George Klein interviews the late Dancin' Jimmy Grantham of Overton Square in Memphis, Tennessee April 15, 1981.
Dancin' Jimmy was the popular, notorious "village wino" of midtown. Recorded on the set of "Memphis Almost Alive" variety television program.
Good hearted Jimmy Edward Grantham. So quick witted, so quick on his feet - had the privilege to dance with him on several occasions. He would seek me out during the Memphis BBQs back in the 80's..we would clear the crowd in front of the stage every time. I was dancing at the time on a show called "Disco Now" JG lead with his hands..swirling, spinning..awesome dancer. Some say he knew Hugh Hefner , they worked together RR. Who could not love this man..RIP JIMMY thanks for the dances!!
