Tribute Mondays: James Carr

James Edward Carr (June 13, 1942 – January 7, 2001)


Rhythm and Blues and Soul Singer, James Carr, was described as a "pure vocalist" that scored hits for Goldwax Records after being turned down by Stax Records. His Bipolar Disorder impacted his career and he later died from lung cancer in 2001. Thanks for your contribution Mr. Carr, you are appreciated. Please take a listen here and have a sweet Monday: You messed my mind up, Pouring water on a drowning man. Forgetting you and The dark end of the street
