Legendary pop singer Jimmie Rodgers (né James Charles Rodgers) has died. He was 87. The star died from kidney disease on Jan. 18 and had previously tested positive for COVID-19, per the Associated Press. A rep for Rodgers did not immediately respond to PEOPLE s request for comment. Born in Washington state on Sept. 8, 1933, he first gained popularity in the 50s and 60s after releasing Billboard hits including Kisses Sweeter Than Wine and his rendition of mega-hit song Honeycomb. Rodgers first developed an interest in music as a young child after he learned from his mom, a piano teacher. During his time in the U.S. Air Force, Rodgers joined a band called the Melodies but was later transferred to Nashville, where he was stationed at Seward Air Force Base from 1954 to 1956. In Nashville, he competed on Arthur Godfrey s CBS talent show and won $700, a hefty sum at the time. He was signed with Roulette Records soon after and recorded his own version of Honeycomb in 1957.
