Description
Glossy disc. See photos. Visually graded only. Has not been play tested. This is an old item and is sold as-is.
Early country from Jimmy Newman aka Jimmy C. Newman. After JD Miller's FEATURE label couldn't get Newman's music going, Miller convinced Mr. Fred Rose in Nashville to give him a chance on DOT records...and the following year Newman had a top 5 hit.
Dolly Parton has long credited Newman with enabling her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry, in 1959, describing how when she appeared at the Opry unannounced at age 13, asking to sing, Newman relinquished one of his two allotted slots to allow Parton to perform.
In 2000, he was inducted into the North American ’s International Hall of Fame and in 2004 was inducted into the Cajun Hall of Fame. He is also honored in the Cajun Music Hall of Fame in Eunice, Louisiana. He continued to tour and appear regularly at the Grand Ole Opry, making his last appearance on the show on June 6, 2014. In 2006, he joined a select group of entertainers who have marked 50 years of Opry membership.
