Jimmy Jones was born June 2, 1937 in Birmingham, Alabama. This R&B singer only had four songs on the Billboard charts. Interestingly, his first two releases were both Top Five and also Gold Records. His next two songs barely scratched the surface of the Top 100, peaking at 83 and 85.It's interesting that his two big hits have become such classics and have been covered by other recording artists over time, while his other two releases ended up becoming somewhat obscure.
I think it could end up being a bit of a tight race for the winner this week on Voice Your Choice. Treasure Island Oldies presents Jimmy Jones on Voice Your Choice with his two Top Five hits: Handy Man and Good Timin'. Cast your vote at the Voice Your Choice page.
We'll play the winning song in the third hour of next week's show.
