Little Jimmy Dickens Net Worth

In 1965, he released his biggest hit, “May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose,” reaching No. 1 on the country chart and No. 15 on the pop chart. In recent years, Dickens has made appearances in a number of music videos by fellow country musician and West Virginia native, Brad Paisley. He has also been featured on several of Paisley’s albums in bonus comedy tracks along with other Opry mainstays such as George Jones and Bill Anderson. They are collectively referred to as the Kung-Pao Buckaroos. With the passing of Hank Locklin in March 2009, Dickens became the oldest living member of the Grand Ole Opry at the age of 90. Dickens recalls fondly the late Minnie Pearl, who helped him hone the comic timing on the jokes that pepper his performances. One of his most memorable Opry moments was the night he introduced Bob Hope. At the end of his life, Little Jimmy spent his days at his Brentwood, Tennessee home with his wife, Mona, where the couple enjoyed working in their expansive garden in the warm months.
