December 30, 2023 Records of the Day

Jimmy Jones wrote his first hit, “Handy Man,” in 1955. In 1960, with a little help from songwriter Otis Blackwell who wrote hits for Elvis Presley, the song hit # 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. But Jimmy Jones would not be a one-hit wonder. He quickly followed up “Handy Man” with “Good Timin.’” Both singles sold over a million copies each. The “Good Timin’” single can now fetch $40.00 but the album, released on M-G-M records in 1960, can get you $100.00 today.
