Jimmy Thomas - Dancing On The Edge Of A Dream Jimmy Thomas makes a fabulous new version of my 1976 classic L.J. Johnson hit, "Dancing On The (More) Jimmy Thomas makes a fabulous new version of my 1976 classic L.J. Johnson hit, "Dancing On The Edge Of A Dream", which was the follow up to "Your Magic Put A Spell On Me". I have known Jimmy Thomas for a staggering thirty five years. I used to vist him when I first visited London, at his home in Chepstow Road, Notting Hill Gate, and even have my picture in Kev Roberts' book, taken with him in The Torch in Stoke On Trent in 1972, when I DJ'd there as a teenager. Jimmy was born in Osceola, Arkansas, USA. He called his first band "The Trays" and he formed this whilst still in school. Albert King, the late eminent blues guitarist/singer, a family friend, arrived in the early hours of one morning, shortly after Jimmy left school, and took him to St Louis to meet Ike Turner. Having enjoyed the meeting, Jimmy stayed in St Louis as one of the male vocalists in Ike's "Kings of Rhythm". Jimmy was there when the Ike and Tina Turner Revue was formed. He was the main male vocalist with his own spot in the show. He travelled and recorded extensively with them, touring Britain twice and the USA many times. It wasn't long before Ike recognised Jimmy's songwriting talent. "You can Go" was released on Sue Records the label owned by Juggy Murray of New York. "Just Trying to Please You" c/w "Where There's a Will (There's a Way)", as well as "He's Alright With Me" and " Your Kind (is no good)" (Jimmy's songs) were released on Mirwood Records. All of these releases did well. During the second UK tour with the Ike and Tina Turner Review, the late Denny Cordell, who produced many artists such as Joe Cocker, J J Cale, Procul Harum and others, and Tony Visconti, who produced T-Rex, David Bowie and others for Straight Ahead Productions, invited Jimmy to return to London to learn record production under their auspices. One of Jimmy's early productions and songs was a massive Northern Soul hit. "The Beautiful Night"/"Above a Whisper" single was the first of Jimmy's productions and "Where There's a Will (There's a Way)" also became a Northern Soul classic. "The Beautiful Night" was re-recorded for 20th Century Records. Jimmy produced an album of his own work, called "Abyss", on Contempo International, a London label owned by John Abbey. Since arriving in England, Jimmy has made several singles and has worked vocally with many, many artists - John Lennon, The Rolling Stones, Madness, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - and the list goes on. Jimmy has his own label, Osceola Records as an outlet for his work. I filmed him for The Strange World Of Northern Soul doing recuts of "The Beautiful Night", and the classic from Mirwood Records, "Where There's A Will There's A Way". And now this amazing version of "Dancing On The Edge Of A Dream", simply gives me goosebumps, as does this wonderful video. My brand new album, "Yesterday And Tomorrow", is probably the most dear to my heart project that I have ever undertaken. I decided after thirty three years since I made my very first record, "Reaching For The Best" by The Exciters, to take a trip back down memory lane and recut thirty of my classics on artists who I am currently working with, reinterpreting them in 2008 without losing the magic that made them special in the first place. It's a totally self indulgent project, but one which already has my fans salivating with delight. I first got the idea when I recut Evelyn Thomas's wonderful classic "Have A Little Faith In Me" with Ebony Alleyne, last year. So I'm doing thirty in total, twenty four for the CD and six more extra ones for the DVD, picking either my biggest hits, my most beloved tracks, or the songs which people most requested to see a video. As I must clearly explain, these are not the original versions. And that's what makes the project exciting and new.These are brand spanking new interpretaions of the classics, by Centre City's current roster of artists , built up over a thirty three year career of making records.
