Linden scored two hits on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 late in the 1950s. The first was "Billy", a song originally written in 1911; it hit #7 in 1958. The second was "Goodbye Jimmy, Goodbye", which rose to #11 in 1959. Both singles were released on Felsted Records and featured Joe Leahy's backing orchestra. "Goodbye Jimmy Goodbye" incorporated elements of two previous tunes - the British music hall song "Two Lovely Black Eyes" and the country song "Goodbye Little Darling". There were a few covers, the biggest of which was by Ruby Murray in the UK. At the time of her first hit single Kathy was a married woman in her 20s, but her record company wanted her to appear as a child due to her childish voice.

Oh , beautiful song !
I always loved this song .
Jim Staudt
I remember this song well, and it is indeed the original! I was "Jimmy" then (now Jim or James), and one of my best friends was as well -- and I remember when my friend Jimmy enlisted in the Air Force, after our senior year, his mother dedicated this song to him.

Your comment is touching. But Jim, this is NOT the original and not even Kathy Linden. Surprised? (I was when I found out!) The original was released as Felsted 45-8571 with a flipside of "Heartaches At Sweet Sixteen." On that original hit version, Kathy sings "Wind is" in the line "Wind is a-blowin'" with a pause between those two words. In the version here, whoever is singing it (not Kathy) sings the line with no pause between those two words.

The chart info is true except it was not "this hit" (recording). Please check my other comments.
