Another favorite song... pls. enjoy watching...!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jim Photoglo has musically spanned four decades as both a songwriter and artist, bringing his unique creative voice to the R&B, Pop and Country arenas. Growing up in Los Angeles, he began playing in bands as a teenager but never considered music as a "career" until he was in his early 20's. Photoglo reminisces, "I wanted to get out of L.A., so I took to the highway 'James Taylor' style with an acoustic guitar, a sleeping bag and a lot of time to think...and all I thought about was music."

Returning to Los Angeles with music as a career goal, Photoglo began paying the usual dues. He took every kind of gig from playing in a funeral band to putting together a group to back John Belushi's "Joe Cocker" imitation at a party for Paul McCartney.

His solo career took off when he was signed to the Twentieth Century Fox label in 1979, culminating in a pair of Pop hits: We Were Meant To Be Lovers in 1980 and Fool in Love With You in 1981. Photoglo hit the TV talk show circuit, toured the Orient twice, and opened for the Beach Boys on a national tour. By the time his third album was released, the financially- troubled Fox label was unable to properly launch the project, and once again Photoglo took to the road.
He spent the next 2 years singing back-up for Andy Gibb, and concentrating on songwriting. His influences were diverse: the behind-the-scenes writers of the Brill Building (Mann and Weil, King and Goffin) and Motown, to writer-artists like the Beatles, the Young Rascals and the Rolling Stones. Photoglo's eclectic style fostered recordings by a variety of artists, including James Ingram and the Everly Brothers.
