CONDITION OF THE VINYL,COVER, AND AUTOGRAPH IS VG. Jimmy Dean (b. Jimmy Ray Dean August 10, 1928, in Plainview, Texas) is an American country music singer, television host, actor and businessman. Although he may be best known today as the founder of the Jimmy Dean Food Company, he first rose to fame for his country crossover hits like "Big Bad John," and for his television appearances. He became best known for his 1961 recitation song about a heroic miner, "Big Bad John." Recorded in Nashville, the record went to No.1 on the Billboard pop charts and inspired many imitations and parodies. The song won Dean the 1962 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. He had several more Top 40 songs including a Top 10 in 1962 with "PT-109", a song in honor of John F. Kennedy's heroism in World War II. In the early 1960s, he hosted the Tonight Show on occasion and one night introduced Roy Clark, with whom he'd remained friendly, to a national audience. His mid-1960s ABC television variety show, The Jimmy Dean Show, was one of the first to regularly present country music entertainers to a mainstream audience, including Roger Miller, George Jones, Charlie Rich, Buck Owens and a few like Joe Maphis, who seldom got any network TV exposure. He's also remembered for his sketches with one of Jim Henson's muppets, Rowlf the Dog. Many guests who were not related to country music appeared on the show. When the show ended in the late 1960s, he began to dabble in acting. His best-known role was that of millionaire Willard Whyte in the 1971 James Bond movie, Diamonds Are Forever. Dean also continued to perform music concerts around the U.S. Because of the similarities in their names, Jimmy Dean is sometimes confused with actor James Dean (who was also nicknamed "Jimmy") in song lyric references such as Madonna's "Vogue" or David Essex's "Rock On."
