Jimmie Hugh Loden (May 1, 1928 – February 22, 2016), known professionally as Sonny James, was an American country music singer and songwriter best known for his 1957 hit, "Young Love". Dubbed the "Southern Gentleman" for his congenial manner, his greatest success came from ballads about the trials of love. James had 72 country and pop charted releases from 1953 to 1983, including an unprecedented five-year streak of 16 straight Billboard No. 1 singles among his 26 No. 1 hits. Twenty-one of his albums reached the country top ten from 1964 to 1976. James was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1961 and co-hosted the first Country Music Association Awards Show in 1967. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007.

Love Sonny, was in his fan club. But I can't find the lyrics to Shiloh. This is not a complete list.

just wanted to say Sonny James has always been my hero and singer Idol,every since I used to listen to his music on WVOK out of birmingham Ala growing up in ala. myself. I`ve had the Honor to meet him and his wife Doris twice! [ Young love] is always my favorite!

Keep in mind, I was born in 1950. From the time I was old enough to understand music, Sonny James has always been my number one favorite with Running Bear . Today I still love his music. I listen to XM on station 13 and they play a lot of great music. Take Care and God Bless
