replies: text: Jimmie Rodgers (country singer) →  – I consider that this page should be moved to "Jimmie Rodgers" (as also noted by other people on its talk page). Currently, "Jimmie Rodgers" redirects to "James Rodgers", which is in of itself a disambiguation page. There are but two people with the exact spelling "Jimmie Rodgers": the original Jimmie Rodgers, whose biography is now contained under the title "Jimmie Rodgers (country singer)" and then "Jimmie Rodgers (pop singer)", who archived fame in the late 1950s. "Jimmie Rodgers (country singer)" currently has on top of the entry a "not to be confused with" notice that links to the pop singer. Now, since old Jimmie Rodgers is considered the "father of country music" and he is often cited as such by major publications and the Country Music Hall of Fame (1, 2, 3) it would be more relevant to link the entry directly to him, with the link on his article offering the link to the pop singer. I'm more than positive that most of the readers are searching for the country singer due to his major fame and influence (not putting down the pop singer, who had a briefer, but also remarkable career). I think to most readers it is frustrating to land on the page "James Rodgers" and to have to look for the singer among multiple names with radically different spellings. It is not even easy for the people who happen to be looking for the pop singer. GDuwenHoller! 20:55, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

message: I didn't want to edit the article without asking first, but isn't that Jimmie sitting on the far right of the image? Rihdiugam (talk) 02:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That was Claude Grant. Jimmie was balding (you kind of get to see it in some pictures, though you'll rarely see one of him without a hat like on this particular case). But the best way to recognize him from the others in my opinion is probably the shape of his protruding ears (and that band sure could hear!) Jimmie's were pointing out.--GDuwenHoller! 18:31, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks a million for the reply GDuwen! That's interesting about the ears. It was Dr. John's version of Waiting for a Train that brought me here btw. Just in case your stuck for something to listen to :-) Rihdiugam (talk) 22:25, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
