Chanteur Country US né le 9
Janvier 1939 à McComb (Mississippi).
Jimmy Boyd a enregistré chez Columbia (52-59), Jubilee (58), MGM (59), Dot (60)
et Imperial (67). Il est décédé le 7 Mars 2009.
Jimmy Boyd is best known as the singer of the Christmas novelty song "I Saw
Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," which Boyd recorded in 1952 when he was just 13
years old, but that wasn’t his only hit and he went on to have an active
singing, acting, and stage career. Boyd was born in McComb, MS on January 9,
1939, the son of Leslie and Winnie Boyd -- his grandfather was an accomplished
musician known locally as Fiddler Bill and Boyd picked up the music bug early,
playing guitar by the time he was four years old. By the time he was seven, Boyd
was being featured regularly on Texas Jim Lewis’ radio broadcasts. After winning
a talent contest, he graduated to appearing on The Frank Sinatra Show on
television and signed a recording contract with Columbia Records, releasing
several successful singles, including the mega-hit “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa
Claus” and duos with Rosemary Clooney on “Dennis the Menace” and with
Frankie Laine on “The Little Boy and the
Old Man," "Poor Little Piggy Bank," and "Tell Me a Story." Boyd's commercial
singing career faded in the late '60s but he had been working as an actor all
along, as well, and had regular roles on the television sitcoms Bachelor Father
and Date with the Angels. In 1960 he was cast in the Spencer Tracy movie classic
Inherit the Wind, playing a biology student. Boyd also worked in theater and
on-stage and performed on two USO tours in Vietnam in the late '60s. Always
versatile, Boyd also developed a standup comedy routine and toured the U.S. for
several years with his own music and comedy show. He retired in California,
enjoying tennis and sailing until his death from cancer on March 7, 2009 in
Santa Monica, CA.
