Does anyone know who Jimmy James on COED is/was?  Discogs has him down as the Jimmy James from Jamaica were all know but I and a mate think it is a different singer.  He certainly sounds different.

Pete Smith listed it 

the YT video seems to be uploaded by a belgian popcorn guy. so we can't be sure they didn't mess around with the tempo and that the song is in fact faster or slower.

Considering this I still don't think it's "our" Jimmy James.

The video plays the same as the 45. 

Thanks

This singer is DEFINITELY NOT The lead singer of Jimmy James and The Vagabonds. The former has a lighter and higher-pitched voice.  His voice sounds familiar, but I can't place it.  I like his singing very much.  It must be a quite rare record.  I can't remember having seen it before.
