With over 40 top ten hits in the late 50s and 60s, Jimmie Rodgers is one of the early superstars of Rock & Roll. His biggest #1 hits include "Honeycomb", "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine", "It's Over", "Child Of Clay", "Oh Oh I'm Falling In Love Again" and "The Long Hot Summer", which nominated Jimmie for an Oscar. You also know him from commercial jingles taken from his songs-- Honeycomb was used for the cereal, Honeycomb; and Oh Oh Spaghetti-O's came from Oh Oh I'm Falling in Love Again. Jimmie was in two motion pictures: The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come, and Back Door To Hell. He also had his own variety television show. An unprovoked attack in December 1967 by an off-duty Los Angeles Police Officer left Jimmie almost dead and with severe brain injuries.
