JIMMY JAMES and the VAGABONDS

One of the legends of British Soul was Jimmy James and his band The Vagabonds. In the early 70s Jimmy signed up to Biddo's production company as a solo artist, though the name Jimmy James & The Vagabonds was preserved. The first record to become a hit was 'I'll Go Where The Music Takes Me' which was never quite as big as it should have been. The problem, according to Jimmy, was that its success took the record company by surprise, because no one had much faith in him ever really making it. The next one 'Now Is The Time' was more successful. The album 'Don't Stand A Chance' is still sounding wonderful. And he released one of the best titled singles ever with 'If You Think This Funk Is Junk, You're Drunk'. Nowadays Jimmy is still very busy,appearing in cabaret, doing an incredible good set. If you want good Soul, brought to you by an entertainer who loves to enjoy the public, then do yourself a favor.. see Jimmy James and the Vagabonds.
