Talk:Little Jimmy Dickens

Untitled

Jimmy put out a song (recitation) about ten years ago I think was titled "Letter to Santa" where a little boy wrote a letter to Santa to give all of his gifts to a less fortunate boy he knew. I work for Little Jimmy Dickens and he asked me to find the writer of this recitation. I would appreciate any help I can get from this post.

Could a Dickens expert please add to the songlist at Felice and Boudleaux Bryant? --Design 09:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this is a poorly written and not too informative entry. What was his impact on country music? Why was he inducted into the Hall of Fame? What was his best-selling album? What about him made the world want to go to his shows? I approached this entry not knowing a lot about the man other than a few songs (which I was not that impressed with). Needless to say, this entry has not changed my opinion.

Relations

I am actually somewhat related to Jimmy Dickens. My grandmother's sister is married to Jimmy's cousin. Skosem 16:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Tom Duff 17:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC) Can anyone tell me how many,if any, children Jimmy has either in marriage or out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pitriverman (talk • contribs) 18:53, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Birthday

imdb.com lists his birth year as 1925. Matthew Meta 07:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

The Country Music Hall of Fame lists it as 1920. In my opinion, the Hall of Fame is more reliable than IMDB. Adam McMaster 08:49, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I remember Little Jimmy Dickens and Little Brenda Lee appearing on The Orange Blossom Special tv shou out of Augusta, Ga. I don/t remember the year but around 1951 or 1952. Am I the only one that remembers this??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.43.33 (talk) 01:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Children of Jimmy

Can anyone tell me how many,if any,children Jimmy had and if they were all by his wife Mona or if tere might have been a daughter by someone else?Pitriverman (talk) 18:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

WILL TIE RECORD WITH HERMAN CROOK 1925-1988

It is my understanding from the information that I can find, that Herman Crook holds the record for being on the Grand Ole Opry longer than anyone - 63 years (It is possible that Lewis Crook broke the record as he first played in the late 20's on the Opry, and I know he was still playing in december of 1989 when I saw him, and died in 1997. Next year Jimmy will tie this record (1948- ) Unless Lewis broke 63 years but I am not finding it. Of course he already holds the record of being a "member" on the Opry longer than anyone (1950- . I think part of this should be added to his biography in 2011. (PershingBoy)205.204.248.86 (talk) 19:56, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Related to Charles Dickens

Is there any documentation that supports the claim to the relationship to Charles Dickens? If not the claim should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.32.113 (talk) 07:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Agreed. At the very least it should be explained exactly what relationship he purports to have.CulturalSnow (talk) 06:37, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Ambiguous Antecendent

In this sentence "Later, telling Dickens he needed a hit, Williams wrote "Hey Good Lookin'" in only 20 minutes while on a plane with Dickens, Minnie Pearl, and Pearl's husband, Henry Cannon.[5]"

the reader cannot tell whether "he" (third word) refers to Dickens or Williams.

Most of the sentence above is not supported by the citation [5]. --There's no support for "...telling Dickens he needed a hit..." --The citation does not support "on a plane with Dickens, Minnie Pearl, and Pearl's husband, Henry Cannon." either. It suggests that Williams, Dickens, and Minnie Pearl flew on a plane owned by Pearl's husband Henry Cannon, but does not state that Cannon was aboard.

Here is the cited work: "Dickens remembered flying with Hank and Minnie Pearl in her husband Henry Cannon's plane.
