Jimmie Rodgers, who had a run of crossover country and pop hits in the 1950s and 1960s, has died. He was 87 years old and died from kidney disease on Jan. 18, and had also been diagnosed with COVID-19, the Associated Press reports.
Born in September of 1933 in the state of Washington, Rodgers had a talent for performing music from an early age, but was drafted into the United States Air Force during the Korean War. Though circumstances had taken him away from pursuing a career in music, Rodgers revealed in a 2016 interview with Utah outlet
