Jimmy Bowen's best as I recall was "Just Sitting in the Balcony." Would love to hear that one again!

[dkfelix]

It was Jimmy Dee (John D. Loudermilk) an Eddie Cohran covered it and had his first hit with it in 1957!

Jimmy you were a real gone cat. I'm a still a grovin' to this record made circa 1957 in 2010.

Rock on!

[RockRobT01]

Does anyone have "Can She Kiss" by Jimmy Bowen, but possibly it was Buddy Knox?

[dkfelix]

It was Jimmy huh!

[col1rbtx]

Bowen went on to become one of America's most successful producers. Lanier went on to a successful career as a songwriter. Knox continued playing periodically until he died at age 65, in Canada. His last performances were mostly for charity and in Rest Homes, I've read. I met him once & he was quite a nice, humble man even at age 30, after all his early sucess!

[col1rbtx]

No Buddy Knox & Jimmy Bowen were not brothers! They appear to have met in college at Canyon,Tx--c.1955. And with Donnie Lanier & a drummer they formed a rockabilly band & recorded in Clovis,NM

Thanks LynchburgSourMash for a good Rockabilly song that I had not heard before. Good Stuff!

[Dionysienne]

wow good oldies. I'm impress.

[chucknm]

Jimmy was Buddy's brother correct?

thanks for the post

Remember too that these songs were recorded on a single channel and unedited. In that regard each recording is a "live" recording. If Patsy Cline had Pro Tools to work with her albums woul have blown us away to this day.

Hello Ron Bowen. My name is Jim Lee. I teach music here at Central Arizona College with a fellow instructor named Ron Bowen he was Jimmies counsin. They grew up in Silver City New Mexico. Do you have a Jimmy Bowen Connection? We were just wondering.

[rb676]

I do not BUT you should tell Ron that he has a couple of family members looking for him! I live in Texas myself so I can understand people asking me if I'm related. Not that I know of! Ironically, I have only just recently deleted all of my youtube emails or I would forward them to you. :(

[bandrunner57]

Wow that was a fast reply. I guess I should have said he IS (not was) Jimmies cousin

[spacepatrolman]

Ill trade my Steve Lawrence 45 for Buddy Knox on the Triple D Label.
