Mid-Week Song Twofer

 

We're going to the dusty baaaack of the rack for this birthday tribute to the late Jimmy Jones. He had two big hits here and in the UK in 1960, "Handy Man" (which he co- wrote) and "Good Timin'" that had infectious melodies and lyrics, that were elevated by his vocal range and style. Enjoy them both.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this tribute !! I was 12 y.o. in Fla. I had the greatest luxury in my world at that time, Radio !! Oh, and the record player. And, later, American Bandstand !! JJ was the BEST !! Loved his 2 Biggest tunes. When you had the 45, you could play it over & over & over, again !
I had the coolest parents EVER!! Never objected to MY "luxuries" of my choice of music. The neighbors, maybe, Ha Ha, but I never knew about it!
Damn, was that Fella Handsome as heck !!!!!!
