Jimmy Yves Newman(August 29, 1927 – June 21, 2014), better known asJimmy C. Newman(the C stands for Cajun),[1][2]was an Americancountry musicandcajunsinger-songwriter and long-timestarof theGrand Ole Opry.
Newman was born near Big Mamou,Louisiana. As a child, he listened more toGene Autrythan to theCajun musicof the area, but had a number of Cajun songs in his repertoire when, as a teenager, he joined Chuck Guillory\'s Rhythm Boys.
Herecordeda few unsuccessful sides forJ. D. \"Jay\" MillersFeature Recordsin the 1940s, but Miller persuadedFred RoseinNashville, Tennesseeto give the young singer an opportunity. In 1953, he was signed toDot Recordsand the following year recorded \"Cry, Cry, Darling\", which reached No. 4 on thecountrychart.
His recording success led theLouisiana HayrideinShreveport, Louisiana, to hire him as a regular performer. His next four records all reachedTop 10status, and in 1956 he was invited to become a member of theGrand Ole Opry.[3]That following year he released his biggesthit, \"A Fallen Star\", which spent two weeks at No. 2 and also entered the top 25 of theBillboardHot 100pop chart.
As an established artist, he began to integrate his Cajun influences into his music and recorded \"Alligator Man\", which was a top 25 record and continued to be his theme song at the Opry. In 1963, he released another top 10 hit, \"The D.J. Cried\". His final hits came in 1965 and 1966 with \"Artificial Rose\" and \"Back Pocket Money\". When his commercial popularity declined he returned to Cajun music, forming his Cajun Country band and taking the high energyfiddle- andaccordion-based music of his native Louisiana to fans around the world. In 1976, his recording of theCajun Frenchsong, \"Lâche pas la patate\" (\"The Potato Song\") earnedgold recordstatus in Canada. In 1991, Newman and Cajun Country earned aGrammy Awardnomination for their album,Alligator Man.
EntertainerDolly Partonhas long credited Newman with enabling her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry, in 1959, describing how when she appeared at the Opry unannounced at age 13, asking to sing, Newman relinquished one of his two allotted slots to allow Parton to perform.
n 2000, he was inducted into the North AmericanCountry Music Association’s International Hall of Fame and in 2004 was inducted into theCajun Hall of Fame. He is also honored in theCajun Music Hall of Famein Eunice, Louisiana, and in 2009 he was inducted into TheLouisiana Music Hall of Fame. He continued to tour and appear regularly at the Grand Ole Opry, making his last appearance on the show on June 6, 2014.[4]In 2006, he joined a select group of entertainers who have marked 50 years of Opry membership
