The record that introduced me to northern soul in the summer of 1974... what a ride that’s been..
Aww!! That's very sweet!
and me..used to go wild to this
I'm listening to this tune on a beach in Tenerife welling up, absolutely 1st class.
Good on you 👍
Absolutely Brilliant Record
One Of Many Northern Soul Classics KTF
RIP Jimmy James - 'A man like me' was one of my first introductions to northern soul music ... and it still sounds great over 50 years later
It was one of the first records I bought 1974ish.Then sold it about 2yrs ago. What a song.
Listening to this right now. True Legend R.I.P Jimmy 😢
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.
Brings back many happy memory’s . Wish I could go back to how it was, and the way we were.
Who wouldn’t love this?
RIP Jimmy James.
Thank you for leaving us with this awesome track among others.
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.
This takes me back to happier times ❤love it
Too right x
And me xx
😘

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
I had the great pleasure of meeting the man, and absolute gentleman,and it just happened to be my birthday.R.I.P sir and godbless
R.I.P. Jimmy

Woo ooo sweet thing
I don't know why you make my heart sing
But there's something now deep inside happening
That I can't hide
Pretty babe
You know you drive me crazy
I won't spend my life on a shelf
I need you my baby but nobody else
A man like me
Needs a woman like you
When I'm home
Wear my ring
Be my woman be my everything
A man like me
Needs a woman
Buttercup since I met you
Things have been looking up
And I just can't stop wanting you
Keep pinching myself to see if it's true
Oh pretty babe
You know you drive me crazy
Won't spend my life on a shelf
Need you my baby but nobody else
A man like me
Needs a woman like you
When I'm home
Wear my ring
Be my woman be my everything
A man like me
Needs a woman
Touch me touch me
Oh pretty babe
You know you drive me crazy
Won't spend my life on a shelf
Need you my baby but nobody else
A man like me
Needs a woman like you
When I'm home
Wear my ring
Be my woman be my everything
A man like me
Needs a woman like you
When I'm home
Wear my ring
Be my woman be my everything"
