"Good Timin'", recorded in 1960 by R&B singer-songwriter Jimmy Jones, reached #3 on Billboard Hot 100 and #8 on the R&B charts in the U.S. and became a gold disc million dollar seller. Jones was noted for his smooth yet soulful falsetto much like Clyde McPhatter and Sam Cooke. As a songwriter, he scored hits for Del Shannon and James Taylor. Although Jones had only the two million-selling Top 40 hits (the other "Handyman",1958), he remained active in the music industry as both a songwriter and recording artist and made personal appearances.
