Jimmy Dean

Yes, that Jimmy Dean.  Singer and Sausage King.  Did I ever tell you that the day I was born the number one song in the nation was Jimmy Dean’s Big Bad John?  Yep.  And did you know that he gave Jim Henson his first big break on the Jimmy Dean Show?  Yep.

But it’s interesting to note that Jimmy Dean was almost cut from Columbia records because he hadn’t had a hit in years.  And then came Big Bad John.  It was Number 1 for the entire month of November in 1961.
