Mr Jimmy
Sep 11^th, 2014 at 2:02pm

Is there any truth to this claim? Being from the great state of Minnesota, I am surprised I have never heard of this before.

Posts: 2,659 2,000 Light Years From Home Gender:	Re: Mr Jimmy Reply #11 - Sep 12^th, 2014 at 7:00am My vote is for Jimmy Hutmaker. Jimmy Miller was Jimmy Miller - that's how he's mentioned. Always his full name. Jimmy Miller has never been called Mr. Jimmy.

The Star Trib has run different versions of that. I recall someone here debunked that there was ever a Minnesota connection to the song.

Gazzapedia strikes again! OK so I was wrong, now I'm going with Jimmy Miller. Is that who you think is the correct answer Gazza?

I always thought it was Jimmy Swaggart.

But whatever Gazza thinks is fine with me.
