About Jimmie Rodgers (pop singer)
James Frederick Rodgers (September 18, 1933 – January 18, 2021) was an American pop singer. In the 1950s and 1960s, Rodgers had a run of hits and mainstream popularity. His string of crossover singles ranked highly on the Billboard Pop Singles, Hot Country and Western Sides, and Hot Rhythm and Blues Sides charts; in the 1960s, Rodgers had more modest successes with adult contemporary music. He was not related to country music pioneer Jimmie C. Rodgers (1897–1933), who died the same year the younger Rodgers was born. Among country audiences, and in his official songwriting credits, the younger Rodgers, Jimmie Frederick, was often credited as Jimmie F. Rodgers to differentiate the two. It sold over 1 million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the RIAA. While he was in Nashville, he first heard "Honeycomb," the song that became his first hit.
