Jimmy Payne is undoubtedly one of the greatest story-telling songwriters in country music history as this keepsake collection conclusively reveals. There have been over 200 recordings of Jimmy Payne songs. Jimmy was born in Leechville, Arkansas, into a large family of two brothers and six sisters. Leaving Arkansas for Gideon, Missouri, to become cotton share croppers, Jimmy worked on his father's farm until the age of nineteen. Then he moved to St. Louis to become a paint sprayer. His interest in Country music inspired him to learn guitar at the age of sixteen. Whilst still in his teens, he and his niece, Betty, had their own radio show on station KTCB in Malden, Missouri. Encouraged by the renowned songwriter Jack Campbell, Jimmy remembers how Jack would often stop by and help Jimmy tune his guitar. Jack had written some quality songs for many people including Jimmy "You Are My Sunshine" Davis and The Singing Rambos.
