Jimmy Jones - Handy Man

[Lowbacca]

Not much to say about it actually, I'm just so in love with this tune, man.

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.

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.

Jimmy Jones recorded a great version of Don't You Just Know It. You might remember the Huey Smith one.

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!



Nice live version of "Handy Man" on there, too.
