Chanteur Rockabily US né James Walton Fautheree, le 11
Avril 1934, à Smackover (Arkansas). Il débutera sa carière discographique sous le nom de Jimmy
pour le label Capitol de 1951 à 1953. En 1954, il obtient un contrat avec le
label Chess sous le nom de Jimmy and Johnny avec son ami
Country Johnny Mathis. Malgré un hit,
le duo se séparera rapidement et, après une tentative de duo de Jimmy Lee avec
Wayne Walker, le contrat ne sera pas
renouvellé. En 1955, Jimmy Lee décide de continuer à tourner sous le nom de
Jimmy and Johnny. Pour ce faire, et pendant presque deux ans, son frère Lynn
deviendra Johnny. Ils enregistrerons pour Decca grâce à
Webb Pierce et
accompagneront durant une année Faron Young en tournées. Après le départ de Lynn,
le duo original se reformera pour quelques sessions pour Decca, D, Vin et Republic
Records. Jimmy Lee a aussi enregistré pour Vin Records sous le nom de Johnny
Angel et pour Paula, Lodema,
Little Ritchie & Town House Records sous le nom de Jimmy Fautheree. Il
est décédé le 29 Juin 2004. (Thank You for 55houstonring)
