchestration allowed Jim’s voice to shine, helping the track top the country charts and reach #2 on the pop charts.
