"memories are made with music"

"First, you would hear it on the radio, then it appeared on juke boxes. Some would buy it and listen at home.

Why? Because they liked it and it made a memory for them. Music is part of life."  Jimmy Dee

Back in 1963, Jimmy was on the road a lot with Sharon and The Chevelles, as well as keeping his own appearance schedule. He was the drummer for the Chevelles and also sang, however, he never sang on any of Sharon Wynter's recordings because his contractual obligation was with a different label. He also was still doing sessions both in Memphis and Nashville at that time.

In 1993 Sharon and The Chevelles performed together for the last time at an Oldies Reunion Concert in which they were a featured act.  You will hear Jimmy sing here just as he did in their live club act. These are some clips from that memorable evening.  

Sharon and The Fabulous Chevelles - Reunion Concert 1993

Here is a great tune Sharon Wynter recorded in 1966.

You can barely hear Jimmy on the drums but that's the way it should be in song like this.

I'm In The Mood For Love

In was in 2002 that Jimmy made several appearances with the Tuxedo Junction Band and from that came Jimmy's great rendition of a very beautiful song.  Recorded Live. Enjoy this memory with us!

Unchained Melody

Recorded in 1961 for TNT and not released until 1988 when it appeared on a White Label LP complilation disc.

Jimmy says,

 That's What I Call Love
