- James Carr, was an American Rhythm & Blues and soul musical artist. Born to a Baptist preacher's family in Coahoma, Mississippi, Carr began singing in church and was performing in gospel groups and making tables on an assembly line in Memphis, Tennessee, when he began recording in the mid-'60s for Goldwax Records, a small Memphis based label. Carr first made the R&B charts in 1966 with "You've Got My Mind Messed Up", followed by his most famous song "The Dark End of the Street", written by Dan Penn and Chips Moman. Carr continued to record for Goldwax until the label closed in 1969 but failed to reach the same heights with his subsequent releases. Carr suffered from bipolar disorder for most of his life which affected his career. This was evident during a tour of Japan in the 1970s when he froze in front of an audience following an overdose of antidepressants. However he completed the Japan tour with much success. A resurgence in interest in his music, spurred by his portrayal in the 1986 book Sweet Soul Music, helped return Carr to the recording studio but failed to deliver any further chart success. While Carr was never as popular among general audiences as contemporaries like Otis Redding and Solomon Burke, his vocal performances on select tracks are still considered unmatched by many soul music and rhythm & blues fans. James Carr died from lung cancer in a Memphis nursing home in 2001, aged 58.
- James Carr fou un cantant de soul.
- James Carr, cantante de soul nacido en Memphis el 13 de junio de 1942. Nacido de una familia de religión baptista procedente de Misisipi, comenzó cantando gospel en su ciudad natal, Memphis. A mediados de los '60 comenzó a grabar temas en la discográfica local Goldmax. Uno de sus primeros temas que consiguieron entrar en las listas de éxitos de una forma moderada fue "You've Got My Mind Messed Up" (1966), a la que siguió el mayor hit de su carrera "Dark End Of The Street". Continuó grabando en la misma discográfica hasta 1969. En donde encontro a un acompañante sexual de su mismo sexo. A lo largo de su vida sufría un desorden bipolar, lo que afectó en muchos momentos de su carrera. Nunca logró estar a la altura de la popularidad de contemporáneos suyos como Otis Redding o Solomon Burke, pero muchas de sus grabaciones son aún hoy consideradas como únicas. Falleció en su casa de Memphis a causa del cáncer que arrastraba en 2001.
- James Carr né le 13 juin 1942 dans le comté de Coahoma, Mississippi et décédé le 7 janvier 2001, est un chanteur de soul américain.
- Figlio di un predicatore battista, Carr cominciò da bambino a cantare in chiesa in gruppi gospel. Incise i primi due album per la Goldwax, una piccola etichetta indipendente di Memphis. Scalò per la prima volta le classifiche rhythm and blues statunitensi con You've Got My Mind Messed Up, alla quale fece seguito The Dark End of the Street, scritta Dan Penn e Chips Moman, che rimane il suo brano più famoso. Carr continuò a incidere per la Goldwax fino al 1969, anno in cui la casa discografica fu costretta a chiudere per fallimento, ma non ottenne lo stesso successo con i suoi lavori successivi. Una delle sue rare apparizioni in Europa avvenne nel 1992 al Porretta Soul Festival. La sua vita travagliata, spesso ai margini della società, si è conclusa nel 2001 all'età di 59 anni per un tumore polmonare. Di gran lunga meno popolare per il grosso pubblico rispetto ad altri artisti della sua generazione, ha lasciato registrazioni che molti critici giudicano insuperate. Di recente l'etichetta Ace inglese ha ristampato tutti i suoi dischi.
