Title: Jimmy Jones - Handy Man Post by: Lowbacca on October 17, 2012, 03:10:45 PM Not much to say about it actually, I'm just so in love with this tune, man. :3d
VIDEO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWcSvjr70II) Anyone got something like his collected recordings on CD, or something? Be sure to check out the great Del Shannon's neat cover version, as well. Title: Re: Jimmy Jones - Handy Man Post by: EgoHanger1966 on October 17, 2012, 04:01:16 PM I have his album (vinyl). Fairly rare. I haven't listsned to it in a while but I don't remember anything beyond the two hits (funilly enough, his other hit was called Good Timin'!). He passed away this summer IIRC. I'll have to give it a spin.

Title: Re: Jimmy Jones - Handy Man Post by: Lowbacca on October 19, 2012, 08:43:35 AM Good to discover another artist, I never even heard such name - Jimmy Jones. Need to say, he's an excellent dancer. Always thought that people in the 50s & the 60s couldn't dance at all. As for the song, I liked it, also top falsetto! Thanks, Lowbacca! Being a fan of Del Shannon, I'll look forward to checking his cover of Handy Man. If you're able to acquire Shannon's Live in England LP - do it!

Essential listening :)
