Link: Jimmy C. Newman
Jimmy was also known as the "ragin' Cajun," and had a particular style of music that was of regional origin. Jim also covered a Newman hit, "A Fallen Star."
In Larry Jordan's book, "Jim Reeves: His Untold Story," Jimmy recounted visits to Jim and Mary Reeves' home with his wife, and how Jim would get his guitar and sing. He also told of how Reeves tried to get him to record a song Jim had written called "I'm Gettin' Better," but Newman's retort was that being Cajun, he didn't know what he was supposed to be getting better from!

Our condolences to the Newman family. -- JULIE
