- جيم فورد (بالإنجليزية: Jim Ford) هو مغن مؤلف أمريكي، ولد في 23 أغسطس 1941، وتوفي في 18 نوفمبر 2007. (ar)
- James Henry Ford (August 23, 1941 – November 18, 2007) was an American singer-songwriter originally from Johnson County, Kentucky. After living in New Orleans, Ford moved to Los Angeles, and finally settled in Fort Bragg, California. His music is a mixture of soul, country and folk. His songs and songs he co-wrote have been recorded by numerous artists, including Aretha Franklin, P.J. Proby, Bobby Womack, and the Temptations. The UK singer Sylvia McNeill recorded "Ugly Man" in 1970, the only known version, as Ford's could not be found in his archives. Nick Lowe has cited Jim Ford as his biggest musical influence, and Sly Stone once called him "the baddest white man on the planet." His most famous song is probably "Harry Hippie", a song recorded and released by Womack in 1973. After beating a cocaine addiction in 2004, Ford found Jesus and started recording again. He was a recluse at that time, but L-P Anderson of Sweden's Sonic Magazine managed to track him down in his California trailer home in April 2006. Bear Family Records re-released his album Harlan County, originally recorded in 1969, with 15 previously unreleased songs and a 40-page booklet as The Sounds of Our Time in early 2007. The success of The Sounds of Our Time made the idea of recording new material possible. At times there was talk of using Jim Dickinson as producer, and James Burton volunteered to play guitar. A charity gig for Jim was to take place in London, U.K., on May 18, 2008. Nick Lowe was scheduled to perform together with Ford. Ford was found dead early in the evening on November 18, 2007, in his trailer home, by the Mendocino County Sheriff's department. He was 66. A few months after his death, Bear Family released a compilation of previously unavailable Ford recordings, Point of No Return. (en)
- James Henry "Jim" Ford, född 23 augusti 1941 i Paintsville, Johnson County, Kentucky, död 18 november 2007 i norra Kalifornien, var en amerikansk sångare och låtskrivare. Ford var aktiv under 1960- och det tidiga 1970-talet. 1969 gav han ut sitt enda album, Harlan County. Albumet gjorde litet väsen av sig när det kom ut, men har med åren intresserat allt fler. Han arbetade även bland annat med Sly Stone och skrev låtar åt artister som P.J. Proby, Aretha Franklin och Bobby Womack. Efter ett tag slutade Ford med inspelningarna på grund av att han tyckte skivbranschen var falsk och bedragande. I september 2006 skrevs ett stort reportage i det svenska musikmagasinet Sonic om Jim Ford där han berättade om sitt dåvarande liv. Det tyska skivbolaget Bear Family Records har därefter gett ut flera samlingsskivor med Ford. (sv)
