One of my favorites songs (including Games of Magic) of Bread written by Jimmy. He had a superb voice and i love how he sang the harmonies to Gates songs. Thank you, Jimmy, for bringing us your songs.
Jimmy bought a house in Memphis up the street from ours (in Hein Park) back around 1975. I had the good fortune of having a phone interview with him for my high school paper (Memphis Central), although I never did get to meet him in person. He was definitely overshadowed by David Gates in Bread. To the one asking about his cause of death, it was cancer. Most likely tied to his smoking at least in the earlier years. He had since relocated to Franklin, TN (near Nashville) which has become more of a music magnet than Memphis.
I've said it before -- he's so much like Ron Sexsmith it's scary! I don't know if Ron would agree. You would have to check with him. Anyway, James is the real thing. We're so lucky to have access to James's artistry. He's the gold standard as far as I'm concerned. Gates is a totally different entity. I admire him.he's excellent, but I ADORE James.
