Jimmy was one of the best singers I'd heard in the UK, I loved his songs, it's very nostalgic remembering him, he could have been a Motown star as far as I was concerned!! Jimmy James and The Vagabonds, great times!! Thank you Jimmy, and bricomaligno for adding it! JOHN
Love this song 🎵 ❤ 💕
Great song and i have a story to tell. I met Jimmy James once when he was playing Blackpool this was about 12 years ago or so and me and dad wanted to meet him so we asked and he signed our t-shirt and took some pics but here';s the best bit and something i have never witness before he said to me about the CD i had of his greatest hits being deleted and would it be possible to record it for him. Seriously never expect an artist to ask fans for recordings of there own music ie a CD, so we said yes and when we got home we had the address and sent it and few weeks or so got a letter of thanks with a signed picture. I can tell you happy days and have seen Jimmy James about 4 times live and he always puts on a good show.
Great story..................
i hope you did do it for him, what a great story (Y) x
Jimmy James is a great bloke, we promoted him and Ben E King on the same bill a few years ago ( The year before Ben died ) and the pair of them sat outside in the sunshine with us at Robin 2 in Bilston near Wolverhampton eating Fish and Chips from the paper washed down by Ice cold diet Cola ~ #cherishedmemories
What a VERY NICE THING to say!!!!
I ALWAYS enjoy hearing stories about celebrities, who have NICE personalities....and treat people WELL!!!!
I met jimmy a few times while I was working at the Richmond skegness.
Great performer and top man.
I'm listening to this tune on a beach in Tenerife welling up, absolutely 1st class.
Good on you 👍
When I was DJing - Jimmy was in cabaret and I was working that room the same night. He signed all his singles for me as did a few other artistes over the years - including Edwin Starr.
REMEMBER BUYING THIS FROM "RARE RECORDS" IN MANCHESTER UK IN THE SEVENTIES.....STILL A GREAT DANCER...
Brings back many happy memory’s . Wish I could go back to how it was, and the way we were.

Reminds me of Scamps Disco in Bradford in 1975 with some of the Samanthas all-nighter regulars.
I LOVE this song
Julian Child samantha regent street London you mean? fantastic time. i was there too
WE had a Scamps nite club come disco In Norwich around that time, wonder if was a company name. ?

DMR loved Northern Soul so I guess this Biddu (NS manufactured song) was up their street 8 years later.
Well sung JJ - Respect.
