Date of birth
Is the Aberdeen Times, a local paper, a reliable source? 1937 seems more likely: 1930 would make him 30 at the time of his hits, an old man in pop terms in those days. Rothorpe (talk) 13:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

The Allmusic link also gives 1937. That's two reliable sources vs. a local paper. That he started in a group aged 17 is quite credible... Rothorpe (talk) 15:21, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

As does discogs.com. I'm changing it back. Rothorpe (talk) 23:05, 19 August 2012 (UTC)


 * An IP has added a further source giving 1942. I've made a footnote. Rothorpe (talk) 14:22, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Again I ask, if you say that 2 June 1937 is Jimmy Jones' birthdate, then how would you account for Jimmy Jones' grave marker stating that 2 June 1930 is his birthdate? 107.185.97.165 (talk) 02:16, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
