Jimmie Vaughan (born in March 21, 1951 in Dallas, Texas) is an American blues guitarist and singer. He is the older brother of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Jimmie Vaughan's style was influenced by Freddie King who gave him personal advice. Also two other Kings of blues guitar, Albert King and B.B. King, were important influences. Jimmie Vaughan developed his own personal style that is easily recognized. He formed the band Fabulous Thunderbirds with singer and harpist Kim Wilson. The early albums of the band released in 1979-1983 are ranked among the most important white blues recordings. However, since those early albums did not sell well, the band was left out without a recording contract for a couple of years (during the same time Jimmie's little brother made his breakthrough).
