Jim Campbell (4)

Canadian singer, producer, manager from Toronto. Started his musical career in ’64 in when he was a musician/lead vocalist of two Canadian bands. One of them, Cat (13). Signed to Nimbus Nine and RCA U.S. They had one actual hit called ‘We’re All in This Together’ and a couple of minor hits. After that, he sang Jingles for Ben McPeek who was an original Nimbus partner and then got into the record side of the business in ’74, with an entry-level A&R gig with WEA (Warner Music), thanks to Gary Muth. Gary was part of Cat’s management team at Nimbus Nine. They co-produced (with Eugene Martynec) the debut single by Christopher Ward called ‘Lost in a Love Song’. After a couple of years, he segued to Promotion/Artist Relations and worked with the likes of Larry Green and partners Gary Slaight. In ’82 he crossed over to RCA which was soon to become BMG Music Canada. And though he left WEA thinking he was about to become head of A&R, suddenly a regime change happened at RCA that had him on the outside looking in.
