Limmie Frank Snell, Jr. (October 4, 1948 – May 27, 1986) was an American soul singer, born in Dalton, Alabama, United States. He grew up in Canton, Ohio, and attended McKinley Senior High School, but did not graduate.

In early 1965, under the name "Lemme B. Good", Snell released the original version of "Good Lovin'", later a number one hit for the Young Rascals.
Later, he formed the group Limmie & Family Cookin'. Based in Canton, the group consisted of Snell and two of his sisters, Martha and Jimmie.

The first band included Bill Holliday on guitar, who went on to be in Palm Beach Express and then CBS recording artists The Continentals, and also Peter Lodge, who also was a member of Palm Beach Express. Limmie Funk Limited included Tony Mansfield, Nick Straker and Phil Towner who, in 1976, formed New Musik, and the brothers Paul and Robert Simon, who joined numerous new wave bands in the late 1970s and 1980s, such as Neo, Girls at Our Best, Radio Stars, Cowboys International, Ultravox and Magazine.
