B/w 10x8. 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 slightly worn and
creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
