Pretty sure he's more famous for his sausage than his music.

Ugh. Yeah, his music is completely irrelevant on this site. Just like every other artist that played classic country, blues, or funk.

I actually grew up listening to music like this maniac. Unfortunately, you are right though. It's his own fault as well that his legacy will be for making sausages. He didn't have to make them taste so goddamn good

we all know and love Jimmy Dean for his frozen sausages, and to a lesser extent, his music. But what is forgotten about the man is that he also made a line of delicious frozen breakfast sandwiches. I was especially fond of the croissants.

If his music was so good(which in my opinion it was), then he wouldn't of had to make sausages to make all of his money.

Although I guess if you have a passion for pork......

Not a shock for his age, a shock for his condition.
Much like Dio, we know he was sick, but with signs of recovery and progression. Then, suddenly game over. That's what she meant

Those pancake wrapped sausage-on-a-stick-bastard-children-of-a-corndog things are an abomination, but the croissant sandwiches are made from tears of happiness steaming from angels' faces.
