OLDIES SUNDAY: Jimmy James – Come To Me Softly (1966)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today on “Oldies Sunday“, we’re bringing to you a lil soul. The Caribbean has produced a number of Soul Singers over the years, and their sounds have tapped into every part of the world. For today’s selection, we look back at Jimmy James’ (whose birthday is recognized today) “Come To Me Softly“.

Arranged by Anthony King and released through the Gaydisc label in 1966, Jimmy James (in some versions include his group The Vagabonds) sang about that good ol’ love in, “Come To Me Softly”. Paired with welcoming production, this song was the one to slow dance to with your lover. James’ approach pulled the heartstrings of many listeners, and it quickly became a hit. The popularity of an early release of the song was so huge, that it prompted James to leave his job with the Inland Revenue to pursue music full time. “Come To Me Softly” would appear on Jimmy James & The Vagabonds’ 1966 album, “The New Religion“.

Since the release of “Come To The Me Softly”, Jimmy James would go on to record more singles, and score more hits over the years. He took his talents to the UK and developed a following there, and shared the stage with the likes of Rod Stewart, The Who, Sonny & Cher, Ben E. King, and many others. Jimmy James passed away in 2024, and many still play his music including “Come To Me Softly”, which is his most successful release.

THANK YOU JIMMY JAMES FOR THIS TRACK!

Bella Blair Returns With “Tired Of You” Single

Posted on by swadedavillain

There’s a time to be a creative, and there’s a time to deal with life. For a number of years, Bella Blair entertained the world with her comedy skits, and her music. She dominated her lane on Social Media, and aimed to stand out with her music as she blended genres, while still being true to her roots. Over the past few years, she slowed down a bit to focus on family. Her creativity however, never stopped, and she would share bits of it to the outside world. Recently, she announced that the creativity bug is eager to be outside again, and earlier she released her latest single, “Tired Of You“.

Produced by Kevon “Webbo” Webster, Bella Blair gets back into her Pop/R&B Music vibe with the release of, “Tired Of You”. When it comes to a situation that doesn’t mean you well, the aim is to get out. Bella shares her frustration and deception that she experienced, and she made every move to break out of it. She doesn’t sound sad here, but rather she’s relieved, and will maintain her distance, making herself happier in the long run. Bella never followed the norm when it came to her music, and we can expect this one to not only make its way onto radio rotation, but make appearances Internationally. Mama took a break, but she’s back outside.
