Jimmy Plott aka Jimmy James with that great baritone voice....One of a kind...Other than being on Ringling for a short period of time (in wardrobe) he spent his entire career on Beatty Show......

"Ladies & gentlemen, experience an earthquake, the Clyde Beatty - Cole Bros walking long mount." Such a wonderful memory, among many. Thanks Jimmy

He was at his best doing the cat act announcement: "Natural, deadly, enemies OF THE JUNGLE!"

He closely followed the tradition of his idol, Harold Ronk, and upheld the honor like few others.

The contributions above are such warm and true comments about a beloved individual. I first met Jimmy back in the mid-1960s when he first came on as a clown.

He presented a certain dignity when escorting show quests that wasn't equaled.
