James Cecil Dickens, más conocido como Little Jimmy Dickens (Bolt, Virginia Occidental, 19 de diciembre de 1920 − Nashville, Tennessee, 2 de enero de 2015),[1] fue un cantante de country estadounidense. Se hizo conocido por el buen humor de las letras de sus canciones, su pequeña estatura 4'11" (150 cm), y su vestuario adornado con tachones. Fue miembro del Grand Ole Opry durante 60 años, así como del Country Music Hall of Fame.
Su estilo
Forman parte de sus canciones grandes frases como:[2]
- “Lord, have mercy, John. There goes Mighty Mouse in his pajamas!”
- “I cannot do both.”
- “Daddy’s name was Ferdinand, Mommy’s name was Lizer, so they named him Fertilizer.”
- “Shake hands, old man, I married your sister!”
- “You’d better run, idiot, we’re brothers!”
- “Rose! What’s the name of that medicine I’m takin’?!”
- “No, but if you’ll go up to the front desk and ask the nurse she’ll tell you who you are.”
- “That all depends. The lady that lives here lets me sleep with her.”
- “Get it over with, Shorty. I’m the janitor and I’d like to go home.”
- “Now I know what I did with my hearing aid!”
