"Looks like Jim had better hang up."

Jim hung up forever over fifty years ago, and Jeanne Black also hung up forever, several years ago.

Before he hung up forever, Jim turned his attention away from that woman on the phone, and towards the Lord, as he sang a completely different song:

       "Take My Hand, Precious Lord, Lead Me Home" - Jim Reeves

That song was written in 1932 by Thomas "Georgia Tom" Dorsey following the death of his wife. Dorsey is the pianist on Deep Moaning Blues by Gertrude "Ma" Rainey and the Tub Jug Washboard Band (1928), which is a much bigger hit in the Internet era than it was when it was originally released.
