Aboriginal Pop Star Jimmy Little Dies at Age 75
One of Australia’s most famous musicians died this week. Jimmy Little was 75.
Little recorded pop and country and western songs. He was also one of Australia’s most prominent Aborigines — among the first to make it big in mainstream pop culture there.
The World’s Jason Margolis met Jimmy Little in Australia last year.
