Jimmy Elledge was born on 8 January 1943 in Nashville, Tennessee. When he was 18 years old, Jimmy sent a demo tape to famed country producer Chet Atkins, who signed him to RCA-Victor in 1961. A one-hit wonder, Elledge was unknown when he sent his demo tape to Chet Atkins. The demo tape worked, and he yodeled his way on with Willie Nelson's Funny How Time Slips Away. The song which was written by Nelson had already been recorded by him. Jimmy later joined the Hickory label in the mid-60s but had little chart success. His only Billboard charted single, One By One, was released on the 4 Star label in May, 1975, but it failed to generate much airplay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Somewhere between the greed for money and sound judgment, the legends of country music were tossed aside for the outlandish sound they call country music today.
