Jimmy Elledge is a great singer, artist on piano, and performer. He is a close personal friend of my mom.... so sad... he had a stroke a few years ago and can no longer perform... please continue to remember and celebrate his music and keep him in your prayers....

[jllorigins]

So Willie Nelson didn't do the first recording?

[maynardcat]

@jllorigins No he wrote the song,and sang it later

[littlebutterfly19]

I've been singing this with my band for the past two months... LOVE IT!

[PKingman]

Strange that Jimmy Elledge never had another hit. There's still time. He's still alive.

[punawilliams]

This is the best singer for this song. Where is he now?

[punawilliams]

This is truly an awesome song especially sung by this person. Yeah man cool

[rickwalkerjr]

I do love this song and it's been a lifelong dream to own a Seeburg that played 200 records (or a Wurlitzer 1050 that plays both 78s and 45s)

[rickwalkerjr]

its so awesome to listen to this song on such a beautiful machine, thanks!!!

[oooowwwwdddd]

LOL

[cajunhornet60]

Great song thanx for posting!!

[Lakota305]

Those early Seeburgs using the valve amps had such a nice sound for their time. Nothing else came close and I've serviced everything from Wurlitzer's to Rock Ola's.

[skaldes]

wow, does this bring back memories. wish I could have seen him performing it. anyway, thanx for the post

[Featureman]

Jimmy was so great. I have some of his records. I really like A Golden Tear. I think

Jimmy still performs after some health problems.

[boxfett]

Great song. Saw him sing many times in Monroe.

[billeagle51]

Willie sure has a way about words...hits the spot!

[gringo178586]

jimmy elledge is from pineville, louisiana. willie nelson wrote it. others made versions BUT JIMMY WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE AND THE BEST ONE THAT RECORDED IT...........BELIE DAT!

[dantiger]

This is the ONLY true version.

[looktooker]

Nifty Keen.........Thank You.

You do not have to put money in the jukebox, but it is not on free play. I devised a way to activate the selection mechanism from the keyboard so it is easy to play.

[usahorse721]

Do you still have to put money in the jukebox or did you rig it up to where you don't have to?

[hoppolong]

This guy was great as well.great song !!
