Jimmy Dell. Born Oscar James Delbridge, on a farm in Michigan. He moved to Coolidge, Arizona in 1946 with his family. In 1954, at Coolidge High School, he met Duane Eddy who shared his love of music. Both played guitar and sang and soon they were performing on local radio (KCKY) as Jimmy and Duane. Jimmy was the better singer, Duane the better guitarist. At Duane's suggestion, Jimmy switched to piano. By 1955 local disc jockey Lee Hazlewood had become their loosely aligned manager. In June of that year Hazlewood took the boys into Ramsey Recording Studio in Phoenix to record two of his earliest compositions. In 1957, Jimmy signed a recording contract with Rev Records and recorded four songs. They did not come out on Rev, but on a major label, RCA Victor.
Between 1958 and 1962, Jimmy sang and played piano in
Buddy Long's Phoenix group. He returned to the studio in July 1962 for an
instrumental single (Jimmy playing the organ) on the Philips label.
