One of the few white singers to come out of the New Orleans R&B/rock & roll sound (he was known as the "swamp pop R&B teenage idol"), he rode the crest of the popular teen music wave in the 1950s and '60s with such songs as 'Just a Dream' and 'Venus in Blue Jeans'. He even continued to release hits after he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1961 and served for two years.
Clanton became a disc jockey in the 1970s and performed in an oldies revue, The Masters of Rock 'n' Roll, with Troy Shondell, Ray Peterson, and Ronnie Dove. He is reputed to have had a religious conversion in the 1980s. In the 1995 Jazz Fest in New Orleans, Clanton performed with Ray Charles, Chuck Berry, and Frankie "Sea Cruise" Ford.
Clanton starred in a rock 'n' roll movie produced by Alan Freed called "Go Johnny Go," and later starred in "Teenage Millionaire."

This is so riddled with inaccuracies and there IS NO SAD ENDING OF JIMMY CLANTON. He is doing well and is scheduled for performances just as soon as concerts are available again. He just finished writing his autobiography. Change the Title. Sandy Weeks, Executive Associate for Jimmy Clanton Enterprises.
@JudyeD49
I was just about to ask you guys about this!!!! You can certainly tell the TRUE Jimmy Clanton Fans/Friends as they know more about JC than anyone else!!! Love and miss you guys!!!!
@patrickpope1125
I'm still amazed that his 1965 disc hurting each other didn't chart
@timklein3962
Thank You; they cant even pronounce names correctly in this series of videos; good luck; love Jimmy Clanton !!!! A real living legend !!
@jeffpotter6428
What a bad title for a video...The only thing I agree with, is that I thought he was a much better singer than his contemporaries ( late '50s to early '60s ) and I did at that time also.....and he still sings great...He has a very soulful slight rasp to his voice and it's unique.
@bonnielewis4507
Jimmy is my Idol along with Elvis, they both are handsome and very talented and will always be #1 teen idol & king of rock & roll. Go Jimmy Go hope to get your autobiography! love you
@TheRockin1953
Jimmy is alive and well, I got to visit with him in Baton Rouge a few years ago, and he is going great
@1611Dabdoub
Jimmy Clanton is older but still going strong. He accepted Christ as His Savior and sometimes that turns people off. All I can say is, "who cares what people think about Jimmy's conversion". I am a Baptist pastor and I am proud of him. Keep on going Jimmy.
@maryannpulu8272
God Bless him! I think he is great!!
@esmeraldamontoya8176
I am so happy that he knows Jesus, this really blessed my day today.🤷♀️💜🙏
