Hit from 1997 by Jimmy Ray.
Some fun facts on James:
- Jimmy Ray (born James Edwards,[1] 3 October 1970, London, England) is an English pop-rock musician. In press interviews and promotional materials he cited his influence by the music of Elvis Presley and other rock and roll stars such as Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran and Tommy Steele. His manager was Simon Fuller, who also managed The Spice Girls and produced the hit show American Idol.
- Ray scored a hit single in both the United Kingdom and the United States with his song "Are You Jimmy Ray?", in 1997. "Are You Jimmy Ray?" reached #13 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S. alone. Ray released his self titled album in the U.S. on 10 March 1998 (the album was never issued in the UK). "Are You Jimmy Ray?" was also successful in his native country reaching #13 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1997.[1]
He followed up this single in 1998 in the UK with "Goin' to Vegas", but its only televised performance was on Live and Kicking Friday. It failed to enter the UK Top 40.[1] A video for the single was made, but it never aired in the U.S. In the summer of 1998, Ray went on a U.S. tour with the Backstreet Boys. In the autumn of 1998, a third promotional single and video clip, "I Got Rolled" was given minimal airplay.
According to one of his myspace fan pages, in spring and summer 2006, Ray returned to perform some of his songs live at some small concerts in the Southwestern U.S..
Ray re-emerged in 2009 as a member of the Airplayers, song production team.
