Those white kids sure know how to move to the blues.
And Jimmy Smith: “James Oscar Smith (December 8, 1925 or 1928 – February 8, 2005) was an American jazz musician whose albums often charted on Billboard magazine. He helped popularize the Hammond B-3 organ, creating a link between jazz and 1960s soul music. In 2005, Smith was awarded the NEA Jazz Masters Award from the National Endowment for the Arts, the highest honor that America bestows upon jazz musicians.”
Jimmy Page of the Yardbirds Led Zeppelin
Jimmy Ruffin, older brother of David of the Temptations, had a classic Motown hit: "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted."
