Unhappy Jimmy Little dies

Just heard this on the news, and quite saddened. He had a beautiful voice, and I had bought one of his albums years ago.

An indigineous Australian, he had a rich 'ballady' voice, and a beautiful warm smile .... RIP Jimmy.

Damn!
That is sad news.
Although not a fan of Country Music, I always liked listening to Jimmy Little.
He was a true Aussie Gentlemen with a great talent.

Yeah, Rest in Peace now Jimmy.

He was a lovely bloke with a huge heart and wonderful voice. He'll be greatly missed.

Another Aboriginal Australian that's died way too young

Baby Blue was a classic in my books.

He was great.

RIP

I remember Jimmy when I came here to Auss was always played on the ABC radio country shows.
The Royal Telephone was so often played that I knew every word by heart.
RIP Jimmy Little
Cheers
