paul secor Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Jimmy McCracklin was probably best known for his record, "The Walk", and for co-writing "Tramp", but he made a lot of fine recordings. My favorites are the sides he did for Modern - reissued by Ace. He had a long and distinguished career. Thanks for the music you gave us, Mr. McCracklin.

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm glad I caught up with him earlier this year. Been playing his 2 Ace CDs of the Modern recordings a lot in the last year. RIP Jimmy. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
