Rushing, Jimmy

orig. James Andrew Rushing

(born Aug. 26, 1903, Oklahoma City, Okla., U.S.—died June 8, 1972, New York, N.Y.) U.S. blues and jazz singer. Rushing joined Count Basie's first group in 1935, gaining exposure through many recordings, and remained until 1950. He thereafter led his own small groups or worked with the bands of Benny Goodman, Buck Clayton, and occasionally Basie. Rushing's full tenor voice, although associated with the blues-based repertoire of the Basie period, was also well suited to popular songs and ballads.

Rushing, (James Andrew) Jimmy (1902–72) jazz musician; born in Oklahoma City, Okla. A vocalist with a unique flair for both blues and Tin Pan Alley material, he sang with Walter Page's Blue Devils in 1929 and with Bennie Moten between 1930 and 1934. From 1935 to 1948 he was featured with Count Basie, and he free-lanced thereafter.
