Spitfire15 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/Music/06/13/jimmy.dean.obit/index.html?hpt=T3 (CNN) -- Country music artist and sausage entrepreneur Jimmy Dean died at his home in Varina, Virginia, Sunday evening, police said. He was 81. Dean, a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, was with his wife Donna at the time of his death, which appears to be from natural causes, said R.J. Clark of the Henrico County Police department. Musically, Dean is best known for his song "Big Bad John," which made it to No. 1 on both the country and pop charts in 1961 and was honored with a Grammy. His narrative style of song also produced hits like "Little Black Book" and "P.T. 109" -- a song about John F. Kennedy's command in the South Pacific during World War II. Starting in 1963, he hosted a successful variety show on ABC called "The Jimmy Dean Show," which ran for three years. Regulars on the program included Roger Miller and puppeteer Jim Henson, making Rowlf -- a piano-playing dog -- an early Muppet favorite. In the late 1960s Dean also appeared regularly on the NBC series "Daniel Boone." He played Boone's friend Josh Clements. At about the same time, Dean started the Jimmy Dean Meat Company. Dean eventually sold his meat company to Sara Lee Foods in 1984, but remained its chairman and TV spokesman, which kept him in the public eye until recent years. Dean was born Seth Ward in Olton, Texas, on August 10, 1928. His mom taught him piano starting at age 10, but he also learned how to play the guitar, harmonica, and accordion. After his discharge from the Air Force in 1948 he put together a band called the Texas Wildcats and played in the Washington D.C. area "We played every dive in Washington at one time or another," Dean said in his biography on the Country Music Hall of Fame website. "And dives is what they were." Dean was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcs Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 used to get shrooms and dro off that guy. Then he came down with schitzophrenia. I ended up running into him in jail. He"borrowed" a new BMW and drove it to texas and didn't think he did anything wrong. Anyways he was so far gone that they had to put him in PC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
