Classic Playgirl: March 1977


Speaking of 70's, I can't think of a better head of 70's hair that that being sported by 1977 Playgirl Discovery James Dexter. Blonde blue eyed James (Jimmy) was shot by photographer Norbert Jobst for the magazine's March edition. What intrigued me, in addition to great face and hot body, was the quote about his mother. I am not too up on 70's country singers, anyone have any idea who they're talking about?


'The resemblance to his famous singer mother is striking---when you know who he really is. Same pale blonde hair, same almond shaped gray-blue eyes that look out at you from the jackets of dozen best-selling Country Western albums. Jimmy Dexter hasn't seem very much of his mother in the past five years, since she started collecting all those gold records, she's busy traveling all over the country.'


'Besides, she gives her age as 31 and since Jimmy is 19, it makes it rather awkward for her. 'That' show biz' Jimmy says ruefully. 'She writes great songs about becoming liberated but she can't admit she's 40.'


Sound's like the perfect hook for a country song to me!
