JIMMY WILSON (Jimmie Wilson)

Einmal wieder ein Interpret aus dem Rhythm & Blues-Bereich und noch dazu mit unzureichenden Daten, damit auch einige Fragen zur Beantwortung offen bleiben.
Jimmy Wilson wurde 1921 in Louisiana geboren und verstarb bereits 1965 mit 44 oder 45 Jahren in Dallas, Texas. Er begann seine musikalische Karriere in einem Gospel-Quartett, wo er den Produzenten Bob Geddins wegen seiner bluesigen Lead-Stimme auffiel. Er verpflichtete ihn für das CAVA-TONE-Label wo Geddins bereits eine Band namens "The Cavaliers" leitete. Die Aufnahmen erweckten das Interesse eines Vertreters von ALADDIN, sodass für dieses und das Sub-Label 7-11 einige Singles eingespielt wurden. 1953 kehrte Wilson zu Geddins und seinem nun neu gegründeten Label BIG TOWN zurück. Seine erste Single "Tin Pan Alley" wurde mit BIG TOWN ein regionaler Erfolg, wie alle seine Singles wenn überhaupt nur regional gut angekommen sind. Sein einziger Titel, der die bundesweiten R&B-Charts erreichte, war "Please Accept My Love", aber nicht in seiner sondern in der Version von B. B. King
