Jimmy Randolph
James Randolph (born 21 February 21, 1934 in Brewton, Alabama, United States) was an America, New York-based singer of the 1960s.[1][2][3] In 1976-1977, he took part in the Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls. For his 1981 album, Sophisticated Funk, he reinvented himself as a funk singer "Sir James", a reference to having been awarded Knight Commander of Liberia in 1958.[4]
