We know about the singing brakeman of the 30s, the 50's pop star, and the guy who sang relief and played lead guitar with the Muddy Waters band during the 50s, but was there another one?

Recently a movie from the 40s was shown on TV called "Dudes are pretty people" starring a singer named Jimmy Rogers. Was it the guy from the 30s, or yet another singer with the same name?

Different guy. Jimmy Rogers the actor was the son of humorist Will Rogers. He died just a few years ago, in Bakersfield.

Also the one in the late 50's or early 60's that had a hit song Honey Comb.

It all depends on how you spell the name

Jimmie Rodgers- birth name- James Charles Rodgers (Father of Country Music)
Jimmy Rogers- birth name- James Al Lane (Chicago blues singer/guitarist)
Jim Rogers- birth name- James Blake Rogers (Actor son of Will Rogers)
Jimmie Rodgers- birth name- James Frederick Rodgers (pop/folk singer "Honeycomb")
Jimmy Rogers- birth name- James Beeland Rogers, Jr.(investment book author)

Don't overlook the Jim Rogers baseball player, or Jim Rogers football player, or Jim Rogers doctor, or the other 450,983 Jim Rogers and Jim Rodgers in the world the past 100 years.
