Jimmie Cox was an American songwriter and vaudeville performer. He is best known for his song, “Nobody Knows When You’re Down and Out.” It was written in 1923 and was made famous by other singers like Bessie Smith and Eric Clapton. Other artists have covered the song like Janis Joplin and Emmy Rossum.
‘Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out’ shows wealth’s fickleness and the real worth of true friends when times get tough.
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spending my money and I didn’t care
Taking my friends out for a mighty fine time
Drinking high priced liquor, champagne and wine
