JIMMY DEAN - Songs

Country singer-songwriter and pork sausage king. Best known songs include the mostly spoken "Big Bad John" (1961), "P.T. 109" (1962), and "I.O.U." (1976). "Big Bad John" was enormously popular, reaching #1 on the Pop/Rock, Country, and Adult Contemporary charts. Dean had originally recorded the song with the spoken passage "At the bottom of this mine lies one hell of a man ..." but this created such a stir that Dean rush-recorded the song, substituting "At the bottom of this mine lies a big, big man ..."
