277 Jimmie Logsdon (1922-2001) “I Got a Rocket in My Pocket” 1957

“His career, which had never really much to write home about, seemed to be dead. His wife was divorcing him. He…was fast becoming a pill-degenerate and a drunk…Later in 1957, under the name of Jimmie Lloyd, he cut two singles for Roulette. One of these sides, ‘I Got a Rocket in My Pocket’…went on to become one of the most sought-after records in rockabilly history” (Unsung Heroes of Rock ‘n’ Roll).
