--------------HISTORY--------
The HISTORY OF JIMMY JAMES -- Formerly MARILYN MONROE:
In the early 80's to mid '90s Jimmy James became a darling of the talk show circuit making numerous national television appearances on DONAHUE, GERALDO, SALLY, JOAN RIVERS, CNN, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, E!, RuPAUL's VH1 and others...
He garnered international attention as the world's best Marilyn Monroe impersonator. To this day, no one (male or female) has rivaled his beautiful, well-studied, natural-like and haunting recreation of the iconic star.
James considers himself an actor, singer, impressionist & performance artist. His tribute to Marilyn Monroe (starting in 1981) was LIVE! Audiences were shocked that he could actually sing, talk, walk & look like Marilyn Monroe! The transformation was artful & stunning. Back then his shows consisted of ACT 1: "Marilyn Monroe" then quick-changing to androgyny for ACT 2:"Voices." Though Marilyn was shocking, uncanny and stunning...BUT it was the Voices that got audiences riled up usually ending with standing ovations.
In 1996 Jimmy James was asked to appear on a giant Billboard in the center of Times Square as Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland & Bette Davis along with Supermodel Linda Evangelista for the K E N A R clothing line.
By 1997 he retired the 'Marilyn' part of his show to evolve as an artist and broaden his horizons into songwriting, recording and further developing his repertoire of Voices.
By 1998 he released his 1st dance club hit "Who Wants To Be Your Lover" produced by the Berman Bros. with remixes by Chris Cox and Barry Harris of Thunderpuss 2000. The music video is on YouTube.
James has become a diverse artist in his own right and has performed for celebrities such as: Whoopi Goldberg, Elton John, Demi Moore, Patti LaBelle, Jane Seymour, Rich Little, Joan Collins, Barbara Eden, Cyndi Lauper, Boy George, Debbie Harry, George Burns, Eartha Kitt, Norman Mailer, John Waters, Norman Mailer and many more...
