Today the singer who reaches his audience through the warmth and love he feels for his songs and the people he sings to is rare indeed. JIMMY SPENCER is that kind of singer.
It's Jimmy's love of people that makes it possible for him to touch them as he does with his music. He cares about the people who listen to him sing. It shows in every song. Jimmy likes to leave them feeling not frazzled, but soothed, peaceful and happy inside. He makes the music come alive for his audience without being overpowering.
Through the love of people and his music, Jimmy has found the key to a happy harmonious life.
Jimmy says it this way.... "Anytime you see me, say 'hello,' for without you I could never complete my soul."
JIMMY SPENCER started his career after an honorable discharge from the Navy when he formed his own band and entered into a long term contract with the owner of the Cotton Club in Oklahoma City, and played to SRO crowds nightly for over a period of two years.
Harold Austin, leader of a traveling band, persuaded Jimmy to give up his band, leave Oklahoma City, and travel with his group as the featured vocalist. After a year with Harold Austin and his group, Jimmy moved back to California, and joined a group called the Multi- Sounds and worked the Playboy Circuit for one year as a member of this group, before deciding to become a single.
Influenced by the late great Nat King Cole, Spencer developed a smooth relaxed style and a polished act. Even the great Tony Bennett was amazed at Jimmy’s style and performance while catching his act.
