Inscribed photograph signed: "Jimmy Dickens/To Robert" in
black felt. 8x10. Jimmy Dickens (1920-2015), born James Cecil
Dickens, was an American country music singer. He performed at the Grand Ole
Opry since the 1940s and was known as much for his funny novelty songs
and flamboyant, rhinestone-encrusted outfits as much for his short size - four
feet 11 inches. The 13th child of a farmer, he began performing
professionally while a student at the University of West Virginia in the late
1930s, singing on a local radio station. Originally known as Jimmy the Kid,
he first appeared on the Grand Ole Opry in 1948 and became a permanent
performer there in 1949, whenhe changed his nickname to Little
Jimmy. He's released at least one hit every decade between the 1940s and
1970s, including "Take a Cold Tater and Wait" - his first single, released
in 1949 - as well as "Out Behind the Barn" (1954), "The Violet and the Rose"
(1962) and his biggest hit, "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose"
(1965). He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1983.
Corners rounded. Ink note (unknown hand) on verso. Otherwise, fine
condition.
