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.
