as a member of a vocal group in the 50's we considered the hilltoppers the best group and as lead singer l unconsciously tried to imitate his style until I found my own.In conclusion lam so sorry for your loss but l have all his recordings to listen to especially my two favorites No regrets and My cabin of dreams Benediti a Cielo Jimmy

My condolences to Jimmy's family. I absolutely loved listening to hear him sing. As a disc jockey I played the Hilltoppers records every chance I got and Jimmy was a fun guy to interview. He was certainly blessed with talent and charm!

My deepest sympathy to his family. I discovered him late in life...and never before or since has a voice mesmerized me so.

Was going to call him and see how he was doing, hadn't seen him in 10 years and now I have found out I have waited too late to see or talk to him, he would book my band in Vicksburg and Jackson Ms. he was a great fellow to work with, very professional and never lied to the band always shot straight, and also such a great talent! I will miss talking to him in person and over the phone, I was hoping he could get me some more bookings? Rip Love you Jimmy

Anne, Jimmy, Terry, & Tommy, didn't know until after a week that "DAD" passed. Called Mom & she filled me in on the details. Before Dad went into the hospital, I would speak to him weekly by phone, sometimes for an hour or more. I miss those calls & I miss you "JIMMY" RIP

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Jimmy Sacca. The Hilltoppers were one of my favorite groups from the 1950s. May you treasure the wonderful memories you will always have. Vaya con Dios and RIP.

Dear Sacca Family, we're so very sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. I loved working with Jimmy over the many years, starting in 1980; I am an entertainment agent, as he was and Bill McCoy had a band that Jimmy worked with. He was a fabulous man and he and I had many laughs over the phone while talking business. He always had a good sense of humor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. God Bless ~ Cindy Olson and Bill McCoy, Sight and Sound Productions.

Annie Rivers, Jimmy, Terry & Tommy, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Jim gave me one of his albums when still living in Jackson MS which I still have and treasure. Your Mother and I were best friends at Hollandale High, a beautiful lady married to a handsome man! All of you are in my thoughts and prayers, I will miss a very talented husband, father and grandfather. Mary Patricia Wright, Germantown, TN.

I was from Caverna High School in Horse Cave, Kentucky, and the Hilltoppers' music was on the juke box in Parkland Drugs, where I worked, in Cave City. Their music informed much of my teen-age-hood, and I went on to become a professional musician. The songs that Jimmy sang the lead on became part of the fabric of my life, as it did many people, and some of my teachers at Western, also, realized the contributions the Hilltoppers made to the American Popular Music history. "Trying" is still one of the most important recordings for that era with vocal groups, so Jimmy's legacy and the influence he and the others had, will live on. I'm so sorry I did not get to meet him, though I eventually met all the other three members. GodSpeed, and all best wishes to his wife, family and friends. He was one of the people that made the rest of us proud to be a part of the WKU family in the 50s. All best regards, Beegie Adair, Franklin, Tenn.

Jimmy's voice was so wonderful. I bought every Dot Record I could find. He was one of the great crooners of all time. May generations to come hear and fall in love with that wonderful God given sound that Jimmy possessed. Sleep well, you are one of my heroes. Will never forget your music.
