    Rest in peace Jimmy Beaumont. Your career over 7 decades was built on pure talent and great harmonies. Your warm and powerful voice with all the melodic Skyliners' gave us kids of the 60's and beyond romantic music about love and relationships. It has never been better than that Jimmy....Never. This I swear is true!

    I was born in 1979 but I grew up listening to nothing but the good old oldies. Jimmy Boughmont and the Skyliners are still and always be one of my many favourites. Rest In Peace Jimmy. The world of oldies is a lesser place with out you. But you left us the best music.

    It is very sad when a singer such as Jimmy is silenced forever .My heart broke when I heard the news.In my opinion the most beautiful ballad from the 50s and ever!There will never be true love songs like this ever-and just like photographs-it will be these records that will be played and treasured .Thank you Jimmy for singing about lost love and expressing it in a way no one else could.you will be on my playlist for the rest of my days-This I swear!

      Very nice of you to reply with that information. Congratulations on your grand dads induction into the rock n roll hall of fame. Wish they could have done this before he passed so he can enjoy such an honor. If you can let me know exactly when this will take place, I would love to be there. I am in NY so not that far. Need to make some arrangements. Thank you very much.
