New date for Jimmy:

Sunday, September 5th: Jimmy is making an appearance at the Bethel Assembly of God Church in Gideon, Missouri. The event is part of the church's special services with Jimmy appearing in the afternoon from 1.30pm.

Gospel music success for Jimmy:

Jimmy is still enjoying great success on gospel radio stations throughout the world with his song "The Eyes of Jesus." Sadly the disc is not commercially available, but for those people who can tune into radio stations that programme gospel, or sacred music, it certainly is receiving huge amounts of airplay. In April the song was No.1 on the New Christian Music Charts for the United Kingdom and Europe and still holding down a Top 20 position in July. "The Eyes of Jesus" was written by Jimmy and English composer, Roger Rounce.

Jimmy may not have a fan club these days but Nancy's Aunt is very much a fan of Jimmy Payne because she had her own blouse made! This cartoon strip was featured in many newspapers across the United States in February. For those people who didn't know who Jimmy was, it's nice to know they did a search on the internet and visited our site. Clicking on the image will open the cartoon in a larger size. For more information on this loveable comic character be sure to see the Nancy page.

Some rare footage of an appearance Jimmy made on the Wilburn Brothers TV show in 1967 can be seen on YouTube. A fan has posted two video clips - "Woman, Woman" and "What Does It Take (To Keep A Woman" Like you Satisfied") which Jimmy released as a single that year and were also included on the album "Woman, Woman! What Does It Take? Jimmy Payne Sings His Own Hits Songs" on Epic Records in 1968. The quality is not brilliant, but we hope you enjoy seeing them.

Photographs of Jimmy, together with Jim Glaser and Tommy Cash at the Storøya Festival, which was held in Norway last year can be seen on the Flickr photostream by Simon Aldra. The Storøya Festival was held in the northern town of Sandnessjøen in July, 2009.
