Jimmy Bo Horne was born September 28th, 1949 in West Palm Beach, Florida, close enough to Miami to call it home. After schooling at the local Roosevelt High School, Jimmy has been singing since his teens and professionally since his college years at Bethune Cookman. His innovative spirit brought Soul music on to a campus that previously was moved by Gospel music only.

Since his main studies in college were centered around sociology, it is little wonder that Jimmy takes humanity seriously, yet he is equally lighthearted in his style of living and a smile is rarely missing from his face. In truth, that smile has won him many battles, right back to his school days when he decided to take on the task of school joker as opposed to getting involved in the school fights. The comical gait is still with him today.

Anyone fortunate enough to see a Jimmy Bo Horne show will agree that he ranks as one of the greatest entertainers. He is a proficient singer and musician. In 1967, while still at college, Jimmy entered the golden gates of Henry Stone and was assigned to his Alston label.

His first release, “I Can’t Speak,” was penned by Clarence Reid and produced by Steve Alaimo and Brad Shapiro. Actually, the record was released on the Alston sister label, Dade, as was its successor, “Hey There Jim.” A third release was forthcoming in “Love Power,” but Jimmy went into a voluntary recording retirement until 1972 when he returned to the main Alston label with the follow up to betty Wright’s mammoth worldwide smash, “Clean Up Woman.” Jimmy’s was entitled “Clean Up Man” and it allowed him his first taste of success.

After years of making 45 singles, this album represents the first full-length release for J. P. Robinson. He started recording for Henry Stone on the Alston label in the late 60s. J.P. “Pooleroo” Robinson, out of West Palm Beach, was discovered by Joe Fisher, a well-known radio disc jockey from WRBD in Ft. Lauderdale. Robinson was introduced to Henry Stone, who gave the okay for Clarence Reid and Willie Clarke to write and produce his songs, which they did with a flamboyant, energetic sound.

According to Willie Clarke, “J. P. seemed to go berserk at the microphone. He was so caught up in the feel of his songs, at times we thought we would have to hit him with a bat to calm him down. He was electric!” When he was going to do a recording session, people would try to get in on it to watch him work. His sessions were like watching a show.

Willie got the idea to write “Hot Love”, in which you can easily hear Robinson’s energy in the lyrics. Robinson was an instant sensation with the release of the hit 45 single, “I Got My Thing On A String.”
