LISTEN TO SOUL-PATROL.NET RADIO TRIBUTE TO THE "EVERYTHING MAN" JIMMY CASTOR:

---------------------------------------
Songwriter, singer, saxophonist, percussionist. producer, arranger, humorist... alias The
E-Man, has earned his well-deserved reputation as "THE EVERYTHING MAN."
Before even finishing junior high school, Jimmy Castor had written his first million seller
for Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers called, "I Promise To Remember." While furthering his
education at New York City's prestigious High School of Music & Art and later attending City
College, Jimmy pursued his musical career by assembling a band of his own playing an
assortment of major New York nightspots. He then wrote his second million seller, "Hey Leroy
Your Mama's Calling You," on Mercury Records, through which a new flashy and spirited
performer was introduced to the public - JIMMY CASTOR. Still early into his career, Castor
befriended such music greats as Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, Tito Puente and King Curtis to name
only a handful.
Moving on to RCA Records, "The Jimmy Castor Bunch" continued to show off Castor's witty,
pop/r&b writing ability through his amusing characterizations of "Troglodyte" and "Luther the
Anthropoid," hit singles from their first and second RCA albums, "It's Just Begun" and "Phase
Two" - the title cut from the "It's Just Begun" album was featured in the movie "Flashdance."
On the third RCA LP, Jimmy further established his versatility as an artist/producer by
expanding the group's more serious instrumental abilities as first recognized through Castor's
haunting rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face."
By the time Jimmy Castor released his debut album for Atlantic Records, it was no wonder that
his aptly descriptive nickname could no longer be kept a secret. "The Everything Man" LP was
released, and through Jimmy's obvious talent as a master of all trades, The E-Man and The
Bunch justly enjoyed a victory in obtaining Record World's "Top Instrumental Group" award for
the year. And, yet, another new pair of innovative singles, "Maggie" and "The Everything Man,"
hit the charts.
The internationally famous, smash LP, "Butt Of course," was Castor's second Atlantic release.
It featured two more pop/r&b hit singles, "The Bertha Butt Boogie" and . "Potential." From the
same album, there was also the legendary worldwide disco hit "E-Man Boogie," which rated
number 10 in Billboard's annual disco poll.
"Supersound," the next Atlantic LP yielded two more prosperous singles for The Bunch - one
being the widely publicized, international favorite "King Kong" which entered the Top 100 Pop
Charts in the first week of its release and reached number 1 in Japan. "E-Man Groovin',"
Castor's fourth Atlantic LP, brought forth "still another successful tale - this time about
the universal and immortal Transylvanian figure "Dracula." Castors "Maximum Stimulation" and
"The Jimmy Castor Bunch" LPs further displayed Jimmy's brilliance as a writer and performer
through his enchanting saxophone melodies and smooth vocal harmonies.
In addition to his success as a recording artist, producer, writer and arranger as "The
Everything Man," Jimmy's natural ability to relate to people along with his skill, confidence
and ease as a performer and speaker has captivated and motivated audiences throughout the
world at various speaking engagements.
Castor has appeared on such television shows as Dinah!, American Bandstand, Soul Train,
Positively Black and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Jimmy and The Bunch have also enjoyed sold
out performances at such venues as The Roxy in Los Angeles, The Felt Forum and Madison Square
Garden in New York, RFK Stadium in the nation's capitol and the Omni in Atlanta.
!And to add to his credit, much of Jimmy Castor's music ("It's Just Begun," "The Bertha Butt
Boogie" and "King Kong," to name a few) has been sampled innumerable times in movies and by a
myriad of today's most popular artists. His statement of "What we're gonna do right here is go
back," is legendary.
