Jimmy Norman worked with Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix, and co-wrote the hit song, "Time Is On My Side." For 30 years, he was a member of The Coasters. After having a heart attack and being forced to retire, Norman has done some of his best work. His new release, "The Way I See It," centers on timeless, homespun stories of lost love, the pursuit of power and continuing racial differences. Norman combines the best of blues, jazz, gospel and country into his own unique sound. In this clip, Jimmy tells the story behind the song "Jo Anne" from the new recording.
