James was born into a family with lots of love but little money. His parents paid the doctor for his delivery with “a bushel of beans and a peck of tomatoes.”Before he became “The Funniest Man in America,” James was a successful salesman of everything from encyclopedias to log homes. His philosophy: take care of yourself so nobody has to take care of you. When he started over as a comedian, this commitment to hard work and honest dealing would be the key to his “business” of comedy. James loves working people—because that’s what he is, too.James was quickly discovered—not just in the South, but across America—by folks who love down-home, wholesome humor. He became the court jester of country music royalty, too, from Randy Travis to “Whispering” Bill Anderson to the Possum himself, George Jones.Whether it’s entertaining our troops in the Persian Gulf after 9/11, working the road with greats like Steven Wright and Jay Leno, or facing a heart-stopping emergency that sent him into a coma, James has squeezed a dozen lifetimes into a half-century of comedy. This book is the best James Gregory story yet—as only he can tell it.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 389gAuthor: James Gregory, Michael E.
