This artist is Jimmie Rodgers, the pop singer from Camas, WA, not Jimmie Rodgers, the country singer from Meridian, MS.

This was one of Rodgers' biggest hit singles. The biggest one and his only US #1 was "Honeycomb", which also topped US R&B chart in 1957.

I believe I have the picture sleeve for this somewhere. I'll add the pic here when I find the sleeve.

List price:  Very Good+ is $10, Near Mint is $20. Picture sleeves are $40 for a NM.
