Sorry to hear this ,though it is a good age.
I remember his first real hit when he was a singer...
Too young......it was around 1952 when it came out and I went to Ireland with my friends family ,went to a Hooley where everyone had to perform and .I sang "too young"
Then he was good with Terry Wogan on morning programme.
Both of them had such a good rapport..
R.I.P Sir Jimmy <3
