Celebrity Graveland

December 19, 1920 – January 2, 2015

James Cecil “Little Jimmy” Dickens stood just 4’11”. But the persona he left behind loomed much, much larger. Dickens was known for his outlandish, rhinestone-laden outfits and novelty hits such as “May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose.” He was a member of both the Grand Ole Opry and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Dickens made public appearances well into his nineties, keeping his sense of humor with him the entire time. He died of cardiac arrest a little over a week after suffering a stroke on Christmas day.
