  VH1.com : Jimmy Clanton : Biography
Clanton was born in Baton Rouge, LA on September 2, 1940.
Clanton joined forces with a rival band leader, pianist Dick Holler (later the author of "Abraham, Martin and John"), in The Rockets, a combo that was hot enough to justify a 1957 trip to New Orleans and a visit to Cosimo Matassa, who owned the only recording studio in the city.
Clanton became a disc jockey in the 1970s and performed in an oldies revue of his own.

Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jimmy Clanton formed his first band, the Dixie Cats, in 1956 while he was attending Baton Rouge High School.
Between 1958 and 1962, he had several national hits such as "Go Jimmy Go," "Another Sleepless Night," written by Neil Sedaka and "Venus in Blue Jeans." Clanton even continued to release hits after he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1961 and served for two years.
In the 1990's Clanton was still performing in popular oldies shows which hearkened audiences back to a simpler time in America.

Clanton joined forces with a rival band leader, pianist Dick Holler [+] (later the author of "Abraham, Martin and John"), in The Rockets, a combo that was hot enough to justify a 1957 trip to New Orleans and a visit to Cosimo Matassa [+], who owned the only recording studio in the city.
Matassa was taken with Clanton's easygoing charm and his way with a song -- he sang RandB from the heart, and he had an outgoing, likable personality.
He reached number 33 with "My Own True Love," which was adapted from the main title music of Gone with the Wind --this was, ironically enough, Clanton's first single that he didn't write or co-write (usually with Matassa).

There are two things you notice right away when talking to 1950s rock 'n' roll legends: First, with all the oldies shows being revived, they're very grateful to still be appreciated; secondly, they're always polite.
That's how pop vocalist Jimmy Clanton has always been, even when his hits like "Just a Dream," the title track of the film "Go, Jimmy, Go" (in which he starred), and "Venus in Blue Jeans" (co-written by Neil Sedaka) were riding high on Top 40 charts.
Clanton, 59, headlines Tom Moffatt's latest oldies bash - '98 Million Dollar Party with the Shirelles, Platters and Drifters - tomorrow at the Blaisdell Arena.

Ace enjoyed several national hits in the late 1950s, such as Huey "Piano" Smith's "Rockin' Pneumonia & Boogie Woogie Flu," a series of Jimmy Clanton hits, and Frankie Ford's "Sea Cruise," but by 1962, Ace's fortunes were on the wane.
Ace was to be maintained as a separate label with Jimmy Clanton, Frankie Ford and Huey Smith as artists, and Vincent was also to produce for Vee-Jay.
This marriage produced only one hit of note, Jimmy Clanton's "Venus In Blue Jeans." Within months of the signing of the deal, Vee-Jay was beset by their own problems, and Vee- Jay essentially collapsed in 1965.
