They may have called him little, but the man had a big voice. He lived to the ripe old age of 88 and spent that time doing what he did best: singing. In the early years, Jimmy had it pretty rough: a rare disorder stunted his growth, he was orphaned at age thirteen, and he had not been given credit on his early recordings. However, he kept up the hard work and, after some trouble with record labels and spending a long time out of music, he resurfaced in the '90s and made a huge comeback. From then on, he would continue his singing career for the rest of his days. Rest in peace, Jimmy.
