Hit: 5 Stars

"Scotland's answer to Ray Charles" The Scotsman

Most people will remember Jim Diamond. Sing the first line of one of his million selling hits "I Wont Let You Down", "Should Have Known Better" or "Hi Ho Silver" and they will instantly recall his passionate, distinctive voice.

Born and raised in Glasgow, Jim joined his first band at the age of 15. He was signed to Arista Records with his own band, "Bandit" at 22. From there he moved on to join the "Godfather of British Blues", Alexis Corner. After a couple of great learning years he moved on again to new pastures in Los Angeles, forming the band Slick Diamond with Earl Slick and Carmine Apice. He broadened his horizons further whilst in the States, producing with Carmine and writing with Michael Legrand.

Returning to the U.K. in the early 1980's, Jim met up with Tony Hymas and Simon Phillips from the Jeff Beck Band and formed Phd. The next few years saw the success of his multi-million selling no.1 hits, an Ivor Novello award for Best Single and the commissioning of the theme tune for ITV's "Boon". Jim's time was then spent with international touring, promotion, writing and recording which naturally follows this success.

Now he has teamed up with Chris "Snake" Davis, a virtuoso saxophonist, to create "The Blue Shoes" and they are both touring Scotland with old and new hits.. I highly recommended to anyone with great taste in good music and composing.

I searched the web and can hardly find anything with his name on it.. pretty depressing.. but then again..
