Subject: RE: Derivation of 'Kisses Sweeter than Wine'
BruceO - There WAS another Jimmie [F] Rodgers, a pop/folk singer, who was popular in the early 60's. His version of "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" was a big hit on the airwaves then, although I don't know how high it went on the charts.

He had a couple of other hits then, too, but I can't think of them. I still hear him doing "Kisses..." on our local Nostalgia station.

I may be wrong but this Jimmie [F] Rodgers died some years ago of mysterious or criminal acts ?? CRS.
