Born in Jackson, Mississippi, Jimmy Hart is an American professional wrestling manager, composer, and musician. He began in music as a vocalist for the Gentrys, whose 1965 hit Keep on Dancing sold more than a million copies and peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Jerry Lawler brought him into wrestling, first as a backup singer and then as his manager, and Hart later formed the First Family stable.

He composed theme songs for many WWF and WCW wrestlers and released the album Outrageous Conduct in 1985. He was named Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Manager of the Year in 1987 and 1994. He has appeared in films and television including Monster Brawl (2011) and Thunder in Paradise (1993). He is under a Legends contract with WWE.
