Jimmy Smith, (December 8, 1925 (year of birth is disputable & is often stated as 1928) - February 8, 2005) was a jazz musician whose Hammond B-3 electric organ performances helped to popularize this instrument.
Born as James Oscar Smith in Norristown, Pennsylvania, U.S.. Smith was influenced by both gospel and blues. He first achieved prominence in the 1950s when his recordings became popular on jukeboxes. In the late 1950s and the sixties he helped to create the jazz style known as 'soul jazz'.

James Dean "Jimmy" Smith (born 7 January, 1987 in Newham, England) is a Chelsea professional footballer.
Smith is an attacking-midfielder by trade and made his first appearance for the Chelsea first team in the last game of the 2005-06 Premiership season, coming on as a substitute for Ricardo Carvalho against Newcastle United.
He had been part of the Chelsea Academy for nearly three years when he was first called into the First Team, and José Mourinho has stated that he wishes for more young players to follow in Smith's footsteps and become part of the main squad. On September 272006 Jimmy joined Queens Park Rangers F.C. on loan for an initial month.
In that month Smith impressed, scoring twice in his first two games including a goal on his home debut at Loftus Road in the 3-3 draw with Norwich City. He impressed the QPR management team enough that it was announced in October 2006 his loan spell would be extended for a further two months. Later on in the year, QPR announced they had extended the loan until the end of the season.
On 4 November 2006 Jimmy Smith scored two goals against Crystal Palace at Loftus Road to help QPR win 4-2, the first goal was particularly good, a volley after a good chest control on the edge of the area. He got the second with a neat header.
On 19 July 2007, he signed on loan for Championship side Norwich City, a deal that will run until the end of December. However, on 25 July 2007, Smith sustained a worrying calf injury in Norwich's pre-season friendly with FC Zwolle, which kept him out of action for almost three months.
Smith finally made his competitive debut for Norwich on 23 October 2007, as a substitute in a 2-1 defeat to Burnley at Turf Moor.
The final appearance of his loan spell with The Canaries came in their 1-1 home draw vs Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 29, 2007. Smith has largely disappointed in his loan spell, however, he has been played out of position on the right of a four man midfield for much of his time at the club. After the game with Wolves, Norwich manager Glenn Roeder confirmed he had been in talks with Chelsea sporting director Frank Arnesen and that his club hoped to extend Smith's time there until the end of the season.
