I was in high school when this record came out and the first time I heard it, it blew me away! I thought it was the most awesome single ever! I even lip-synched this record at the Christmas show we had at my high school ever year. I did this one when I was a sophomore. I really worked it with my dancing talents. I did several rockabilly singles while in school. Dale Hawkins, Eddie Cochran, and I even lip-synched "Diddy-Wah-Diddy" that Bo Diddley put out. I had a ball doing these.
He was amazing, no doubt we still feel him. As an artist myself, I channel him when I create and perform. Much Love Cousin Jimmy, I´m proud to share blood.
Jimmy also called Kenny by his kin folk was from Gulfport Ms. I have a book on him written by his kin.By the way he is my wifes first cousin. Sad the way he died.Took his own life but wrote a song and recorded it titled( I'm to blame) about what he planned.
Thanks for posting this great song. I`ve just dicovered The Man`s talent on a LP from the local Flea Market . LOL. I`ve got to find his singles for my Bal-Ami Juke !

Im from Gulfport, Ms. My Dad used to sing his songs to me when I was a kid. He told me stories about JD and the late 50's.

A great talent. His life was much too short but he managed to leave his mark on the music world.
